Actor and comic Michael Rapaport recently appeared on Bill Maher’s podcast and blasted New York City over the high level of crime. Rapaport is a liberal but he is completely against the candidacy of Zohran Mamdani and this is one of the reasons why.
Rapaport shocked Maher by telling him stories about how his wife has been assaulted and harassed in the city, in broad daylight no less.
For a liberal, Rapaport has surprisingly conservative views on law enforcement and punishment for crimes.
FOX News reports:
Actor Michael Rapaport revealed that his wife was groped by someone in Times Square during a discussion Monday about crime in New York City.
“I want people to feel safe in New York City. You know, I want my wife to feel safe. My wife is a tough broad. She doesn’t feel safe in Midtown Manhattan during the day,” he said. “My wife, in the last two or three years, has been groped in Times Square, has had a f—ing shoe thrown at her, has been called the n-word, and got proposed to on the train by a homeless person, all between 11 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.”
Rapaport spoke with comedian Bill Maher during his “Club Random” podcast.
“It’s not cool for women to feel uncomfortable during the daytime in the greatest city on Earth. It’s also not cool that, under any circumstances, you could touch a police officer, not be from this country, come out the next day and walk out of the court like f—ing Tupac like those guys did when they jumped, you know, like f—ing giving the middle finger to photographers,” he said…
“I grew up on the New York City subway system. I grew up taking the subway. You got to pay attention. It’s not Disneyland. It’s not the Central Park Zoo. But people like — it shouldn’t be a thrill, it shouldn’t be a house of horrors,” the actor said.
Watch the video below, but be aware, there is a lot of cursing:

If Zohran Mamdani wins the NYC mayoral election this week, things are probably going to get a lot worse for New Yorkers. He does not have a good vision for dealing with crime.
