Mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani flashed a beaming smile in a cringeworthy photo with a top Ugandan official who pushed harsh anti-LGBT policies — that included life imprisonment for gay people.
Mamdani met with Rebecca Kadaga in July during a break from the campaign trail — after winning the Democratic primary — that included a lavish celebration of his recent nuptials at a secluded Ugandan compound owned by his family.
“Delighted to meet with Zohran Mamdhani (sic), incoming Mayor of New York City. Good luck in the next phase of elections,” Kadaga said in a caption of a photo of her with a grinning Mamdani.
“Here with Zohran Mamdhani and Prof Mamdhani as Zohran returns to New York after his traditional wedding in Kampala,” she gushed in another photo of her, Mamdani and his father, Columbia University professor Mahmood Mamdani.
The Mamdani campaign was left scrambling Sunday as photos of the meeting re-emerged, as a spokesperson claimed the democratic socialist candidate was “unaware” of Kadaga’s widely reported status as an anti-gay crusader.
In 2012, then-Speaker Kadaga infamously said she was passing a draconian law imposing severe penalties against practicing homosexuals as a “Christmas gift” for supporters of the measure.
“Ugandans want that law as a Christmas gift. They have asked for it and we’ll give them that gift,” Kadaga said then.
Then-President Barack Obama called the legislation “odious.”
Kadaha has been the first deputy prime minister since 2021, following a 10-year stint as the powerful parliament speaker.
In 2024, the Ugandan government passed a law that further criminalizes LGBT people.

Do you really think it matters to the left in NY-anywhere?

Well, whaddya expect? Zohran is a shariaist muslim.
He may not talk bad about homos right now, because he wants their votes, but just wait until he gets elected... They will be wishing that they had Kadaga to merely jail them, compared to what Mamdani will want to do to them.
And the problem is?
Ive changed my mind. I hope he cleans up NYC.
Second look at Mamdani?
“life imprisonment for gay people”
They say that like it’s a bad thing.
Smart homosexuals are going to be fleeing New York before Sharia law gets them a flogging or worse.
Uhhhhhh...yyyeahhh. But free bus rides.
New York may yet be saved by an odd and improbable coalition of gays, Jews, Republicans, and businessmen, from billionaires to bodega owners.
