Zohran Mamdani thought he could hide his radical past, but the internet never forgets. The 33-year-old socialist who shocked New York by beating Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary is now scrambling to explain away years of extremist posts. His own tweets are coming back to haunt him in a big way.
Most shocking are his 2015 posts defending Anwar al-Awlaki, the al-Qaeda terrorist who helped plan attacks on Americans. Mamdani actually blamed the FBI for pushing al-Awlaki toward terrorism instead of condemning the monster who called for killing innocent Americans. This is the man who wants to run America’s largest city.
Retired firefighter Jim McCaffrey, who lost family on 9/11, called Mamdani’s posts deeply offensive to victims and their families. Former Congressman Peter King said Mamdani is making excuses for terrorists and blaming America for their evil choices. These brave Americans see right through Mamdani’s dangerous ideology.
The socialist candidate also wants to fight high grocery prices by having the government take over stores. This is straight out of the failed Soviet playbook that starved millions of people. Mamdani clearly learned nothing from history about what happens when government controls the economy.
After four people were murdered in Manhattan, including a police officer, Mamdani suddenly changed his tune on defunding the cops. His old tweets calling to slash police funding came back to bite him at the worst possible time. Now he claims he supports law enforcement, but his real beliefs are there for all to see.
Mamdani has refused to condemn the phrase “globalize the intifada,” which calls for violence against Jewish people worldwide. In a city with millions of Jewish Americans, this extremist position shows his true radical colors. His anti-Israel activism reveals someone who sides with terrorists over our democratic allies.
The candidate was vacationing in Uganda while New Yorkers were being gunned down in the streets. This shows exactly where his priorities lie when Americans need strong leadership the most. Real leaders don’t run away when their city faces crisis.
Patriots across America are watching this race closely because Mamdani represents everything wrong with the radical left today. New Yorkers deserve better than a terrorist sympathizer who wants to turn their city into a socialist wasteland. The choice has never been clearer for voters who love America.
