VP Vance And NYC Mayoral Candidate Mamdani Clash Over "Aunt Didn't Feel Safe In Hijab" Claim | 4K

NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani called US Vice President JD Vance's comment about his aunt's fear inappropriate and a "cheap joke". “This is all the Republican Party has to offer,” Mamdani said, “Cheap jokes about Islamophobia so as to not have to recognize what people are living through, attempts to pit peoples’ humanity against each other.” In a speech given in front of the Islamic Cultural Center of The Bronx, Mamdani held back tears as he recalled his aunt's fear of post-September 11 Islamaphobia. “I want to speak to the memory of my aunt,” Mamdani said, holding back tears, “who stopped taking the subway after September 11 because she did not feel safe in her hijab.” "According to Zohran, the real victim of 9/11 was his auntie who got some (allegedly) bad looks," Vance responded to Mamdani's remarks in a post to X. /11n18oc_world n18oc_crux
