Stephen King has vicious respo

Stephen King Defends NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani Against Racist Attacks

New York City’s newly elected mayor, Zohran Mamdani, has faced both celebration and hate following his historic win.

The 34-year-old, who became the city’s first Muslim mayor after defeating Andrew Cuomo with 50.4% of the vote, has endured online abuse targeting his faith and background.

Some social media users even linked Mamdani to 9/11, with one post asking,

“How the hell does the city that experienced the biggest Islamic terrorist attack in history vote for a Muslim mayor?”

Author Stephen King responded sharply, reposting the image and writing, “Um, he didn’t do it. He was 10 at the time.”

Many online praised King for calling out the bigotry, labeling the original post “sickening.”

In his victory speech, Mamdani said, “I am Muslim.

I am a Democratic Socialist, and most damning of all, I refuse to apologize for any of this… We will leave mediocrity in our past.”
