In a shocking turn of events, NYC Councilman Jeffries has finally broken his silence on why he has not yet endorsed fellow Democrat, Mamdani, for mayor of New York City. The reason? According to Jeffries, he simply cannot bring himself to endorse someone who he believes has a questionable taste in pizza toppings.
In a press conference held outside of a local pizzeria, Jeffries announced, “I cannot in good conscience endorse a candidate who thinks pineapple belongs on pizza. It’s simply un-American and goes against everything I stand for as a New Yorker.” When asked for clarification on his stance, Jeffries added, “I mean, who in their right mind puts fruit on a pizza? It’s madness!”
Mamdani, who was caught off guard by Jeffries’ comments, responded by saying, “I never thought my choice in pizza toppings would come into question during a mayoral race. But hey, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, even if it’s a completely ridiculous one.”
The news of Jeffries’ pizza-related endorsement snub has sent shockwaves through the political world, with many speculating on what other arbitrary reasons could be holding him back from supporting Mamdani. Some have suggested that perhaps Jeffries is holding out for a candidate who shares his love of Hawaiian shirts, while others believe he may be waiting for a candidate who can recite the entire “Hamilton” soundtrack from memory.
As the race for NYC mayor heats up, it seems that pizza preferences may play a larger role in endorsements than anyone could have predicted. Will Jeffries’ stance on pineapple pizza ultimately determine the outcome of the election? Only time will tell. But one thing is for certain – in the world of NYC politics, anything can happen, especially when it comes to pizza toppings.
