Socialist Zohran Mamdani, the likely next New York City mayor, made waves the other day when he said his aunt feared for her safety while wearing a hijab on the subway after 9/11.
It didn’t take long for people to prove that Mamdani lied as a way to accuse people of Islamophobia, as people continue to bring up his anti-Israel views.
Mamdani admitted the person in his story wasn’t his aunt but a distant relative.
Mamdani told reporters today:
Yes, that’s I was speaking about my aunt. I was speaking about Zehra Fuhi, my father’s cousin, who sadly passed away a few years ago. And for the takeaway for my more than 10 minute address about Islamophobia in this race and in this city, to be the question of my aunt, tells you everything about Andrew Cuomo and his inability to reckon with a crisis of his own.
Oh give me a break. It proves you’re a liar and trying to deflect from the truth that you’re anti-Israel and a danger to Jews in New York City.
