Zohran Mamdani’s stunning performance in the Democratic mayoral primary on Tuesday amounted to a watershed moment for Muslim New Yorkers, who could see one of their own lead City Hall for the first time should he succeed in the general election in November.

Middle eastern dollars yielding big results.
Well, if crashing into skyscrapers won’t do the trick, get elected by the useful idiots.
This does not bode well for NYC, and by extension the state and our nation. We do not want to see the city follow the trajectory of Londonistan or we will see true cultural, religious, and legal conflicts, and potentially violent ones.
War with Islam (and now New York)...not if, but when.
Hahahahaha
It will be hard to top that one.
Many Jewish people despise Zionists, so voting for a Muslim makes sense to them.
Will cause NY Jews to wake up and vote Republican?
New Yorkistan.
Islam is not a religion. It should be banned from all Western countries. Its adherents should be denied entry to Western countries. Any US converts should be put on a watch list. Islam is an evil cult bent on destroying everything else.
Zohran Mamdani’s Success Is Especially Meaningful for Maduro loving New Yorkers.
Take a close look at life in Venezuela, cuz that’s what you voted for.
Are they doing this to get a swipe at Trump ? LOl
