Sid Rosenberg has been in the news following harsh criticism of New York mayor Zohran Mamdani, which some labeled as racist and Islamophobic. He now says he’s considering going after outlets like TMZ and The New York Times for linking his comments to actions outside Gracie Mansion over the weekend when an IED was thrown at protestors.
The NYPD has confirmed that two improvised explosive devices were recovered following protests outside Graice Mansion on Saturday. A third “suspicious device” was found in a vehicle as the investigation is ongoing.
Following the situation, TMZ noted that Sid Rosenberg had subjected Mamdani to prejudiced comments after the 77 WABC morning host called the mayor an “America hating, Jew hating, radical Islam cockroach.” Rosenberg subsequently apologized for his remarks after receiving backlash.
The New York Times, City and State New York, also mentioned Rosenberg’s comments in their stories following the situation.
On Monday morning’s edition of Sid & Friends in the Morning, Sid Rosenberg shared that he’s considering legal action against the outlets.
“I want an apology,” Rosenberg stated. “I may sue ’em. I’m talking to (attorney Joe) Tacopina and a few other attorneys today. If I can do that, I don’t know. I mean, they just included something which I did say, I did say that. But the implication in all these articles is that somehow I was involved in this. So at the very least, The New York Times, TMZ, that stupid City and State owe me an apology. If not, I may sue ’em. I don’t know.”
