"Well, he campaigned this week with a guy who was an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and served as a character witness for Omar Abdelrahman, the terrorist who organized it. So Sarah Palin used to say, [Barack] Obama palled around the terrorists, which was bulls**t. I just don't know if this is a great look for the party, he said."
"I'm talking about what Cuomo's doing, suggesting that Mamdani couldn't be a leader in a terror situation if he were mayor of New York,"
"He did say it, well, but Cuomo was pretty clear. I thought he talked about that in a way that I thought was was ugly,"
Bill Maher confronted CNN commentator Kate Bedingfield over attacks on New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani during a Real Time segment. Maher accused Mamdani of campaigning with Imam Siraj Wahhaj, described as an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and a character witness for Omar Abdelrahman. Bedingfield criticized Andrew Cuomo’s rhetoric about Mamdani’s ability to lead in a terror situation and called Cuomo’s framing ugly. Maher also raised concerns about Mamdani’s dual citizenship and referenced Uganda’s anti-LGBTQ laws while questioning Mamdani’s mainstream credentials amid the mayoral race polling.
