Stefanik Labels Mamdani As “Terrorist Sympathizer”

“My stomach is in knots. The idea that a self-avowed socialist and Hamas Terrorist sympathizer like Zohran Mamdani could become the next mayor of New York City truly makes me sick. NY Post: ‘Mamdani backer who works for NYC Campaign Finance Board is a longtime socialist operative with links to terror groups.’

“New York City is home to the Statue of Liberty. It’s a word- renowned symbol of freedom and the extraordinary resilience of the American people.

“If a socialist and Hamas Terrorist sympathizer becomes the next Mayor of the biggest city in America, every principle we hold dear as freedom-loving Americans will be under threat.

“And believe me, it pains me to say this next part. I truly wish I didn’t have to… but a poll shows that he’s taken the LEAD in ranked choice voting in the Democrat primary.

“That’s why I’m doing everything in my power — truly, everything I can — to ensure that such a doomsday scenario NEVER takes place.” – Rep. Elise Stefanik, in a money beg emailed last night.
