US EditionCuomo criticizes Mamdani over comments related to 9/11 families and Jewish community
- Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo used a radio appearance on Sid Rosenberg's WABC show and a campaign ad to suggest Zohran Mamdani would 'cheer' another 9/11, posting then deleting an AI-generated ad linking Mamdani to criminals.
- With his campaign struggling, Cuomo questioned Zohran Mamdani's readiness, framing attacks on crisis management as polls showing Mamdani as frontrunner pressured him on October 23, 2025.
- On the campaign trail, Mamdani pushed back, saying `I have never, not once, spoken in support of global jihad...I am the first Muslim candidate to be on the precipice of winning this election` and highlighting his diverse community support despite Cuomo's debate accusations.
- Immediate fallout included no formal campaign responses as neither Cuomo nor Mamdani's campaign teams replied to requests amid the controversy.
- Tensions over faith and foreign-policy rhetoric are reshaping the contest, as Zohran Mamdani's criticism of Israel and Andrew Cuomo's mispronunciation of Mamdani's name deepen New York City communities divided over the Israel-Hamas war.

M…

CNN Host Brianna Keilar's Bias By Omission on Mamdani's Radicalism Is Astounding
The liberal media has been having a field day attacking former New York City mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo as anti-Muslim for his response to a statement made during an interview Thursday morning on WABC Radio's "Sid & Friends In The Morning." Cuomo chuckled when host Sid Rosenberg claimed that if there was another 9/11, Zohran Mamdani, who is the Democrat candidate for mayor, and a Muslim, would "be cheering."
