Fake Statement Praising Zohran Mamdani’s Victory Attributed to ISIS

After Zohran Mamdani became New York City’s first Muslim mayor, Israeli and pro-Trump trolls on social media circulated a statement attributed to ISIS, claiming the group praised his victory.

An X user shared the post, which reached 1.7 million views, writing, “This is all you need to know about jihadi Mamdani. ISIS is openly supporting and calling his victory already.”
