Vice President JD Vance criticized New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani after he spoke about his Muslim aunt feeling unsafe wearing on the subway following the September 11 attacks. Vance wrote on X that "the real victim of 9/11 was his auntie who got some (allegedly) bad looks." Guy km Mamdani made the remarks during a press conference outside a Bronx mosque, stating he wanted to "speak to the memory of my aunt, who stopped taking the subway after September 11 because she did not feel safe in her hijab." The comments came amid controversy after Andrew Cuomo questioned Mamdani's crisis leadership abilities and made hypothetical remarks about another 9/11-style attack, which Mamdani called Islamophobic.
