Brooklyn College faces criticism for hosting a “Fight Oligarchy” Town Hall featuring Sen. Bernie Sanders to promote socialist Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral campaign. Critics argue that it is a partisan event due to the lack of representation from other candidates like Eric Adams and Curtis Sliwa. Former CUNY trustee Jeffrey Wiesenfeld condemned the event, claiming it undermines public education’s integrity. He and others, including Staten Island GOP operative Jerry Cammarata, called for the Board of Trustees to condemn the event. Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa accused Sanders of using the college to pass his socialist ideals to Mamdani, whom he describes as a protégé. The college defended the event, stating its venues are open for any candidates to rent.
