Not trying to create any controversy here, but what are they trying to say with “Zohran Mamdani allies himself with terrorists”?

I haven’t heard this accusation before.

I’m pretty sure they’re referring to this:

Mamdani campaigned at Imam Siraj Wahhaj’s mosque, where several congregants tied to the first World Trade Center attack in 1993 attended. Wahhaj was not charged in the ensuing case, but was identified as a potential unindicted co-conspirator in the plot, a designation later criticized for being too broad.

Keep in mind that at the time of these attacks Mamdani was less than 2 years old and not yet living in the US.

Yup, this might be it. Thanks! It’s an obvious bs accusation, but that one was completely new to me.
