Liberty Check
- Mamdani called organizer Jake Lang a “white supremacist” while downplaying suspects’ ISIS allegiance.
- NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch confirmed “ISIS-inspired terrorism” with real bombs capable of killing.
- Mayor defended free speech but deemed the rally “vile” and “appalling,” ignoring attackers’ motives.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani labeled an anti-Islam protest outside his mansion as “rooted in bigotry and racism” after two suspects threw improvised explosive devices at attendees.
Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi were arrested for the ISIS-inspired attack, yet Mamdani focused more on condemning protesters than the terrorism.
“Yesterday, white supremacist Jake Lang organized a protest outside Gracie Mansion rooted in bigotry and racism. Such hate has no place in New York City.”
“It is an affront to our city’s values and the unity that defines who we are.”
“What followed was even more disturbing. Violence,”
Mamdani posted on X.
Constitutional conservatives demand leaders protect First Amendment rights without bias toward violent ideologies like ISIS.
Our freedoms depend on staying vigilant.
