Mamdanis radical wife Rama Duwaji cant be a private citizen but get a taxpayer-funded escort to Syria

I just returned from a lovely weeklong trip to Italy’s Amalfi Coast.You’ll be glad to hear that no NYPD officers had to accompany me to ensure my safety while I enjoyed lemon gelato and gnocchi alla Sorrentina.Why?
