Fox News and the entire GOP is so terrified of Mayor Zohran Mamdani's success that they are mocking him for asking New Yorkers to be careful with their thermostats during an extreme heat wave. This is the same advice Trump's Energy Department has suggested as well.

Not only do they look foolish, but they appear desperate in their efforts to smear and ridicule a popular political rival.

This morning on Fox and Friends, the three co-hosts were beside themselves that the mayor of New York City would ask residents to turn the thermostat higher to conserve energy so that there aren't any blackouts during this massive heat wave.

Ah yes, asking your community as Mayor to be conscious of thermostat temperatures during a heatwave, to avoid brownouts or blackouts...

Communism. Not common sense.

Off topic, but as somebody who remembers when eastern seaboard grid died during the summer. I wouldn't want it to go down in this fucking heat.

And these "hosts" seem old enough that they should remember.

    Yeah, but this way they can complain about him asking folks to adjust their thermostats, and if people don’t, and there happens to be a blackout, then they can ALSO blame him as if he’s somehow running the Eastern power grids.
