EXCERPT
A pro-Andrew Cuomo super PAC released a mailer this week that modified the image of Zohran Mamdani, the progressive frontrunner in New York City’s mayoral race, to appear as if he has a darker, longer beard.
The altered image of Mamdani, a New York state representative, appeared next to text on a mailer claiming that Mamdani “rejects” the police and capitalism. It also claimed that Mamdani “rejects Israel,” on the basis that the Ugandan-born Democratic Socialist supports a nonviolent Palestinian-led movement known as BDS that advocates for economic sanctions against Israel.
The advert also advertised Mamdani as a candidate who “rejects Jewish rights,” claiming that he “refuses to recognize Israel as a Jewish state.” It was developed by Fix The City Inc., a group predominantly paid for by DoorDash, according to the group’s website.
