The guy would have been 10 years old when 9/11 happened. What is this even trying to say, other than “all Muslims are terrorists”?

ShaggySnacksAndrew Cuomo supporters really showing that they belong with the Republicans.
cabbageIf people think Mamda appearing with a podcast idiot is bad, wait till they hear that Andrew Cuomo has appeared at every Andre Cuomo appearance…
Last year, Mamdani claimed to be 33 years old. Now he claims to be 34. Which is it Zohran???
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.

SeductiveTortoiseDidn’t Donald celebrate after 9/11 because his was now the tallest building in Manhattan?
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!
We’re way past dog whistles in the USA.
But you can’t use a fog horn on a dog. They are way too loud.
What??
*cups one ear with a hand * /s
Flic@danc4498 @return2ozma bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx005v ooh Farage tried that same one here. Nice.
So are they trying to show that Mamdani was in his teens when 911 happened? If so, then he should be in a leadership position, because typically, throughout American history, the futures of the young haven’t been determined by people who should have died a decade ago.
It sounds like he’s a contemporary to me, but what really interests me is that he promotes ideas and programs that seem to exclusively help, real, actual people that live, work, and breathe in his city, regardless of their social standing, or the number or properties they own. Almost like he embodies the the spirit of large amounts of the Constitution and declaration of Independence.
pelespiritThis 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.
DarkFutureReminds 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
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.
theneverfoxThe 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?”
1985MustangCobraWhen 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

But this is the age of crazy bullshit.
Lol, Hasan catching strays.
Hey Cuomo, dont think you ought to be pointing fingers at who others associate with…
I think they really made a miscalculation on the Hasan attack angle.
For one, I think most New Yorkers have no fucking clue who he is, or what the connection to Mamdani even is. Nor do they care.
Second, I think many New Yorkers might actually agree with the sentiment. There are voters who were born years after 9/11 and have watched this country operate for two decades now. Most of them are too savvy to have the intended kneejerk reaction when they hear 9/11.
This type of ad is meant to stir up the racism. Basically, remind the boomers to vote with their racism, not their brains.
I haven’t seen the ad, but I assume it is not depicting him as his 10 year-old self, at the time of 9/11.
The obvious response is running ads with Cuomo + Epstein, right? I don’t even know if that’s a thing, but it wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if Cuomo had ties to that circle.
