Socialist LA official leaves city park looking like this as she skips town for Mamdani inauguration

Lefty Los Angeles City Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez took time to cheer fellow left-wing firebrand Zohran Mamdani in New York — even as chaos in her fentanyl-fueled zombie MacArthur Park festered back home.

Hernandez attended Mamdani’s New Year’s Day inauguration, where the newly sworn-in mayor vowed to govern “expansively and audaciously” and usher in what he proudly called “the era of big government.”

She documented the trip with social media selfies — including one from the crowd alongside Los Angeles City Council president Marqueece Harris-Dawson.

Hernandez cheered the spectacle online, calling the trip “a reminder that the movement for dignity, justice, and humanity is bigger than any one city,” adding that “from LA to New York City, our fights are connected.”

Back home, the contrast was brutal.

In her own district, residents say she left behind a zombie-apocalypse park — a drug-soaked sprawl where 911 calls for overdoses, fires and violent disturbances pour in day and night.

The backlash followed her online.

“Why are taxpayers funding this?” one commenter shot back under her post. “You can’t even keep the lights on in your district.” Another jabbed: “Who paid for the trip — one of your billionaires? A corporation? Taxpayers?”

Others accused Eunisses Hernandez of abandoning her district altogether. “The encampments surely missed you,” one post reads. “For them, it’s like you’ve been absent for four years.”

“You’re a great example as to why people have distrust in government @cd1losangeles You can’t even show up for your constituents to the point where a cardboard cut out was put in your place!” another said.

The backlash lands as Hernandez leans hard into the DSA playbook.

She has voted against city budgets that would boost police resources, backing policies that scale back enforcement and supporting needle and crack-pipe distribution in and around MacArthur Park, even as residents plead with City Hall for basic safety, order and accountability.

Adding hypocrisy — not just policy — to the backlash, campaign finance filings show the DSA-backed councilmember accepted donations from two billionaire families, even as she publicly trashes billionaire and corporate money and sneers at wealthy donors to “keep scrolling” in a campaign video.

In that same video, Hernandez takes a swing at her challengers for “standing with” the New York Post.

The Post has contacted her office more than a dozen times for comment — including again Friday —with no response.

The inauguration itself was pure progressive theater. Mamdani, 34, was sworn in publicly by Bernie Sanders as chants of “tax the rich” echo through the crowd. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez appeared too, praising voters for choosing what she calls courage over fear.
