This is one of the most important speeches given by a US politician in my lifetime. Thank you @ZohranKMamdani for standing up to the bigots, calling out the Islamophobes, and your pride in your faith at a time when Republicans & (some) Democrats have embraced anti-Muslim bigotry.

Mamdani: Yesterday, Andrew Cuomo laughed and agreed when a radio host said that I would cheer another 9/11. Yesterday, Eric Adams said that we “can’t let our city become Europe.” He compared me to violent extremists, and he lied when he said that our movement seeks to burn

The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker. And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows. No more.

“In an era of ever diminishing bipartisanship it seems that Islamophobia has emerged as one of the few areas of agreement.” Watch @ZohranKMamdani denounce the Islamophobia targeted towards his campaign and Muslim New Yorkers as early voting is set to begin in NYC.
