Will & Grace's Debra Messing blasted for 'racist' post about Zohran Mamdani
"However, not everyone is excited about his leadership of NYC. Messing, who came to fame in LGBTQ+ sitcom, Will & Grace, has not enjoyed Mamdani's rise in the polls. Messing's anti-Mamdani posts have attracted a lot of attention, with one observer noting on Monday (3 November) prior to the election, that the actress had posted on her Instagram stories 91 times in 24 hours. "Not an exaggeration. I think Zohran has actually broken her brain," user @cee_ryan added."
"Mamdani is the city's youngest mayor since 1892, as well as its first Muslim mayor. In his victory speech, Mamdani pledged to protect trans people in the city, building on his campaign promises as well as his pro-LGBTQ+ record. Among the posts that Messing, who is Jewish and an advocate of Israel, had shared was one listing "things we don't see Jews doing" which included "Flying planes into buildings," "Trying to dominate the world," and "Suicide bombing.""
Zohran Mamdani, 34, won the New York City mayoralty with more than 50% of the vote, becoming the city's youngest mayor since 1892 and its first Muslim mayor. In his victory speech Mamdani pledged to protect trans people and emphasized his pro-LGBTQ+ record. Debra Messing posted aggressively about Mamdani on Instagram, sharing dozens of stories in 24 hours and resharing memes and posts that labelled him a jihadist and attacked Jewish voters who supported him. Some observers mocked Messing’s posting frequency, while others condemned the content as racist or inflammatory, prompting broad social-media backlash.
