Elise Stefanik Brands Zohran Mamdani 'Jihadist' After Debate
"I call Zohran Mamdani a jihadist because he is. Zohran Mamdani is a raging antisemite. Mamdani is the definition of a jihadist as he supports Hamas terrorists which he did as recently as yesterday when he refused to call for Hamas terrorists to put down their arms the same Hamas terrorist group that slaughtered civilians including New Yorkers on October 7, 2023."
"I believe that any future here in New York City is one that we have to make sure that's affordable for all. And as it pertains to Israel and Palestine, that we need to ensure that there is peace, and that is the future that we fight for,"
"I don't really have opinions about the future of Hamas and Israel beyond the question of justice and safety, and the fact that anything has to abide by international law. And that applies to Hamas, that applies to the Israeli military, applies to anyone you could ask me about,"
Rep. Elise Stefanik branded New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani a "jihadist" and a "raging antisemite" following a New York City mayoral debate that included Mamdani, Andrew Cuomo, and Curtis Sliwa. Stefanik accused Mamdani of supporting Hamas terrorists and criticized his refusal to directly call for Hamas to lay down their arms in a recent interview. Stefanik invoked the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack that killed civilians, including New Yorkers, as part of her condemnation. Mamdani emphasized priorities of an affordable future for New York City, peace, justice, and safety, and said actions must abide by international law. Mamdani identifies as a Democratic socialist.
