After bombing at the second New York City mayoral debate, Zohran Mamdani has a new story to tell. His auntie is the real victim of the 9/11 attacks. It’s not about the thousands who died a brutal death that day. No, it’s about his auntie, who didn’t feel safe wearing a hijab on the subway after the attacks because people looked at her the wrong way.

The commie glow is fading, so Mamdani’s trying something new. Pity politics. The socialist candidate is now trying to guilt-trip you. According to him, America made his people the enemy. Funny, I thought it was terrorists who did that on their own.

Three thousand dead. And he’s talking about side-eyes.

That’s right. The man running for office in New York wants you to believe that the real lesson of 9/11 is how uncomfortable his aunt felt.

I’m sorry, but spare me.

Nearly three thousand Americans were burned alive, crushed, or forced to jump out of windows. Families waited days to hear if their loved ones made it home. Children grew up without parents. And Zohran Mamdani thinks the takeaway is that his aunt got side-eyed on the 6 train.

Maybe that sounds harsh. But I’m tired of politicians rewriting tragedy to make themselves the victims.

There was one big thing missing from Zohran Mamdani’s emotional remarks about 9/11:

Any mention of the VICTIMS of the worst terror attack on U.S. soil.

After the backlash from his auntie remarks, Mamdani didn’t back down. He went on MSNBC to accuse both parties, especially Republicans, of cruelty toward Muslims, calling their agenda one of punishment and hate.

“I think Islamophobia is something that is endemic to politics across this country,” Mamdani said. “And we have seen it normalize. We have seen it accepted. And it has come to a point where to speak up about it is seen as if you are making it into an issue, whereas in fact you are naming that which already exists. And so much of this is driven from an unwillingness to recognize that Muslims belong here in the city.” – Mediaite

He also took aim at Andrew Cuomo again, then dragged Donald Trump into it, claiming Republicans under Trump are motivated by cruelty.

This, from the same Trump who made America energy independent, rebuilt the military, and didn’t start a single new war. Mamdani wants voters to believe that strength is hate and that national security is bigotry.

This socialist snake oil salesman is trying to bottle guilt and sell it to New Yorkers. And why not? It’s worked before. Black Lives Matter, the trans community, and every other movement that shames Americans into submission instead of debate.

But Here’s the Truth

For years, both parties, yes, especially Republicans, have been scared to speak plainly. They bend over backward to look inclusive instead of standing firm.

Remember 2017? Trump’s travel ban was meant to tighten vetting, but GOP leaders panicked over the optics. McCain, Graham, and Sasse all apologized for the tone.

Even the Pentagon watered it down. Under both parties, training materials stopped using the term Islamic extremism. They replaced it with violent extremism, not for accuracy but for comfort.

After 9/11, President George W. Bush stood in a Washington, D.C., mosque and said, “Islam is peace.” He wanted the country to know that Muslims weren’t the enemy, that America’s fight was with terrorists, not with a faith. Nearly twenty-five years later, Zohran Mamdani is standing on the same soil insisting that America hates his people.

The Man Who Wants to Lead New York Has Forgotten Who It Lost

Here’s what Mamdani doesn’t get. America isn’t the villain in his story, and New York doesn’t owe him a redemption arc. The city he wants to lead is the same one that watched its skyline collapse. It’s the same one that buried police, firefighters, and ordinary people who never made it home. And now he wants to lecture those same New Yorkers about who the real victims were? He must think we’re all fools.

His aunt felt unsafe after 9/11? Millions of New Yorkers still live with the sound of sirens in their heads. They still look at the sky every September and remember the smell of smoke. They don’t get to turn that pain into campaign messaging.

Preaching Victimhood While Standing With the Real Extremists

Mamdani says Americans made his people the enemy, but look who he’s calling his friends.

Just days after that emotional debate moment about his “auntie,” Mamdani posed for smiling photos with Imam Siraj Wahhaj, an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and a man who once called for jihad in New York City. This isn’t guilt by association. This is a willful alliance.

You don’t get to lecture New Yorkers about Islamophobia while standing arm-in-arm with someone tied to a terrorist plot against the same city. Wahhaj testified on behalf of the blind sheikh who planned the ’93 attack. He’s preached about flooding America with Muslims and prayed for an Islamic army. That’s not misunderstood faith, that’s radicalism.

And Mamdani knew exactly who he was posing with.

He isn’t interested in unity or healing. He’s interested in power. Guilt is his campaign currency, and New Yorkers are the target.
