- NYC socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani has made statements that have sparked significant backlash from conservative circles.
- The controversy arose after Mamdani condemned a military strike ordered by former President Donald Trump, which resulted in the death of Ayatollah Khamenei of Iran.
- Mamdani labeled the strike an “illegal war,” a statement that has been interpreted by critics as support for the Iranian leadership.
- The backlash is primarily from conservative commentators who accuse Mamdani of “rooting for the Ayatollah.”
