John,

Yesterday, Democratic U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand went on an
Islamophobic rant against New York City’s Democratic nominee for mayor,
Zohran Mamdani.

[ [link removed] ]Rolling Stone: N.Y. Senator ‘Misspoke’ When She Falsely Claimed Zohran
Mamdani Condoned ‘Global Jihad.’ New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand’s office
walked back her suggestion that the New York mayoral nominee had supported
“global jihad.”

This is just the latest in a flurry of vile, despicable, and anti-Muslim
attacks on Zohran coming from BOTH sides of the aisle in light of his
decisive primary victory on Tuesday.

Gillibrand sounds more like a MAGA Republican in this interview than a
Democrat. [ [link removed] ]Not only should she be ashamed — she should resign from
office. Add your name if you agree →

Zohran has spoken extensively about being a mayor who will uplift and
protect ALL New Yorkers. Despite this, he has faced an outpouring of
unchecked Islamophobia and racism from elected officials in both parties.

In the Democratic Party, it’s telling that his detractors are corporate
shills — like Crypto cheerleader Gillibrand — who are obviously worried
about Zohran’s bold platform to make New York more affordable for working
people, including a tax on millionaires and billionaires.

There’s no justification for this kind of hatred, which is why Muslim
American members of Congress, including Justice Democrats Rep. Rashida
Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, have strongly denounced all of the anti-Muslim
rhetoric against Zohran. But like Mehdi Hasan said, EVERY Democrat in
Congress should condemn this.

[ [link removed] ]Tweet from Mehdi Hasan: The four Muslim members of Congress have put
out a statement condemning the Islamophobic attacks on Mamdani. But it
shouldn’t just be on the Muslim electeds. Where is Hakeem Jeffries? Where
is Chuck Schumer? Where is the caucus? Shame on any Dem elected who is
silent on this.

Gillibrand and other Do-Nothing Democrats should be embracing a young,
bold, and energizing Democratic leader like Zohran with open arms.
Instead, they’d rather sink to the same level as their MAGA counterparts
and push ugly lies, Islamophobic smears, and fear-mongering.

[ [link removed] ]This behavior isn’t acceptable from a so-called Democratic leader of
the U.S. Senate. Sign our petition calling on Gillibrand to resign from
office NOW!
