Mamdani Retracts 9/11 Account Following Disputed Claim About His Aunt in Hijab !

Marxist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani is facing mounting scrutiny after being caught fabricating details about a supposed family member’s experience with Islamophobia following the September 11 attacks —

and then changing his story once the lie was exposed.

Mamdani, a self-described “democratic socialist” and close ally of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), told a tearful story during a campaign event last Friday outside the Islamic Cultural Center in the Bronx, claiming that his “aunt” was so traumatized by post-9/11 bigotry that she stopped taking the subway altogether.

“I want to speak to the memory of my aunt, who stopped taking the subway after September 11th because she did not feel safe in her hijab,” Mamdani said, choking up on camera.
