Democrats and the media have found a brand new technique to guard the communist Muslim Zohran Mamdani from criticism. Simply kidding, it’s really an previous technique.
Any more, criticism of Mamdani mechanically makes you an Islamophobe.
The place have we seen this technique used earlier than? Oh yeah! Throughout the eight years of the Obama presidency. As it’s possible you’ll recall, all criticism of Obama made you mechanically racist.
Standard drained playbook.

MAGA influencers exploded over Zohran Mamdani’s upset victory in New York Metropolis’s Democratic mayoral major, launching a wave of racist and Islamophobic assaults towards the 33-year-old democratic socialist.
Why it issues: Mamdani who can be New York’s first Muslim mayor if elected, is of Indian ancestry, was born in Uganda and have become a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2018. He’s rapidly changing into a MAGA boogeyman as a lot for his religion and background as for his left-wing politics.
– Police had been already investigating hate-related threats towards Mamdani within the days main as much as Tuesday’s election, the place he was on monitor to defeat former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
– Mamdani, whose has drawn criticism for his pro-Palestinian activism, has repeatedly condemned antisemitism and pledged to be a mayor for all New Yorkers.
What they’re saying: “It’s unhappy in that in a single sense it’s unsurprising, and in one other, it’s nonetheless deeply disappointing to see what politics has grow to be on this second,” Mamdani instructed MSNBC’s Jen Psaki in an interview Wednesday.
It’s all so predictable.

David Strom of Hot Air makes this level:
However he’s WITH the Islamists, and has mentioned so many instances, and he’s working to get the Muslim vote by interesting to his Muslim roots. And plenty of of these Muslims he’s interesting to are Islamists.
Any sane particular person would criticize this, and it isn’t Islamophobic to take action. It isn’t even Islamophobic to oppose Islam changing into a dominant power in American tradition. All cultural teams favor their very own tradition–it’s what makes a tradition a tradition–and it’s completely cheap for Individuals to reject the concept that New York Metropolis ought to look extra like Mecca or Tehran.
Hey, it’s not just like the man is OK with globalizing the intifada, proper? Oh wait…
Anybody who actually believes that “globalize the intifada” is a reputable name for Palestinian equality and equal rights is both a liar or a moron.
Zohran Mamdani is each, and he ought to by no means be elected because the mayor of NY Metropolis or anyplace else.pic.twitter.com/qXSs8AQAon
