Out of all the underhanded, racist shit that got slung at Mamdani during the campaign, I think the very worst was the claim that New York would have “another 9/11” under him as mayor. What the fuck does the mayor have to do with 9/11? Is there a secret battery of anti-aircraft missiles that he’s supposed to be in charge of???
I think they meant that violent terrorists would invade and terrorize the city. Though in this case, it would be white supremacists and other societal tumors.
The coldest line I ever heard Joe Biden drop is when he said you could sum up Rudy Guiliani’s entire presidential campaign as “I’m Rudy Guiliani and 9/11.”
And who can forget, Rudy Giulani, “Mr. 9/11”, who name-dropped 9/11 with every response in the debates when he was running for president.
“America’s mayor”, who helped instill Islamophobia in the us, and whose title has now been passed on to Zohran Mamdani, an African Muslim immigrant.

Yeah, and if he had any tangible effect on the odds of that… wouldn’t it be decreasing them?
