Muslim communist New York City Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani has been caught spreading a hoax so grand it would make Jussie Smollett green with envy.
Last Friday, Mamdani claimed during a press conference in the Bronx regarding ‘Islamophobia’ that his aunt suffered after 9/11, saying she felt unsafe in her hijab.
“I want to use this moment to speak to the Muslims in New York City,” Mamdani said before pausing for several seconds as he fought back tears. “I want to speak to the memory of my aunt…Who stopped taking the subway after 9/11 because she did not feel safe in her hijab.”

Yes, she was the real victim of 9/11

Mandani clearly saw a moment to garner sympathy from the adoring national media and his fellow Muslims as he closed in on becoming the Big Apple’s next mayor.
It turns out, however, that Mamdani’s aunt DID NOT wear a hijab nor even live in New York City during that time.
In fact, she lived in Tanzania, thousands of miles away.

Here is a closer look at her LinkedIn resume, which shows her living in Tanzania from 1999 to 2003.
But there’s more!
Legendary feminist author Naomi Wolf uncovered that Mamdani’s aunt is supposedly an expert in reproductive and sexual health and rights and gender equality.
Such activities are forbidden in Islamist culture.
This is Zohran Mamdani’s aunt’s bio. A mover and shaker! She allegedly wore a hijab after 9/11 but she is an expert in “reproductive and sexual health and rights, gender equality” and other “haram” or forbidden-in-Islam secular NGO priorities. She also is not wearing hijab in… https://t.co/dP4YxHOnz9 pic.twitter.com/CeWKzwkNvX

This is the man New Yorkers are poised to elect as their next mayor, even though so much about his overall background remains unclear to the average person.
How many more stories has he told that will soon prove false?
