Domestic violence survivors who spoke with the Washington Free Beacon said New York Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani's belief that police should not respond to incidents of domestic violence has the potential to cost women their lives. Michelle Esquenazi, a bail bondswoman and founder of the Victims’ Rights Reform Council advocacy group, told the Free Beacon that she remembered vividly the day in 1993 when her then-husband attacked her and held their two-year-old child over a banister.
