New York’s radical mayor has hit a new low. Just days after a terror attack inspired by ISIS shook the city, Mayor Zohran Mamdani rolled out the red carpet at Gracie Mansion for a cozy Ramadan dinner. Muslims and political allies gathered, praying loudly, chanting their slogans, and sitting on the floor as if they owned the place—just steps from where chaos recently erupted. Apparently, the mayor thinks it’s more important to host a political dinner than to show any real leadership after violence rocked his own front yard.
Let’s get real: the mayor unleashed a harsher attack on a young American protester than he ever did on the ISIS-linked terrorists hurling bombs outside his mansion. He had more fire for a guy holding a sign than for extremists threatening the safety of New Yorkers. This is classic liberal hypocrisy—tough talk for law-abiding citizens, soft-pedaling for radicals and foreign agitators.
Even worse, there are swirling accusations that one of the mayor’s guests flashed a gesture tied to ISIS—one finger raised, a sign that’s been flying high in terrorist propaganda videos for years. Some in the media are busy making excuses, saying maybe the man was simply referring to his faith. But let’s not kid ourselves. Would anyone permit a similar gesture linked to a white supremacist group at a city event? Of course not. But when it comes to “devotion” among the left’s favorite identity groups, suddenly all is forgiven. They’ll twist themselves into knots to brush off obvious red flags.
And the guest list? It included none other than Mahmoud Khalil, an outspoken pro-Hamas activist from Columbia University. The Trump administration tried again and again to deport this guy, but leftist judges stepped in to protect him. Now Khalil is breaking bread with the city’s socialist mayor, just days after violence rooted in the same extremist ideology crept right into New York’s heart.
This is what happens when you let radical socialists and globalist sympathizers run America’s largest city. These so-called leaders refuse to defend our people or our culture. They demonize patriotic citizens but give extremists a seat at the head table. New Yorkers should be asking: If Mamdani’s only answer to terror is to serve dinner and coddle radicals, what’s he going to do when the next attack comes?
