周二,在寒冷天气导致18名纽约市居民死亡后,国会第二号共和党人猛烈抨击了市长佐兰·曼达尼。

众议院多数党领袖、路易斯安那州共和党人史蒂夫·斯卡利斯在评论中警告称,如果民主党拒绝两党就国土安全部(DHS)资金达成的妥协方案,将导致联邦紧急事务管理局(FEMA)等关键部门面临严重资金短缺。

“如果民主党得逞,哪些项目将得不到资金支持?他们实际上会停止为救灾和联邦紧急事务管理局拨款,”斯卡利斯表示。“仅在纽约市,这场风暴导致人们在社会主义市长曼达尼的领导下被冻死——这就是民主党领导带来的后果。”

曼达尼周一证实,东海岸多地出现危险低温,纽约市已有第18人死亡。

“自周五的新闻发布会以来,由于此次寒潮,又有一名纽约人在街头丧生。总死亡人数现已达到18人。每一名逝去的生命都是一场悲剧,我们将继续向他们的家人表示慰问,”曼达尼在另一个问题的新闻发布会上说道。

他敦促无家可归者在避难所躲避零下温度,市政府还在全市部署了取暖车辆。

然而,共和党人指责曼达尼在严寒冬季期间未能充分扩大紧急服务的可及性。

斯卡利斯还指出,如果国土安全部资金失效,运输安全管理局(TSA)员工可能被迫无薪工作。

“他们想关闭运输安全管理局。仅以亚特兰大机场和纽约拉瓜迪亚机场为例——如果民主党得逞,这两个机场的关闭将给数千万美国人造成严重破坏,他们只是想探亲、参加婚礼或其他出行,”他表示。

“也许有人想创业,想去另一个城市创造就业机会,但他们无法做到——因为民主党想闹脾气,不是为了削减移民与海关执法局(ICE)的资金,而是因为他们想在美国制造混乱以实现开放边境。”

移民与海关执法局(ICE)的资金问题是民主党特别反对的,该局去年从总统唐纳德·特朗普的“庞大、美丽法案”中获得了数十亿美元资金。

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise invoked Mayor Zohran Mamdani in the wider DHS funding fight

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie criticized New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s handling of a massive snowstorm that had hit his city last month.

NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!

The No. 2 House Republican in Congress tore into Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Tuesday after cold weather left 18 New York City residents dead.

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., made the comments in the context of warning that Democrats’ rejection of a bipartisan compromise on funding the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will leave critical offices — like the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) — with a dire lack of money.

“What is not funded if the Democrats get their way? They will literally shut down funding for disaster relief and FEMA,” Scalise said. “In the middle of a storm that in New York City alone — you want to see what socialism gets you — people now have frozen to death under the leadership of the socialist Mamdani. That’s what Democrat leadership gets you.”

Mamdani confirmed on Monday that an 18th person died in New York City during a period of dangerously low temperatures up and down the East Coast.

“Since Friday’s press conference, one additional New Yorker lost their life on the streets of our city as a result of this cold snap. The total lives lost is now 18. Each life lost is a tragedy, and we will continue to hold their families in our thoughts,” Mamdani said during a press conference about a separate issue.

He urged homeless residents to shield themselves from below-freezing temperatures at a shelter, while his administration has also deployed warming vehicles throughout the city.

Republicans, however, have accused Mamdani of not doing enough to expand access to emergency services during the bitter winter.

Scalise also pointed out that the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) could also see its employees forced to work without pay if DHS funding lapsed.

“They want to shut down TSA. So just take Atlanta’s airport, LaGuardia [in New York City]. Those two airports alone having been shut down, if the Democrats get their way, will wreak havoc with tens of millions of Americans who just want to go see their family members, want to travel for a wedding, or whatever the case may be,” he said.

“Maybe they’re trying to start a small business and want to go to another city to try to create some jobs. They won’t be able to do that because Democrats want to have a tantrum, not to defund ICE, because again, ICE is fully funded, but just because they want to cause chaos in America to get open borders.”

Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE), whose funding Democrats have taken issue with specifically, got an injection of billions of dollars from President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” last year.

Fox News Digital reached out to the New York City mayor’s office for a response to Scalise’s comments.
