NEW: Radical Manny Rutinel in NYC with Socialist Zohran Mamdani

New reporting highlights that Manny Rutinel was spotted in New York City with Socialist Zohran Mamdani. 

“Manny Rutinel’s quest to be the Zohran Mamdani of House candidates proves just how disconnected he is from the people of Colorado’s 8th District. His sprint to the far left will be rejected by Coloradans who value common sense, not socialism.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon

Rutinel’s appearance in NYC with Mamdani follows ‘Leader’ Hakeem Jeffries endorsing Zohran Mamdani, cementing the party’s full embrace of the far-left agenda that will be electoral poison in the 2026 midterms.

A new memo from the NRCC highlights the battle plan to make every Democrat in battleground districts carry the weight of their party’s radical, socialist agenda.

Manny Rutinel, a leftist running in Colorado’s Eighth Congressional District, has reportedly aligned himself with radical groups and causes.

Further, as reported by Town Hall, Rutinel has purportedly aligned himself with radical groups “which are openly hostile to U.S. immigration enforcement, including one that circulated a Google folder titled ‘F*CK ICE’ with resources to help illegal immigrants avoid arrest.”

On that front, he also backed a letter calling for the release of illegal immigrant Jeannette Vizquerra, who founded Abolish ICE Denver and has dodged deportation for years.

A man who appears to be Rutinel has also been spotted in one of socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s social media videos.

Posts from Rutinel’s account show he was in New York at that time.
