New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is calling out Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama for his recent anti-Muslim social media posts, labeling them as “bigotry.” Tuberville shared an image on X that really crossed a line, showing Mamdani next to a photo of the horrific 9/11 terror attacks, with the chilling caption, “the enemy is inside the gates.”
Mamdani, the city’s first Muslim mayor, has been the target of repeated verbal assaults lately. According to NPR, he spoke at an iftar dinner on Thursday evening, a special meal to break the daily Ramadan fast, and emphasized that many American Muslims, unfortunately, deal with prejudice regularly.
