"Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama declared "the enemy is inside the gates" when sharing a post on X that juxtaposed a photo of the September 11, 2001, terror attack on the Twin Towers with an image of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. The post Tuberville shared was from an account called "End Wokeness," which included a message that read, "Less than 25 years apart.""
""Racist. Islamophobic. Disgusting. Republicans just want to Make America White Again," Democratic Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts declared in a post on X. "This is mindless hate," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer asserted in a post on X. "Muslim Americans are cops, doctors, nurses, teachers, bankers, bricklayers, mothers, fathers, neighbors, mayors, and more.""
""Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers," Mamdani wrote in a post on X when sharing Tuberville's tweet, directly responding to the senator's controversial comparison."
Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville shared a post comparing a photo of NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani at a Ramadan Iftar event at city hall with the September 11 terror attack, stating "the enemy is inside the gates." The post from an account called "End Wokeness" juxtaposed the images with "Less than 25 years apart." Mayor Mamdani, a Muslim and democratic socialist, responded by calling for equal outrage about child hunger. Democrats condemned Tuberville's remarks as racist and Islamophobic, with Senator Ed Markey calling it disgusting and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer asserting that Muslim Americans are integral to American society. Tuberville defended his position by distinguishing between calling out "Radical Islam" and Islamophobia.
