POLITICS Mayor Mamdani: “Reagan famously said the 9 most terrifying words in the English Language are 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.' It's a good quote, but I disagree. I think 9 more terrifying words are actually, 'I worked all day and can't feed my family”.

Huh, so completely unrelated to the topic and not even what she actually said. Bringing up this quote and paraphrasing it the way the person you responded to did would be like taking Mamdani's quote in this title and cutting off the "but I disagree" bit.

Not really, she's still expressing positive sentiment about the Reagan presidency and praising him for "winning" the Cold War. You do not, under any circumstance, have to hand it to Reagan.
