Members of the MAGA movement have warned that America could face another attack like 9/11 after Zohran Mamdani won New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary.
Laura Loomer, a far-right activist, wrote on X, formerly Twitter: “Zohran Mamdani hasn’t even been a U.S. citizen for 10 years. He is literally supported by terrorists. NYC is about to see 9/11 2.0.”
Conservative commentator Charlie Kirk also wrote on X: “24 years ago a group of Muslims killed 2,753 people on 9/11. Now a Muslim Socialist is on pace to run New York City.”
There is no evidence to support these claims, which critics have called Islamophobic.
Mamdani, a 33-year-old Democratic socialist, declared victory on Tuesday night after former governor Andrew Cuomo conceded the race. Mamdani took a commanding position just hours after the polls closed, though the race’s ultimate outcome will still be decided by a ranked choice count.
