Former New York City mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa (R) was spotted walking along the Central Park road behind the Met, telling celebrity.land he was “counting the number of cops” who were “protecting the billionaires” at the gala.
“Those people are totally indulgent, selfish —,” began Sliwa, founder of the Guardian Angels and a Republican who lost to Zohran Mamdani in last year’s NYC mayoral election, about the guests inside. “What are we doing for the homeless here? Why don’t they go into the subways?”
Sliwa, who was walking outside the museum’s police-flanked perimeter with his wife Nancy, claimed to spot some 200 officers at what he dubbed the “Masters of the Universe Ball.” He suggested that the Met rely on its own security and that the event be held on New York’s Governors Island.
When asked whether he would have attended the gala had he been elected mayor, Sliwa emphatically said he would have skipped the event, much like Mamdani.
