New York’s governor’s race just got uglier after Rep. Elise Stefanik called NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani a jihadist — and Trump pushed back, according to Spectrum News.
Trump met Mamdani on Friday and called him “rational,” saying he doesn’t share Stefanik’s label. Stefanik doubled down online, calling Mamdani “Kathy Hochul’s jihadist.”
Gov. Hochul fired back during a TV interview, blasting Stefanik’s rhetoric as “disgusting” and accusing her of out-extreming Trump himself.
