SARATOGA, N.Y. – In case you missed it, the Worst Governor in America Kathy Hochul supports a jihadist terrorist sympathizer for Mayor, who proudly campaigned with an unindicted co-conspirator of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
NEWS:
NY POST: Mamdani gleefully campaigned Friday with Wahhaj, a notorious, gay-hating imam who is an unindicted co-conspirator in 1993 World Trade Center bombing and who has been linked to other terrorist activity in the United States. The Democratic frontrunner to become the city’s next mayor was seen laughing and grinning while standing arm-in-arm with Wahhaj at the imam’s Bedford-Stuyvesant mosque in a photo the socialist posted on X a day after the first mayoral debate.
JNS: Nothing to see here, just the Kathy Hochul-endorsed, antisemitic Democrat socialist candidate for mayor of New York City campaigning and smiling with an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing,” the Republican Jewish Coalition stated. Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) stated that a “hack” New York Times journalist questioned why she called Mamdani a jihadist. “Do you want another comment?” she wrote, sharing Mamdani’s photo with the imam.
FOX NEWS: Retired FBI agent Frank Pellegrino, who investigated the Feb. 26, 1993 attack, said seeing the frontrunner to be the city’s next mayor with Wahhaj left him disgusted. “Zohran Mamdani’s embrace of Siraj Wahhaj is an example of Mamdani’s ignorance of history. Either he doesn’t know who Wahhaj is or he doesn’t care. Whichever it is, Mamdani looks foolish,” Pellegrino said.
DAILY CALLER: Prosecutors had named Imam Siraj Wahhaj — who previously called for an Islamic state in America — among dozens “who may be alleged to be co-conspirators” in the trial of several men convicted of planning a terrorism campaign which included the 1993 World Trade Center attack. The attack killed six people and injured more than 1,000 others.
NY POST: After news of the meeting broke, Vice President JD Vance ripped Mamdani on X. “I’ve been reliably informed that Democrats are opposed to any kind of political violence, so I look forward to them universally condemning Zohran Mamdani for campaigning with an unindicted co-conspirator in a terrorist plot that killed 6 New Yorkers,” he posted on the social media site.
WASHINGTON EXAMINER: Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), who may run for governor against Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) in 2026, has called him a “jihadist.” Stefanik commented on Mamdani’s appearance with Wahhaj, saying he was “campaigning with a terrorist” and relating Hochul to the event. “Kathy Hochul’s endorsed Jihadist Mayoral candidate praised and campaigned with the unindicted co-conspirator of the 1993 World Trade Center terrorist attack,” Stefanik said in a statement shared with the Washington Examiner. “Mamdani is a jihadist who is openly campaigning with terrorists and praising this terrorist as ‘one of the nation’s foremost Muslim leaders’ and a ‘pillar of the community.’”
NEWSMAX: Wahhaj is the longtime Imam of Masjid Al‑Taqwa in Brooklyn, New York, which he founded (in effect) in 1981. Wahhaj’s Masjid Al-Taqwa in Brooklyn had, during the late 1980s and early 1990s, attracted several Muslims who later became involved in the bombing or in related extremist circles around Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, which is why prosecutors named Wahhaj as an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 WTC case.
POST MILLENNIAL: The Brooklyn Imam was on the list of people who “may be alleged as co-conspirators” in the 1993 bombing attack. The older Wahhaj also testified as a character witness for Sheik Omar Abdel, who was known as the “blind sheikh” and was convicted in 1995 of plotting terrorist attacks on US soil.
BREITBART: Mamdani has a history of radical views. His father, scholar Mahmood Mamdani, has written in defense of suicide bombings as a legitimate war tactic, and recently published a laudatory biography of the notorious Ugandan dictator Idi Amin, who deported Indians and backed a thwarted terrorist hijacking against Israel.
KABC: New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani this week campaigned with imam Siraj Wahhaj, who appeared on a list of unindicted co-conspirators in the trial of the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center.
TWEETS:
@JDVance: I’ve been reliably informed that Democrats are opposed to any kind of political violence, so I look forward to them universally condemning Zohran Mamdani for campaigning with an unindicted co-conspirator in a terrorist plot that killed 6 New Yorkers.
@libsoftiktok: Nothing to see here… just Mamdani smiling gleefully with an alleged co-conspirator in the 1993 WTC bombing which left six people dead.
@MrAndyNgo: Leftist NYC mayoral candidate @ZohranKMamdani is boasting about his campaigning event at a Brooklyn mosque. The mosque’s imam was implicated in the 1993 WTC bombing & his 3 children were recently convicted for running a jihadist training camp in New Mexico.
@StopAntisemites: WOW – Zohran Mamdani grinning alongside Imam Siraj Wahhaj, a co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing that killed 6 people. Mamdani’s partnerships with extremists are putting New York City in danger. Are we in for another 9/11 if this man becomes mayor?
