Mamdani-backed socialist [Islam alam convert] primary winner founded group whose goal is to ‘eradicate' Western civilization [Chevalier]

Mamdani-backed socialist primary winner founded group whose goal is to ‘eradicate' Western civilization. Darializa Avila Chevalier helped launch Columbia University Apartheid Divest, which said it wants to end the West. By Peter D'Abrosca Fox News Published June 25, 2026.

The socialist backed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani who won Tuesday night’s primary election in New York’s 13th Congressional District founded a group in college that called for the total destruction of the West.

Darializa Avila Chevalier, 32, a Democratic nominee for U.S. Congress who made career out of "community organizing," wrote in her biography for an opinion piece in independent news outlet The Electronic Intifada that she "helped launch the boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign Columbia University Ap...Divest."

"We are Westerners fighting for the total eradication of Western civilization," the group said in a now-deleted 2024 Instagram post..

Columbia University has roundly denounced CUAD, and says it is not affiliated in any way with the school.

Avila Chevalier was born in Florida to Dominican immigrants. She converted to Islam in recent years.

Darializa Avila Chevalier’s victory in New York’s 13th district exposes a national paradox: Candidates running on working-class politics are powered by affluent, highly educated voters.

There’s a seeming paradox at the epicenter of the political earthquake that hit New York City on Tuesday night, when a trio of Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and Zohran Mamdani–backed candidates triumphed in congressional primaries across the city. The progressive candidates who claim to represent a working-class revolution won thanks to the votes of the well-educated, credentialed, and affluent, while low-income New Yorkers tended to back the more moderate candidate. The results reflect a nationwide political reality: Across the country, higher education and income increasingly correlate with progressive voting, while working-class voters—including in long-established immigrant communities—opt for more moderate choices.

That pattern was on full display in New York’s 13th Congressional District last night, where Mamdani-backed Darializa Avila Chevalier dominated in higher-income precincts, while five-term Democratic incumbent Adriano Espaillat carried lower-income areas by 40 points. The race, featuring two Dominican American candidates, exposed a growing divide between the district’s long-established immigrant community and its more activist, college-educated heirs. Today, Rafael A. Mangual examines these dynamics, focusing not only on the contest itself but on the district’s particular character—and diagnosing what he sees as a new political framework in America: “The immigrant who built a career on becoming American has given way to the American-born activist who rejects American patriotism in favor of militant Third Worldism.” —The Editors

Darializa Avila Chevalier has narrowly won the Democratic nomination in New York’s 13th Congressional District, and the result is rightly being read as a victory for Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who endorsed her, loaned her his organization, and broke an earlier promise to back her opponent, five-term Democratic incumbent Adriano Espaillat. And in a district this lopsidedly Democratic, winning the party’s nomination is usually tantamount to winning the seat.

Mamdani-Backed Democrat: ‘All Deportations Are Wrong’ — Even for Convicted Murderers & Child Rapists.
Breitbart. 17 Jun 2026 | John Binder.
Darializa Avila Chevalier, the Democrat primary challenger to Rep. Adriano Espaillat (D-NY), is standing behind her position that “all deportation is wrong,” including deportations for illegal aliens convicted of the most heinous crimes like child sexual abuse, murder, domestic abuse, and kidnapping.
