Zohran Mamdani is facing a fiery backlash over his backing of a far-left New York assembly candidate who dismissed 9/11 as a terror attack that just a “couple of people did. ” Conservatives and some liberals quickly condemned Mamdani for supporting Palestinian-American activist Aber Kawas, arguing her incendiary comments have no place in US politics. Rod Dreher, a prominent conservative writer, cast Kawas as a lefty version of Nick Fuentes — a racist Holocaust denier whose rise has created a rift on the right.
