Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani claimed that his aunt was a victim of the September 11, 2001, attacks. He argued that because of the attacks, his aunt did not feel comfortable wearing a hijab on the NYC subway. She “feared backlash”. Zohran accused his opponents of “stoking Islamophobia.”<\/p>\n

From Breitbart:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

New York City mayoral candidate and radical Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani tried to paint his Muslim aunt as a victim of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks due to her fear of backlash for wearing a hijab.<\/p>\n

Mamdani addressed reporters and the Muslim community while speaking outside the Islamic Cultural Center of The Bronx on Friday, the New York Post reported.<\/p>\n

He accused his opponents, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), Curtis Sliwa (R), and Mayor Eric Adams (D) of stoking so-called “Islamophobia” and claimed his family were victims of anti-Muslim bias following the horrific terror attacks that shook the nation and the world.<\/p>\n

“In an era of ever-diminishing bipartisanship, it seems that Islamophobia has emerged as one of the few areas of agreement,” he said.<\/p>\n

“I want to speak to the memory of my aunt, who stopped taking the subway after September 11th because she did not feel safe in her hijab,” Mamdani added:<\/p>\n

“Over these last few days, these lessons have become the closing messages of Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa and Eric Adams. Yesterday, Andrew Cuomo laughed and agreed when a radio host said that I would cheer another 9\/11,” he stated.<\/p>\n

In a social media post on Saturday, Vice President JD Vance wrote, “According to Zohran the real victim of 9\/11 was his auntie who got some (allegedly) bad looks.”<\/p>\n

On September 11 of this year, President Donald Trump honored the memory of the 2,977 terror victims who died at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and in Pennsylvania on that day 24 years ago, Breitbart News reported.<\/p>\n

Mamdani recently sparked outrage for posting photos of himself smiling beside Imam Siraj Wahhaj, who is an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, Breitbart News reported Sunday.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
