"Where were you when they sent killers here in New York City? You were crying for your aunt because she has stopped using the subway for simply - in an illusionist statement you made, saying she didn't feel safe, for wearing a hijab. Really? I stopped using subways because of the would-be assassins being sent to beautiful New York City by the Islamic Republic."
"Bari and her people have a clear ax to grind with him, but that It's not just Zohran. It's really hard now to get people to come on CBS."
Zohran Mamdani withdrew from a scheduled CBS Sunday Morning interview with Robert Costa. Mamdani had been hesitant about the appearance due to critical coverage from Bari Weiss's Free Press outlet. The situation escalated when Mamdani issued a statement condemning military operations, prompting CBS News contributor Masih Alinejad to publicly challenge him on air, questioning his priorities and contrasting his concerns about hijab-wearing safety with her own experience as a target of assassination attempts by the Islamic Republic. Weiss subsequently retweeted Alinejad's video with a fire emoji, which sources identified as the decisive factor in Mamdani's decision to cancel. A former CBS producer noted that securing guest appearances has become increasingly difficult across the network.
