Some say Cuomo has a chance to win if Curtis Sliwa drops out. Maybe, maybe not, far Left New Yorkers seems bound and determined to elect the hardcore socialist. Except, is he really a socialist?

Lefty NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani gleefully campaigned this week with a notorious, gay-hating Brooklyn imam who is an unindicted co-conspirator in 1993 World Trade Center bombing and who has been linked to other terrorist activity in the United States — including urging “jihad” on the Big Apple.
The Democratic frontrunner to become the city’s next mayor was seen laughing and grinning while standing arm-in-arm with Siraj Wahhaj at the imam’s Bedford-Stuyvesant mosque in a photo the socialist posted to X a day after the first mayoral debate.
Councilman Yusef Salaam (D-Manhattan), a member of the Central Park 5 who was elected in November 2023, was also in the photo.
“Today at Masjid At-Taqwa, I had the pleasure of meeting with Imam Siraj Wahhaj, one of the nation’s foremost Muslim leaders and a pillar of the Bed-Stuy community for nearly half a century,” Mamdani wrote on X of the Friday encounter.
Wahhaj, 75, who also heads the Muslim Alliance in North America, was fingered by prosecutors as an “unindicted co-conspirator” in the 1993 WTC bombing, which left six people dead, and has publicly defended the plotters of the attack against the FBI and CIA, whom he at the time dubbed the “real terrorists.”
During subsequent trials, Wahhaj testified in support of Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman — the infamous “blind sheikh” and leader of a terrorist sect out of Egypt — calling the man a “respected scholar.”
The Imam is a homegrown terrorist, having been born in Brooklyn.
Wahhaj has also derided the LGBTQ community as “a disease of this society,” the report found.
Aren’t Democrats supposed to be 100% supportive of LGBTQ?
Wahhaj is a mentor of Brooklyn-based Muslim activist Linda Sarsour, the intelligence report notes.
Yeah, she’s a wackjob Islamic extremist
The Israel-hating, Palestinian-American firebrand is one of Mamdani’s mentors and has played a big role in his mayoral campaign.
Will the Jews in NYC vote for Mamdani?
No Mr Teach, you are again wrong in your evaluation of Democrats. Democrats meet together under a big umbrella and have widely differing personal views. Some support abortion others don’t is one example. Another is s Israel support for the current government of that state varies widely. Do all Republicans support Trump’s decision to never release the Trump Epstein Giles and videos? Yourself, would you like to see that cover up continue? How about the latest sentence commutation of Trump loyalist George Santos ? Yes it May from Mr Teach. Or the Tomahawks to Ukraine, do you now fully support that decision of Trump?

You must be speaking about Republicans, not Democrats.
Pennsylvania had a pro-life Democrat senator in Bob Casey, and he was reliably pro-life in voting . . . as long as the Democrats didn’t need his vote. But when the vote was close, and the Dems needed his vote, he always voted in favor of prenatal infanticide.
So hold it… having any contact with a criminal makes you guilty of their crimes? Interesting idea.
There are numerable photographs and videos of Donald Trump arm and arm with convicted pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein. They had a close and protracted “friendship”. Does that make Donald a pedophile?
Linda Sansour and Siraj Wahhaj were both born in America! Wahhaj was born Jeffrey Kearse, to African-American parents in Brooklyn. He was originally Baptist but turned to the Nation of islam as a young man. Wahhaj left the Nation of islam to become a Sunni muslim.
Wahhaj voices many conservative positions including condemning LGBTQs, capital punishment and that Scripture is inviolate.
NYT: “several people connected to the 1993 World Trade Center bombing” either attended Masjid At-Taqwa or visited it around the time of the bombing. Law enforcement investigators listed Wahhaj as one of “several dozen potential conspirators” in the bombing, but Wahhaj was never indicted.
Teach typed: “The Imam is a homegrown terrorist…”
There is no evidence that Wahhaj is a terrorist.
Wahhaj was also listed as an unindicted co-conspirator in the following cases:
1. In April 2024, a state grand jury in Arizona issued indictments against several of Trump’s allies for their involvement in a fake electors scheme. Though not charged, he was referred to in court documents as “Unindicted Co-conspirator 1”.
2. In April 2024, an investigator for the Michigan Attorney General’s Office identified him as an unindicted co-conspirator during a court hearing for the state’s fake electors case.
3. In the federal case brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith concerning election interference, the indictment refers to six unnamed co-conspirators who worked with him, but does not explicitly name hin as one of them.
