Actor and comedian Michael Rapaport criticized New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani during a Jewish gathering Friday, calling him "a two-bit con man." 

"Zohran the moron is the most divisive mayor in the history of this city by far," Rapaport said outside the Gracie Mansion, Fox News reported

He went on to call the mayor's wife an "antisemite" and "racist," and alleged she's "homophobic." 

When asked about the gathering, Mamdani said that he welcomed them. 

"They can have a vigil, or I've heard some describe it as a protest," the mayor told Fox.
