Pro-Andrew Cuomo super PAC depicts Zohran Mamdani in front of Twin Towers attack in late ad
Hmm... Mamdani has the support of the guy who said something nasty about 9/11.
On the other hand Cuomo has the support of the guy who has insulted the memory of every victim and survivor of 9/11 more times than we can count.
Tough choice.
Cuomo has the support of the guy who, less than a full day after the attack, was in an interview gloating about how he was so happy that he had the tallest building in Manhattan now.
One candidate is enthusiastic, smiles and is cognitive and aware of actual issues and the priorities that go into being a mayor of such a huge and influential city and has been on his feet every day and night meeting and talking to residents.
The other looks and talks like a stereotypical villain, is reclusive, always dour and angry and confused sounding, seems unsure of even his own surroundings and can't do anything but spout negativity and scorn towards anyone and everyone else, and whenever backed into a corner starts screaming about race and ethnicity like some kind of holy-water charm against accountability and logic. And has Donald Trump's backing, as well as Trump's history with sexual scandal.
And of course the third option is a crazy cat guy who just wants to talk about the subway every chance he gets. I kinda like him though and hope he stays around in some unofficial capacity like, I would love to see him learn ASL and become Mamdani's official translator for press events.
“His parents own a mansion in Uganda, he spent a lot of time there,” Cuomo said during an interview on Fox Business. “He just doesn’t understand the New York culture, the New York values, what 9/11 meant, what entrepreneurial growth means, what opportunity means, why people came here.”
Maybe I’m a dog, cause that whistle loud.
I was ABOUT to Vote for Mamdani until I found out he lived in a MANSION in UGANDA INSTEAD Of a Mansion in New York like Cuomo!
@danc4498 @return2ozma https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx005vdgg5yo ooh Farage tried that same one here. Nice.
so Mamdani should join the mafia?
How does that message make sense in any framework besides racism?
The stated idea is that because Mamdani hates Israel, he is therefore in favor of Hamas, and therefore global islamist terrorism. It's a major stretch but people like my parents have been fed a nonstop stream of propaganda leading to shit like this since 9/11 happened.
Mamdani hates Israel
As proven by his refusal to commit to fucking traveling there right away as seemed to be a requirement for New York mayoral candidates... in the most absurd debate I've ever watched.

Hey, it worked for Trump. Not in New York, though...
Didn’t Donald celebrate after 9/11 because his was now the tallest building in Manhattan?
Yes, on a call to Howard Stern's show
And it wasn’t even true.
Not much that comes from his mouth is. The useless kiddie fiddling paedo couldn't tell the truth if it was on a cue card in front of him.
Is he seriously doing the Family Guy 9/11 meme?
This is a great interview with Mamdani if you haven't had a chance to see him live- Jon Stewart: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2_cRrKScvE
Do the same pic but with trump, and the towers are two little girls.
What I know of him, he's been very outspokenly pro-American and anti-violence, but he'll never back down from siding with someone just because they're Muslim.
That doesn't matter to the fascists though, he'll be put with "Pro Islam == Pro Terrorism" regardless. It's pure racism, and they will always find some utterance of his and twist it to fit their agenda.
very outspokenly pro-American
This might be his worst quality actually
The Fascists? Obviously they're racist
How about the Democrats? Every goddamn interview they're like "hey, so we saw you with a brown person who looked kinda angry earlier, would you like to disavow claims that you're planning another 9/11?"
Reminds me of post 9/11 America. Anti Muslim hate and hate crimes became normal and celebrated. Americans sang koombayah about how united they were in their hate for brown people. Anyone who spoke out got cancelled, and anyone who defended muslims was called a terrorist
Oh look, fascism was here all along.
How weird. And desperate. And pathetic.
But this is the age of crazy bullshit.
True
well that's not racist at all /s
When they can win without being gross, they do so.
When they have to dogwhistle, they do so.
When they are definitely going to get their ass kicked, This Shit happens.
When they lose, they'll cheat.
If they get caught, they'll get violent.
I say that like a grim potential, but honestly I think NYC might be ready for them
Last year, Mamdani claimed to be 33 years old. Now he claims to be 34. Which is it Zohran???
You can shorten it to a month. His birthday was on the 24th
Better get your story straight.
