Rep. Stefanik Links Brooklyn Swastikas to Mamdani Win
""The day after NYC elects a pro-Hamas Antisemite for Mayor, Nazi swastikas are found painted on the walls of Magen David Yeshiva in Brooklyn," Stefanik, who is weighing a run for New York governor, wrote Wednesday morning on X. "This is reprehensible and unacceptable and should serve as a wake-up call that Mamdani is ushering in the pro-terrorist antisemitic takeover of NYC aided and abetted by the Worst Governor in America @KathyHochul.""
""The incident is under investigation by the NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force, according to Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y. "Brooklyn's Jewish community wakes up to two swastikas at Magen David Yeshiva in Gravesend," she wrote on X in a post shared by Stefanik above. "While @NYPDHateCrimes investigates, the Mayor-elect must unequivocally condemn this hateful graffiti...Time to represent and protect ALL New Yorkers.""
Red swastikas were discovered on pillars and a window at Magen David Yeshiva in Brooklyn, and security staff called 911. The NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force has opened an investigation. Republican leaders Elise Stefanik and Rep. Nicole Malliotakis publicly condemned the graffiti, linked the incident to the political climate following Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani's victory, and urged an unequivocal denunciation. Stefanik accused Mamdani and Governor Kathy Hochul of enabling antisemitism, while Malliotakis emphasized the need to represent and protect all New Yorkers. Community activists warned of normalization of antisemitism and real consequences for the city's Jewish population.
