There’s no amore lost between Mayor Zohran Mamdani and the local Italian-American community. Mamdani is skipping the Christopher Columbus Day parade up Fifth Avenue on Monday, The Post has learned. The snub isn’t a huge surprise as the mayor has often railed against the explorer, bashing him as a colonist that abused and displaced Native Americans.
