Zohran Mamdani's old tweet showing middle finger to Columbus statue sparks new row
Story by India Today News Desk

As the race for New York City's mayor heats up, Democratic Party frontrunner Zohran Mamdani's old tweets have come back to haunt him. First, a 2015 tweet questioning the FBI's surveillance tactics on Anwar al-Awlaki -- a US-born cleric later linked to the terror outfit al-Qaida and alleged to have ties to the 9/11 attackers -- enraged several New Yorkers still reeling from the tragedy.
 
Now, a 2020 tweet in which he is seen showing the middle finger to a statue of Christopher Columbus has infuriated the Italian-American voter base, which makes up 8 percent of New York City's electorate, The New York Post reported. For context, many Italian Americans view the 15th century explorer Columbus as a symbol of their cultural heritage.

"He is being disrespectful to the Italian American community...If you offend one community, you offend all communities," Columbus Heritage Coalition president Angelo Vivolo told The New York Post.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Zohran Mamdani's generation wants to roll the clock back to 1491 ... before the conquest of the Americas by evil capitalist genocidal Christian heterosexuals of Western Europen descent.

He thinks an Islamo-Marxist Caliphate will do a better job than those white guys did.

Memo to lil' andy cuomo:

Time to make some hay with your core constituency about this.

In a 4-way race, cuomo does the best against zombie mammi -- adams comes in next to LAST).
https://politicalpulse.net/us-polls/new-york-city-mayoral-election-polls-2025/
shows:
zombiemammi - 39
cuomo - 39
adams - 13
sliwa - 7

cuomo is pulling 3x the vote of adams.
adams needs to drop out and endorse cuomo.
