CHERYL CASONE (GUEST ANCHOR): I was here. Well, I wasn't living here, but I was here a month after the attacks. And it's just all — you know, if you lived through that time, and you experienced it, you remember how horrific it was.

And he just — The Wall Street Journal's editorial board says "Globalizing the intifada in Mamdani's New York," and they talk about the current situation. But this ties back to why the 9/11 families don't want him there. Because they don't feel supported by someone who seems, you know, if it was 25 years ago, he'd be probably supporting the attackers on the World Trade Centers. I mean, that's my opinion but, you know.

Fox's deranged reaction to NYC Mayor Mamdani's affordable housing proposal

Fox personalities side with negligent landlords and rant about “wealth confiscation” and “mass killing”

Written by Zachary Pleat

Published 05/29/26

After New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani unveiled his plans to make affordable housing more available in the city, Fox News personalities and guests fixated on the plan’s efforts combating negligent landlords. They declared that enforcement against negligent landlords amounted to “public theft,” said it was a “throwback to Stalin,” and ranted that legal action to turn over properties from them to more responsible stewards will lead to “mass killing” and similar atrocities.

AINSLEY EARHARDT (CO-HOST): Well, we interviewed a police officer yesterday and he said all we want to hear is you have our backs. That's what leadership needs to tell us, we have your backs. We're out there putting our lives on the line to keep our communities safe. Just have our back. What if you worked for someone who never had your back? Would you stay on the job that long? No, you wouldn't. And that's what is happening in New York. Police officers are leaving in droves. They're going down to Florida where they can retire there, where they're supported and they can get a bonus if they join some of the departments in Florida. So they're leaving because they don't feel supported we're going to get to a point - New York City back to the place where we were before.

LAWRENCE JONES (CO-HOST): That's it, Game of Thrones where everyone is just robbing everyone, taking their purse. I'm just telling you this, it start's with this, it starts with the snowball comparison, and it's just going to expand. So, if you don't nip it in the bud right now, it's just going to spiral. And it looks like this mayor, as you said, just wants to smile.

AN 11 25

Ronald Reagan Republican and GOP strategist Frank Luntz says the word “capitalism” has become a dirty word that Republicans must avoid if they want to win election in the aftermath of Zohran Mamdani.

With communication strategist Luntz, winning elections is primarily about messaging, and the word ”capitalism” is no longer a winning message as billionaire “capitalists” accrue most of the wealth and leave Americans worrying about their rent and food pantries. Just recently, the Top 10 U.S. billionaires’ collective wealth grew by nearly $700 billion and analysts warned government policies are driving inequality to new heights.

“Is it fair that some people's children will be born billionaires without having to work a day in their life, while others will work two or three jobs just to put food on their table and a roof over their heads,” Luntz asked CNN anchor Michale Smerconish. “Second, is it fair that some schools have all the technology, all the resources, and others can't even afford books or chalk?”

“Why do I ask that? Because you can see it. You can visualize it,” said Luntz, who correctly predicted Tuesday’s off-year elections would “go badly” for the Republican Party. “And third, does everyone … who works hard and plays by the rules — shouldn’t they have a genuine shot at the American dream? These are the questions that you ask at the beginning to bring audiences over to you. And without asking those questions, you're cutting people out.”

“[Democratic socialist Sen.] Bernie Sanders is on Line 2 for you because he's finding this pretty convincing,” Smerconish responded, and then asked Luntz if the U.S. would “be properly cast as a democratic socialist nation” by 2050.

“It’s already happening,” said Luntz. “I work with young people all across the country. Under age 30, they prefer socialism to capitalism already. The 30s, they are about dead even. It's only when you get to be older 40 that you become more supportive [of capitalism].”

“We should be calling it ‘economic freedom,’ not capitalism, because capitalism is about CEOs,” Luntz added. “It's about billionaires, and it's about Wall Street. Economic freedom is about Main Street, about the workforce and about the opportunities for the future. And I want to give you one bit of language that whoever wins this wins the entire debate, whether it's capitalism or socialism.”

Whether or not they vote that way, Luntz advised Republicans to sell America as “a place for new ideas, better solutions and where good people thrive if we want to move forward as a country … and no one is left behind.”

“Whoever controls that language wins the debate,” he said.

“I think AOC, Mamdani and Bernie are all going to be clamoring for your services after the first part of our exchange,” said Smerconish — but Luntz jettisoned any notion that he stood behind the policies of the three politicians.

“They won’t get it,” Luntz said.

November 5, 2025, edition of Newsmax's Finnerty

ROB FINNERTY (HOST): Republicans did not win last night, but Democrats really didn't win either. Democrat socialists had their biggest night ever last night after a communist was elected mayor of New York City, the Democrat Socialist Party of America. Ilhan Omar tweeting last night praise be to Allah in Arabic because that's a normal thing for a United States congresswoman to do, isn't it? Tweet something out in Arabic. Tweet in the language of the country that you immigrated from, not the country that you immigrated to, a country that's so amazing that it made you a member of Congress and you're tweeting in a foreign language.

And after eight years of Bill de Blasio and four of Eric Adams, the people of New York City just elected the most radical politician in American history, right up there with Jefferson Davis. He was the president of the Confederacy during the Civil War.

And if you've ever been to New York City — maybe you haven't, but if you have been to New York City, hold on to those memories, because the city will never be the same again. Which is exactly what Zohran Mamdani wants to happen. Zohran never lied to us from the very beginning. He told us who he was — a man who spends his free time with terrorists. Remember this little number right here? The guy in the white, an unindicted coconspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. That photo was taken 19 days ago. Zohran never lied to us. And Zohran told us what he wanted to do to New York City and to America.

AN 11 25

Look, Zohran Mamdani is not the future of the Democratic Party.

I know this is true, because the same was said of Eric Adams. New York City’s outgoing mayor did not live up to his billing. Its incoming mayor (presumably) is almost certainly not going to live up to his. The reason isn’t because Mamdani will become as corrupt as Adams became (though who knows?). The reason is that New York is New York.

Yes, it’s the largest urban center in the country. Yes, its influence cannot be overstated. But what’s good, or bad, for New York isn’t necessarily what’s good, or bad, for America. It may no longer be entirely true that all politics is local, but most of politics still is.

Once you accept the truth of this, all other considerations of Mamdani and the rest of the Democratic Party seem rather dull, as he becomes just another politician in a constellation of politicians who figured out how to appeal to a winning majority in their respective constituencies.

Once you accept that a city isn’t a metaphor for a country, or for a national party, the talk about how he’s dividing Democrats looks kinda stupid. Yes, he calls himself a democratic socialist. So what? Is that going to work in a place like Virginia? Maybe, but probably not. If it did, someone would have tried it. Since no one has, there’s your answer.

IFrame Content

Think of it this way. Donald Trump is from New York. His business is based there. He represents the city’s elites. But he’s never won there. Three straight campaigns made no difference. Is anyone going to seriously suggest that, in this context, as New York goes, so goes the country (or so goes the GOP)? No, because that would be stupid.

Yet somehow, seemingly no one thinks how stupid it is to ask if Mamdani is the future of the Democrats, because only the Democrats, never the Republicans, are subjected to that kind of questioning. The reason for this is rooted in the Democratic Party itself, among certain elites who want to prevent it from becoming a fully realized people’s party. And they do this, foremost, by accepting as true the premise of the lies told about the Democrats by Trump and the Republicans.

What lies? First, remember that the number of actual democratic socialists in the Democratic Party (I’m talking about people who choose to call themselves by that name) is vanishingly small. Only two have any kind of national profile. (They are US Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont and New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Sanders doesn’t really count. He’s technically an independent.)

This stone-cold fact means nothing to Donald Trump. All Democrats, all liberals, all progressives, all leftists, and all socialists, democratic and otherwise, are the name. They are radical Marxist anarchist communists or whatever word salad pops into his soupy brain. There are no enemies to his right. There is nothing but enemies to his left. Does he respect his enemies enough to speak truthfully about them?

No, he lies.

His lies are what certain elites inside the Democratic Party are paying the most attention to. They are not celebrating Mamdani’s success. They are not defending him on the merits. They are not standing on the truth. They are not even standing in solidarity. What they are most focused on is the lies Donald Trump tells, which are magnified by the right-wing media complex, which are echoed by the press corps.

And what they see is either a fight they believe can’t be won or an opportunity to shiv a competing faction within the Democratic Party. Either way requires accepting as true the lies told about their own people, thus making it seem perfectly reasonable to wonder if winning a major election in America’s biggest city is good for the Democrats.

(The answer: don’t be stupid. Of course, it is.)

That these certain elites would rather surrender to lies than fight them tells us their beef with Mamdani isn’t about ideology. (It’s not about whether “democratic socialism,” or any other school of thought, would be appealing to voters outside New York.) It’s about how Mamdani, but specifically lies about him, complicates messaging efforts in a media landscape already heavily coded in favor of Donald Trump, especially of his view of the Democrats, which is that they’re all communists.

Those who are worried about Mamdani’s impact on the Democrats also take for granted the assertion that voters rejected Kamala Harris on ideological grounds – that her policies were out of touch with voters whose main concern was good-paying jobs and lower inflation.

They are ignoring that Harris actually campaigned on so-called working-class issues and that few voters could hear her working-class messaging over the din of Trump’s lies about her. The crisis facing the Democrats is not one of ideology. It’s a crisis of information. Certain elites are pretending otherwise, because it’s better for them if they do.

Mamdani’s victory is a local matter. That is the lesson for certain elites inside the party. It’s also a lesson for their loudest critics.

Certain progressives, let’s call them, believe that Mamdani’s popularity comes from focusing on class (the cost of living in New York). They believe that by doing so, he transcended “identity politics” to amass a following sizable enough to defeat the Democratic establishment.

This overlooks the fact that the establishment, in the form of the DNC and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, are backing him. But more important is again the question of ideology. Certain elites think his will turn off voters outside New York. Certain progressive think it will turn them on. They believe a class-based ideology is the unifying force that working people across the country have needed. They just can’t see it, they say, because the establishment gets in the way.

But race and class can’t be easily disentangled, not in America. To many Americans, the idea of government of, by and for the people is a perversion of the “natural order.” It flattens the hierarchies of and within race and class. This belief is bone deep in many of us. It prevents lots of white Americans from being in solidarity with nonwhite Americans, even if they face similar grinding hardships.

Most of all, such thinking overlooks the basics. Many New Yorkers struggle to make ends meet. Housing is too high. Healthcare is too expensive. Food is too much. I trust Mamdani when he says he’s a democratic socialist. But I also trust that he’s not fool enough to believe that struggle is the same as class consciousness. He identified the problem. He asked voters to give him the power to try to solve it.

That’s not ideology.

That’s just good politics.

As the NYC mayoral election approaches, right-wing media back GOP push to denaturalize and deport Zohran Mamdani

Written by Gideon Taaffe

Published 11/03/25

In the week before the New York City mayoral election, some in right-wing media have increasingly advocated for frontrunner Zohran Mamdani to be “denaturalized” and “deported.” Following House Republicans' lead, several right-wing media personalities have claimed Mamdani, who moved to the United States at 8 years old, is not a legal citizen and should have his citizenship revoked.

This latest line of attack follows right-wing media’s delegitimization of foreign-born U.S. citizens and immigrants. Right-wing media have specifically targeted Muslim Americans and have deployed a variety of Islamophobic attacks to suggest they are anti-American or are “pro-terror.”

Right-wing media ramp up anti-Muslim attacks on Zohran Mamdani in the final days of the NYC mayoral election

Conservative media have claimed Mamdani “doesn’t give a shit that we were attacked by Muslim terrorists on 9/11,” and would be “cheering” on the attacks if they happened while he was mayor

Written by Gideon Taaffe & Reed McMaster

Published 10/23/25 mma

With less than two weeks until the New York City mayoral election, right-wing media have been lobbing anti-Muslim attacks at New York State Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani, baselessly saying his ideology is not socialism but “radical jihadist sharia supremacism,” accusing him of not giving a “shit that we were attacked by Muslim terrorists on 9/11,” and saying he would be “cheering” on the attacks if they happened while he was mayor.

If elected, Mamdani would be the first Muslim mayor of New York City. He won the Democratic primary with an agenda promising a rent freeze, free buses, universal childcare, and other progressive policies. However, some in right-wing media have continued to focus on Mamdani’s religion and ethnicity as main lines of attack.

For months, right-wing media have lobbed anti-Muslim attacks against Mamdani, who could become New York City’s first Muslim mayor

October 20, 2025, edition of Newsmax's Carl Higbie Frontline

CARL HIGBIE (HOST): Now here's another one. Mamdani. OK, this guy is at it again. I know, right? We got to deal with him here. You're 3000 miles away and probably a worse place -- but campaigning with this imam who turns out this guy -- and people, we've known this for a while. He's got a guy who is linked to the World Trade Center attacks in 93, but he's also got this imam that's like super anti-gay. He's calling him filthy and sick and all this stuff. This is a Democrat?

SAVAGE: I was in a lawsuit many years ago with one of those groups, and it was not very pretty what we found out. I mean, look, I have thought from the beginning, and I certainly don't have the proof, but the earmarks are there, that this Mamdani is a front for the Muslim Brotherhood --

HIGBIE: Could be.

SAVAGE: It's another footstep into America by the Muslim Brotherhood. You face them in Iraq with machine guns or automatic weapons or whatever you had. This guy is going to be much worse than the one who took over London, if this smiling fraud is allowed to win --

HIGBIE: But here's the thing, Michael --

SAVAGE: And he can be stopped.

HIGBIE: You've got Curtis Sliwa, OK, who's a Republican. I'd love him to win. But he gets endorsed by Rudy Giuliani. The problem is you got Cuomo in there. That's like, in a plurality, this guy's going to win, Mamdani.

SAVAGE: There's a good saying that I learned years ago - do you want to be right or do you want to be smart? That's what I try to say online to the supporters of the Sliwa voters. I watched the debate from the beginning to the end I thought Sliwa was great, I thought he did a great job. But he has no management experience. He could never manage a budget of the size of New York. So that leaves us with one choice only, and that is the corrupt old guard Democrat type of machine politician Cuomo. But at least when guys like Cuomo, when his father ran New York, my mother could walk to the corner grocery store, God bless her soul --

HIGBIE: Didn't have to worry.

SAVAGE: At midnight and buy a loaf of bread. We want that old Democrat machine. The Cuomo machine would be safer for women than anyone else in the city, even though he's just a corrupt old Democrat politician.

HIGBIE: Yep.

Fox News intensified its ongoing attacks on Zohran Mamdani on Thursday, as host Jesse Watters delivered a sweeping monologue accusing the popular but controversial Democratic mayoral nominee of being a communist, portraying his supporters as “radicals,” and calling for the return of an anti-communist crusader.

“These are the same dumb Marxist ideas that we’ve been hearing for decades,” Watters declared, “and it’s just destruction. At a certain point, you have to think, democracy is not a suicide pact, right?”

“We’re just not gonna allow a faction of radicals in a great city like this to come in, elect the guy, and have it destroyed,” he said, appearing to suggest some form of action against Mamdani, who is not a communist but a self-described Democratic socialist.

“What kind of democracy is that?” Watters asked, suggesting electoral outcomes he opposes are not true democracy. “It’s not tolerable to do that.”

Describing Mamdani as “Kamala Harris with a beard,” he went on to declare that while America “won the Cold War … Marxism survived, and these teachers at universities got bolder.”

“So you have unchecked immigration, and you have unchecked indoctrination, and you spit them all out into Manhattan, and they vote for a communist who wants to destroy the city, and we’re supposed to sit back and let it happen? I don’t think that’s a very good idea,” Watters declared, appearing to suggest, falsely, that undocumented immigrants and non-citizens are voting.

“I think we have to bring back Joe McCarthy.”

Lefty socialist and mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani’s campaign quietly took in nearly $13,000 in potentially illegal foreign donations — including one from his mother-in-law in Dubai, The Post has learned.

At least 170 of the nearly 54,000 contributions to the leading Democratic candidate’s campaign came from donors with addresses outside the United States, an examination of NYC Campaign Finance Board records found.

Only US citizens or permanent legal residents are allowed to contribute to political campaigns and political action committees under federal, state and city law, and candidates are expected to return any of the illegal donations. Violators who knowingly accept foreign donations could face hefty fines and imprisonment.

But so far, the campaign has failed to return 88 of the foreign donations worth a total of $7,190, records showed.

Mamdani’s campaign has brought in $4 million in private donations, scored another $12.7 million in public matching funds, and with less than a month to go before election day, has nearly $6.1 million in hand.

His campaign issued a statement Saturday saying “we will of course return any donations that are not in compliance with CFB law” after being provided a detailed breakdown of the 88 donations yet to be returned.

A campaign spokesperson, however, declined to clarify why so many foreign donations are still in Mamdani’s war chest.

The foreign donations have sparked criticism.

“Where there’s smoke, there’s fire, so I would be very concerned,” said Republican mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa, upon learning of the foreign money coming into Mamdani’s campaign. “There is probably a lot more in terms of foreign money.”

Two months ago, Sliwa, during an interview with Fox Business, called on the US Department of Justice to investigate his suspicions that Mamdani is being aided by difficult-to-trace “dark money” illegally being funneled into super PACs through foreign nationals.

“It’s very problematic, not just for Zohran Mamdani, but anybody who has these kinds of PACs, because it’s a license to illegally funnel money,” Sliwa told The Post. “And foreign countries know you don’t have to go to war against America. All you gotta do is manipulate the election.”

The Mamdani campaign has given back a paltry $5,608 — including a contribution from Bariah Dardari, the mother of Mamdani’s new bride Rama Duwaji.

Dardari gave $500 in January, listing an address of the hospital in Dubai where she works as a pediatrician, filings showed. The money was reported returned the same day.

Dardari did not return requests for comment.

Most of the foreign donationsstarted coming in June in the lead-up to the Democratic primary, in which Mamdani scored an upset victory over New York City Mayor Eric Adams and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

Tech professionals, doctors, university professors, students and retired teachers made up the bulk of the foreign contributions, with some pledging as little as $1 to the campaign of the Democratic socialist, and as much as $2,100, records showed.

Among the biggest donors was James Furlaud, an environmental scientist at Australia’s University of Tasmania, who pledged $2,100 to the campaign. Furlaud studies the effects of climate change on forests and how it could lead to fires, according to his published academic work. He did not return a request for comment.

Ugur Macit, who lives in the town of Muhlheim am Main in Germany, also donated $250 to the Mamdani campaign in August. Macit is a software engineer who studied computer science at the University of Dusseldorf, according to public records. He could not be reached for comment.

Even though she has no connection to New York City, she felt inspired to support the candidate, Marquardt said.

“It’s the only campaign I’ve seen that’s not trying to win by convincing a group of people to hate another group of people,” she told The Post Wednesday.

Most of the contributions to the socialist’s campaignhave come from outside New York City, city filings revealed last month. The frontrunner took in a total of $1.05 million over the last several weeks — more than double the $507,000 raised by Cuomo.

The city’s Campaign Finance Board declined comment, saying it is in the process of auditing all campaigns this election cycle citywide.

mamdani’s Money Trail: Terror-Linked Donors Bankroll NYC Mayor’s Race

Some of America’s Most Controversial Extremist Organizations Are Backing Mamdani, Starting with the Islamic Circle of North America

October 10, 2025

The New York Post

...

New York State Assembly member and New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani speaks at a Malikah’s Iftar Ramadan event at the Museum of the Moving Image on March 07, 2025 in the Queens Borough of NYC. Mamdani is raking in taxpayer-amplified contributions from dangerous sources: terror-linked Islamists, anti-Israel activists, and campus extremists.

Thanks to New York City’s generous matching-funds program, local taxpayers are bankrolling Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral campaign.

With close to $16 million received and $5 million cash on hand, the political newcomer has far outraised his opponents in private donations, amassing an impressive war chest heading into November’s general election.

It’s a system that’s prone to abuse — and in Mamdani’s case, it means that municipal funds are undoubtedly amplifying voices of bigotry and extremism.

The city’s public-financing system is intended to give little-known candidates who fail to attract corporate or special-interest donors a shot at victory.

But Mamdani is raking in taxpayer-amplified contributions from dangerous sources: terror-linked Islamists, anti-Israel activists and campus extremists.

For every local check written out to a mayoral campaign, the city kicks in up to eight times the amount of the first $250, ensuring that small-dollar contributors disproportionately impact local elections.

It’s a system that’s prone to abuse — and in Mamdani’s case, it means that municipal funds are undoubtedly amplifying voices of bigotry and extremism.

Some of America’s most controversial extremist organizations are backing Mamdani, starting with the Islamic Circle of North America, a Muslim nonprofit that terror experts identify as the North American branch of Jamaat-e-Islami, a violent South Asian Islamist group.

Ashrafuzzaman Khan, the former head of ICNA’s New York chapter, was convicted by a Bangladeshi war crimes tribunal and sentenced to death in absentia for his role in the torture and murder of 18 Bangladeshi intellectuals.

Five ICNA staff members kicked in a total of $1,300 in individual contributions to Mamdani — meaning that, including matching funds, his campaign received $7,700 thanks to ICNA generosity.

The Hamas-aligned Council on American-Islamic Relations boosted a Mamdani-affiliated political action committee with a $100,000 donation, The Post has reported.

On top of that, at least five CAIR officials gave independent small-dollar gifts to the Democratic Socialist’s campaign, helping him scoop up taxpayer funds.

They work for an organization that was listed as an unindicted conspirator in a scheme to finance Hamas — a trial that ended in a 65-year sentence for a CAIR board member.

Other Islamists from outside NYC have contributed to Mamdani’s campaign through his superPAC, New Yorkers for Lower Costs.

The Illinois Muslim Political Action Committee, which gave $10,500 to the PAC, includes as members Ousamma Jamal and Zaher Sahloul.

Altogether, New York academics at hard-left institutions contributed just over $105,000 to Mamdani — or up to $690,000 when boosted by matching funds.

Both have served as presidents of the Mosque Foundation, a suburban Chicago organization with links to Hamas that has funded at least four charities that were subsequently shut down for financing terrorism.

Mamdani, who has refused to condemn calls for violence against Israel and who used this week’s Oct. 7 anniversary to again accuse it of “genocide,” also enjoys financing from professional activists who work to demonize the Jewish state.

Seven paid agitators from Jewish Voice for Peace— widely denounced for its abusive tactics and its ties to Palestinian terrorists — made small-dollar contributions that were matched with city funds.

And a huge sources of Mamdani’s matched campaign cash comes from academics and higher-education administrators employed by schools hat have been embroiled in federal antisemitism probes.

College and university workers have provided more than 2,000 individual donations to the candidate, with the majority coming from local faculty.

Altogether, New York academics at hard-left institutions contributed just over $105,000 to Mamdani — or up to $690,000 when boosted by matching funds.

Staff from Columbia University — where Mamdani’s professor father Mahmood teaches that Israel should not exist as a state and Oct. 7 was merely a “military action” — have donated at least 389 times to his mayoral campaign.

Employees of New York University, which admitted it failed to address campus antisemitism last year after Jewish students filed a blockbuster lawsuit, gave 508 times to Mamdani.

These donors may not organize as an official superPAC, but they function as a powerful special-interest group.

They include scholars and activists who champion radical Marxist, anti-American and intersectional ideologies.

The list of Mamdani donors includes education professionals like Lila Abu-Lughod, a professor at Columbia who believes gender violence is a matter of cultural relativism and blames Islamist honor killings on Western colonialism.

RetiredColumbia prof Rashid Khalidi, another Mamdani supporter, was a press officer for the Palestine Liberation Organization during its heyday as a designated terrorist group.

Still, Mamdani’s supporters reject accusations that their pick for mayor is an extremist.

Zohran Mamdani represents a marriage between Islamism and hard-left politics that should concern all New Yorkers.

Vox recently gushed over Mamdani’s “not-so-radical agenda,” depicting the candidate as a plucky neighborhood activist and champion of the working class.

Even Jewish media outlets like the Forward have claimed that suspicions of his antisemitism were merely “bad faith smears.”

Follow the money, though, and Mamdani’s alliances begin to crystallize.

Zohran Mamdani represents a marriage between Islamism and hard-left politics that should concern all New Yorkers.

Extremists are financing his road to Gracie Mansion — and come November, we may send a mouthpiece for these destructive interests to City Hall.

Opinion

I saw Columbia craziness up close — and New York City’s headed that way if Zohran Mamdani becomes mayor

By

Ben Appel

Published July 10, 2025,

89 Comments

I enrolled in Columbia University’s undergraduate school for nontraditional students, the School of General Studies, in 2017 as a 33-year-old progressive Democrat. By the time I graduated in May 2020, my entire worldview had been upended.

What I witnessed on campus was not education but indoctrination — a sweeping cultural revolution fueled by anti-Americanism, antisemitism and revolutionary zealotry.

It’s easy to write off the footage we see online — masked protesters storming libraries, chanting for an intifada and vandalizing campus property — as fringe behavior. But to me, someone who lived inside Columbia’s ecosystem for years, it’s not shocking at all.

These are not isolated eruptions. They’re the product of an ideology deeply embedded in the university’s intellectual and administrative infrastructure.

And now that same ideology is being packaged into a mayoral campaign.

Its champion is Zohran Mamdani. If he wins, New York City will become an extension of Columbia’s campus.

What I encountered during my years at Columbia was not a battle of ideas but a dismantling of the very idea of America.

The buzzword on campus was “decolonization” — of land, of curriculum, of language, of thought.

Professors and students didn’t just challenge Western institutions; they sought to delegitimize them entirely.

They referred to North and Central America as “Turtle Island,” rejected Western science’s and liberal democracy’s legitimacy and portrayed capitalism as a force no different from slavery or apartheid.

In seminars, it was taken for granted that police are tools of oppression, Israel is a “settler-colonial” state and the United States is irredeemably imperialist.

These weren’t debates. They were dogmas.

A banner during last year’s Columbia encampments says it all.Ben Appel

Mahmood Mamdani, a prominent professor at Columbia and a major figure in postcolonial theory, has played a significant role in this transformation.

Postcolonial theory, like all critical theories, treats the university not as a place to seek truth but as a battleground to destabilize what we’ve long considered true.

The goal is to undermine students’ confidence in Western values and replace them with a blend of Marxism, Islamism and anti-Zionism.

6

Author Ben Appel’s worldview changed thanks to his Columbia experience.Bernadette Roe

Prof. Mamdani led teach-ins at last year’s anti-Israel encampments on Columbia’s campus. In his writings and his speeches, he consistently frames America as the root of all evil.

Some might argue it’s unfair to link Zohran’s candidacy to his father’s academic legacy. But the connection is explicit.

His mother, filmmaker Mira Nair, told The New York Times just last month: “The world [Mahmood and I] live in, and what we write and film and think about, is the world that Zohran has very much absorbed.”

This is not guilt by association. This is a self-proclaimed ideological inheritance.

6

That inheritance has already shaped Mamdani’s political record.

When he failed to get into Columbia — after falsely stating on his application he’s “African American” — Mamdani chose Bowdoin College in Maine. There, he co-founded the school’s chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine, the same group that today helps organize radical campus actions at Columbia.

SJP is not some benign student club — it’s supported by American Muslims for Palestine, an organization with direct roots in the Islamic Association of Palestine, once Hamas’ main propaganda arm.

The year before Mamdani graduated, The Post exclusively reported, SJP invited to Bowdoin the 9/11 apologist Asad Abukhalil, who has said the 9/11 massacre was “a repercussion of the Cold War, when the United States made its bed . . . with the religious fanatics of the Muslim world.”

On Oct. 7, 2023, the day of Hamas’ massacre of Israeli civilians, Columbia’s SJP chapter blamed the violence not on the terrorists who carried it out but on the Israeli and US governments.

Mamdani’s own organization, the Democratic Socialists of America — whose members celebrated the Oct. 7 bloodbath in Times Square — issued a similarly disgraceful statement.

Mamdani sat in April for a three-hour interview with the Twitch streamer Hasan Piker, who defended Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack and has even stated that “America deserved 9/11.”

This is the company Mamdani keeps. How many times does he need to show New Yorkers who he is before we finally believe him?

6

Mahmood Mamdani participated in the Columbia encampments last year.Ben Appel

Mamdani credited the Marxist revolutionary Frantz Fanon as one of his core intellectual influences in a2019 interview with his alma mater’s student newspaper.

Fanon’s “The Wretched of the Earth” is required reading for all Columbia students. The book’s very first page states that “decolonization is always a violent phenomenon.”

That wasn’t a metaphor. And it isn’t at Columbia.

Here’s the latest on NYC mayoral candidate, Zohran Mamdani

“COLUMBIA WILL BURN 4 THE MARTYRS,” a masked radical graffitied on a bookshelf during a May protest, referring to dead terrorists.

That day, a campus safety officer was injured so badly, he had to be carried out of Butler Library on a gurney.

One Jewish student told me she felt so unsafe on campus that she stopped attending her classes in person. “I know what ‘intifada’ means,” she said.

We all know what it means. It means the murder of two Israeli embassy staffers standing outside DC’s Capital Jewish Museum and the firebombing of a Boulder, Colo., event for Israeli hostages. It means the continued weakening of Western institutions until they crumble.

Yet Mamdani refuses to even condemn the phrase “globalize the intifada.”

6

Some continue to insist what happens on campus stays on campus. But history shows otherwise.

The radicalism that once confined itself to student lounges now shapes local elections, public-school policy and city budgets.

The ideology I encountered at Columbia — anti-police, anti-capitalist, anti-Israel, and proudly anti-American — has found its candidate in Zohran Mamdani. And if he wins, that ideology will be codified into city policy.

Mamdani calls for tax hikes to pay for government-owned grocery stores, fare-free buses and his proposed $65 million investment in sex-trait modification for children and adults. And he doesn’t want less gender pseudoscience in schools — he wants more.

This isn’t about partisanship anymore. The old lines between left and right are increasingly irrelevant. The real division now is between those who still believe in the American project — flawed, yes, but worth defending — and those who want to tear it all down. I’ve seen what the latter looks like up close. I fear it’s coming for City Hall.

89

What do you think? Post a comment.

What New Yorkers need now is a bipartisan coalition of conscience: with anyone who understands what’s at stake.

Zohran Mamdani must be defeated — not with violence but with clarity and courage. America’s greatest city cannot become Columbia writ large.

Zohran Mamdani, a New York City politician, has connections to the Qatari royal family, the Al Thani family, through his mother, filmmaker Mira Nair. Qatari state-funded cultural institutions, run by Sheikha Al-Mayassa bint Hamad Al Thani (the sister of the ruling Emir of Qatar), have financially supported Nair and her film projects since at least 2009. In 2025, Sheikha Al-Mayassa promoted Mamdani's mayoral candidacy on social media.

Key details on the relationship between the Mamdani and Al Thani families:

Emir's sister's support: Sheikha Al-Mayassa bint Hamad Al Thani, the sister of Qatar's current ruling Emir, has provided patronage to Mira Nair's creative works for over a decade.

Mayoral campaign promotion: In 2025, Sheikha Al-Mayassa publicly endorsed Zohran Mamdani's mayoral bid by promoting news of favorable polling on social media and commenting on a video of him with his mother.

Media coverage: Media outlets such as the New York Post and Fox News have highlighted these connections, reporting on Qatar's funding of Nair's films and the alleged close relationship between the families.

Controversy and context: The reports emerged in the context of Mamdani's 2025 mayoral candidacy and his controversial anti-Israel views.

No direct link evidence: While Mamdani's campaign has not commented on whether he received indirect assistance, no publicly available evidence confirms a direct relationship between him and the Qatari government.

As the news cycle enters its third week of “Epstein Files” frenzy, Trump’s Director of National Intelligence pick, Tulsi Gabbard, is throwing a Hail Mary—an obvious and cynical distraction. But a GOP-led Senate Intelligence report from five years ago is more than enough to swat it down.

Disgraced former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn suggested former President Barack Obama should face a "military trial" after Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard accused him of a "treasonous conspiracy" to undermine Donald Trump's presidency.

Over time, what started as a baseless conspiracy on obscure platforms has migrated into the mainstream. It has influenced rhetoric and policy debates, and even reshaped the American political landscape. The foundational belief of many of the QAnon followers is that Trump is a heroic figure fighting the elite pedophile ring.

President Donald Trump is seeking to reunify allies enraged by his administration’s repudiation of MAGA claims about late convicted sex offender and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein by offering up spurious attacks on common and familiar enemies: the media — in this case Rupert Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal — and former President Barack Obama.

Amid the Jeffrey Epstein saga, Rep. James Comer claimed Joe Biden’s alleged autopen use was the “biggest scandal in the history of American politics.”

Senators weighing her nomination for U.S. attorney should revisit her remarks denigrating prosecutors and calling defendants “hostages.”

NYC's Young Republican club cosplays as a deadly political weapon, but may be less ferocious than it appears.

July 10, 2025 edition of Fox News' *The Faulkner Focus

BEN FERGUSON (FOX GUEST): We've got a guy that is like a Marxist-socialist-communist all in one who doesn't want to apologize for being an antisemite. And this is — and I say it over and over again — this is not your parents' Democratic Party.

This is a civil war in the Democratic Party. It is being won by the Marxists, the socialists, and the declared communists. This is a guy who ran on abolishing the New York Police Department, abolishing prisons. He wants to abolish medical bills. He wants to abolish private health insurance. He wants to ban all guns. Just go around the world and see where that's worked out.

He also wants to legalize sex work in New York City. He says he wants safe injection sites that taxpayers would pay for. He says we should have no cash bail. He wants to decriminalize all drug possessions and end sentencing, as he calls it, enhancement. On top of all that, he says if you elect me, I will never cooperate with ICE. I will be a safe haven for illegal immigrants. And this is where the Democratic Party is now.

Now, that's a long list I just gave you. But this is a guy that is saying I'm with the Democratic new party. This is happening, by the way, in LA. This is not an outlier with the mayor there. It's happening in Chicago, Harris, with the mayor there. So you look at the grass roots of the Democratic Party right now. The Democratic Party is dead. This is who they are, and Hakeem Jeffries is now on the outside looking in.

HARRIS FAULKNER (FOX HOST): Look, I'm adding up some of the stuff you said. You talked about the drugs and, you know, legalizing prostitution. Crime and drug addiction, if you get enough of it in the streets and into the bloodstreams of the American people, they'll be easier to control. That —

FERGUSON: Sure.

FAULKNER: — is what I'm watching, Mamdani and those other districts that you are talking about who have mayors — the job that he wants next. That's what it looks like from the outside. This is punishment for the American voters.

After Mamdani won the NYC Democratic mayoral nomination, right-wing media resorted to predictable racist and Islamophobic attacks

Written by Gideon Taaffe, Chloe Simon & Torri Lonergan

Published 07/03/25

After Zohran Mamdani, a Muslim New York State Assembly member, won the Democratic nomination in the New York City mayoral race, right-wing media predictably resorted to racist, Islamophobic, and xenophobic attacks against him.

Right-wing host Mike Crispi called Mamdani a “pig” for eating with his hands, Newsmax host Greg Kelly attacked him over his clothes, saying he should assimilate, and Newsmax host Michael Savage labeled him a “jihadist sympathizer.”

Right-wing media figures also attacked Mamdani for being Muslim, with Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk claiming that Mamdani’s win means Islam gets the “last laugh” for 9/11 and right-wing podcaster Dave Rubin speculating that “of course he’ll be for Sharia law.”

President Donald Trump has threatened to have Mamdani arrested or deported if he interferes with federal immigration enforcement, and Wayne Allyn Root wrote at The Gateway Pundit, “Say it with me, ‘DEPORT MAMDANI!”

Right-wing media’s racist commentary about Mamdani follows a long history of racist, Islamophobic, and xenophobic attacks on Muslim and immigrant politicians including Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).

Trump on Wednesday, in what appeared to be a continuation of his extreme attacks on Zohran Mamdani, vowed to use the powers of the presidency to block the New York City Democratic mayoral nominee. The President did not use Mamdani’s name but did use the same slur he has used against him in recent days.

“As President of the United States,” Trump wrote on Wednesday on his social media website, “I’m not going to let this Communist Lunatic destroy New York. Rest assured, I hold all the levers, and have all the cards. I’ll save New York City, and make it “Hot” and “Great” again, just like I did with the Good Ol’ USA!”

It was unclear if Trump was suggesting he would attempt to block Mamdani from being elected or block his agenda should he become New York City’s mayor.

Trump has previously referred to Mamdani, who is not a communist but a member of the Democratic Party and the Democratic Socialists of America, as a communist.

On Tuesday, Trump threatened to arrest Mamdani if he interfered with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in NYC. He also threatened to deport Mamdani, who is currently serving as an elected New York State assemblyman.

“Well then we’ll have to arrest him,” Trump said when a reporter mentioned Mamdani might block ICE agents in New York City should he win the mayoral election, as The Washington Post reported. “Look, we don’t need a communist in this country, but if we have one, I’m going to be watching over them very carefully on behalf of the nation.”

“Trump’s attack on the mayoral candidate echoed language he has long used to lend credibility to falsehoods,” The New York Times reported:

“A lot of people are saying he’s here illegally,” Trump said of Mamdani. “We’re going to look at everything.”

Mamdani spoke out against Trump’s threats.

“The President of the United States just threatened to have me arrested, stripped of my citizenship, put in a detention camp and deported. Not because I have broken any law but because I will refuse to let ICE terrorize our city,” Mamdani said on Tuesday, The Post also reported.

“His statements don’t just represent an attack on our democracy but an attempt to send a message to every New Yorker who refuses to hide in the shadows: if you speak up, they will come for you. We will not accept this intimidation,” he added.

“He’s a communist,” Trump had told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo in an interview that aired Sunday. “I think it’s very bad for New York. I don’t know that he’s gonna get in. It’s inconceivable … but he’s a Communist, and he’s pure Communist. I think he admits it. I can’t imagine it, but let’s say this: If he does get in, I’m gonna be president, then he’s going to have to do the right thing, but they’re not getting any money. He’s got to do the right thing.”

Mamdani has directly denied being a communist, and likens his use of the term “democratic socialist” to remarks made by the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., as HuffPost reported. He also commented on Trump’s attacks.

“I have already had to start to get used to the fact that the president will talk about how I look, how I sound, where I’m from, who I am,” Mamdani told NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday. “Ultimately, because he wants to distract from what I’m fighting for, and I’m fighting for the very working people that he ran a campaign to empower, that he has since then betrayed.”

The Republican justices just nuked much of federal Medicaid law, in order to spite Planned Parenthood.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth attempted to bully journalists for covering the leaked Iran strikes report.

Perhaps the most dire prediction right-wingers made in the first 15 years of this century was that legalizing marriage between two people of the same sex would end civilization. No less than the pope warned that humankind was in peril because of countries legalizing marriage.

Kenneth Chesebro, an attorney who plotted to use fake electors to overturn the 2020 presidential election on behalf of President Donald Trump, was disbarred in the state of New York this week.

Once it became apparent that New York state Rep. Zohran Mamdani was the presumptive winner of New York City’s mayoral primary, right-wing figures went into full-blown hysterics. But few could top the meltdown from self-proclaimed “proud Islamophobe” Laura Loomer, who claimed that Mamdani will support firebombing synagogues and murdering the rich — including President Trump.

The U.S. appeals court nominee claimed it is “political” to say Biden got the majority of votes and Electoral College votes to become president.

New York City's 2025 Democratic mayoral primary experienced a major upset when, on Tuesday night, June 24, progressive New York State Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani — a self-described "democratic socialist" endorsed by Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vermont) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) — defeated former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and other candidates.

Now the official Democratic nominee, Mamdani enters the general election, where the current mayor, Eric Adams, is seeking reelection as an independent.

During an appearance on Democracy Now posted on June 26, liberal economic Robert Reichdiscussed Mamdani's victory as well as the economic policies of President Donald Trump.

Reich emphasized that Mamdani aggressively ran on a message of economic populism, telling host Amy Goodman, "Shockwaves is a good way of putting it, Amy. The Democratic Party really needs to learn this lesson…. The lesson is very simple: There is a huge anti-establishment wave in America that is the strongest wave in American politics. And a lot of it has to do with the fact that the bottom 60 to 80 percent of Americans have not seen a real wage increase in 45 years…. The people at the top are doing wonderfully well."

During the interview, Reich noted that Trump, in 2024, ran on a message of economic populism.

"Trump fooled the majority of Americans, or at least the plurality, into thinking that he would be their savior," Reich told Goodman.

But Mamdani, Reich argues, is the real deal — unlike Trump.

"This is the one thing that I agree with Donald Trump about: The economy is rigged — but it's rigged against working-class people," Reich told Goodman. "And I think Mamdani understood that. He understood that people have got to want a change, but also, they want affordability. They want an economy that is working for them. And they want new faces. They want younger people. They want a new generation of Democratic leaders.
