ZOHRAN MAMDANI READS JOHN KENNEDY’S “RESUME” LIVE — CNN SILENT FOR 11 SECONDS
Jake Tapper asked with a grin:
“Senator Kennedy says you’re emotional and need to ‘do your homework.’ Thoughts, Zohran?”
Mamdani didn’t flinch.
He pulled out a single sheet titled: KENNEDY’S GREATEST HITS.
The studio froze.
With calm precision, Mamdani read:
Louisiana: bottom 5 in infrastructure for a decade.
Twenty years in Washington: zero major infrastructure bills.
Talks about EVs: votes against every EV initiative.
Criticizes supply chains: backed policies that broke them.
Claims to defend rural America: state broadband near the bottom.
Says others need homework: state full of potholes.
Mamdani folded the paper and delivered the blow:
“Jake, I did my homework. When Senator Kennedy can fix his own state’s roads, water, and power grid, then he can lecture anyone. Until then—bless his heart.”
Eleven seconds of stunned silence.
Producers panicked.
The internet exploded — 97 million views in hours.
#DoYourHomeworkKennedy took over every platform.
Kennedy’s office called it “disrespectful.”
Mamdani posted the folded paper with one caption:
“Disrespect is pretending to be an expert while your own infrastructure collapses.”
One sheet. One politician. Eleven seconds.
The internet never recovered.
