"These hateful, Islamophobic, and racist tropes have become so entrenched and normalized in our politics," the group said. "We know these attacks all too well."
Muslim American members of Congress called out the “vile, anti-Muslim, and racist” attacks on New York Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, who is poised to secure the Democratic Party’s nomination in New York City’s mayoral race.
Democratic Reps. Ilhan Omar (Minn.), Rashida Talib (Mich.), André Carson (Ind.), and Lateefah Simon (Calif.) put out a statement in defense of Mamdani, who has faced racist attacks against him since his stunning primary upset against disgraced former Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
“The vile, anti-Muslim, and racist smears from our colleagues on both sides of the aisle attacking Zohran Mamdani cannot be met with silence,” the members said in a statement on Friday.
In the days since his electrifying win, Mamdani has become the subject of intense attacks.
