Cuomo and others have criticized Mamdani for appearing with Hasan Piker, who made 2019 comments that "America deserved 9/11." Mamdani has previously disavowed the comments.
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.
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.
