““As I said on that freezing January afternoon to more than eight and a half million New Yorkers — ‘We will govern without shame and insecurity, making no apology for what we believe,” Mamdani said, according excerpts of his prepared remarks reviewed by The Post.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim quotes specific remarks made by Mamdani regarding governing 'without shame and insecurity, making no apology for what we believe.' While web search results confirm Mamdani gave speeches and made political statements, the exact quote and context of speaking to 'over eight and a half million New Yorkers' on a 'freezing January afternoon' cannot be corroborated by multiple independent sources or authoritative references provided.

Web search results confirm references to his 100-day celebration and statements about his socialist alignment, but the specific phrasing regarding '102 days' is only found within the search results and lacks independent corroboration.
