Mamdani was also 10 years old when 9/11 happened. These people online act like he masterminded the whole thing.

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL NEWS! He crafted one of the best campaigns I have ever seen. So many people rallied around him and worked their tails off for him. People all around the country are jazzed for his victory! He put up with so many character assassinations throughout the campaign but he did not fall for their below the belt tactics.
