| NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani doubles down on bizarre refusal to sign resolution condemning Holocaust |
| 2025-05-18 |
| [NYP] NYC Socialist mayoral wannabe Zohran Mamdani continued to offer a bizarre excuse Saturday about why he refused to sign a resolution denouncing the Holocaust, and blew off questions about skipping out on a separate resolution celebrating Israel’s 77th anniversary. The pro-Palestine state Assemblyman from Queens parroted his staff’s response after the firestorm of criticism, insisting he didn’t sign the Holocaust resolution because he’s not co-sponsoring any resolutions in this year’s legislative session. "This year at the beginning of the year, I told my staff that we would not co-sponsor any resolutions that came into our Assembly office, and that has nothing to do with the substance of the resolution. I’m proud to be a supporter of that resolution," the embattled lawmaker said leaving a mayoral candidate forum hosted by the United Federation of Teachers in Midtown.

| #3 Looking at Wikipedia: Born in Uganda to ethnic Indian parents. His father is a professor of “colonialism” at Columbia U and chancellor of Kampala International U, while his mother makes films. After graduating from Bronx Science in New York City, he ended up at “almost-Ivy” Bowdoin, where he clearly majored in communist politics, taking up the profession as soon as he returned to The City, where he ran failing campaigns for a number of other socialists before getting it right for himself in 2021 He stands firmly for all the Democratic Socialists of America shibboleths except for that Shiite thing, which suggests Shiism is the thing that really matters to him — I can’t imagine his father, the colonialism professor, cares much for such old fashioned superstitions. |

| #1 Wiki - In 2018, Mamdani was naturalized as an American citizen.[5] He is Muslim, practicing the Shia branch of Islam.[58][59] He married Rama Duwaji in early 2025. But you probably guessed that already. |
