Instead of blaming the extreme cold for the historic fatalities during NYC’s last snowstorm, Mamdani is pointing to overdoses, a shift that looks more like damage control than accountability.

After being questioned about 19 reported deaths from the recent snowstorm, NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani pushed back on MS NOW, stating that some of the deaths were due to overdoses, not the storm itself.

Mamdani: “So as of now, we have no deaths reported from this blizzard from being outside or in a public area… A number of those New Yorkers who lost their lives, the preliminary indications came that it was from an overdose-related death.”
