Zohran Mamdani�s racial hoax is only the tip of the iceberg on this guy,
but it�s in keeping with the Democrats� penchant for getting caught trying
to game the system. How many race hoaxes have been busted in the past
decade? The hate crime hoax from Jussie Smollett is Super Bowl-caliber.

For Mamdani, he tried to pass off as Black and Asian when applying to
Columbia University, explaining he did that because his ethnic background
is too rich for one box or something. The New York Times published the
story, but it appears it was done to prevent conservative activist
Christopher Rufo from doing more damage with his scoop on the subject (via Semafor):

Bummer to get scooped, but kudos to my friends at the New York Times for
being first to publish the story

The afternoon before a long holiday weekend isn�t always the best time to
drop a major scoop. But the New York Times did not want to wait to publish
its story about Zohran Mamdani�s application to Columbia University in
2009, in which the paper reported that the Democratic nominee for New York
City mayor then identified his race on a form as both �Asian� and �Black
or African American.� Mamdani is of South Asian ethnicity and was born in Uganda.

The story, published late last week, came as the result of the release of hacked Columbia University records that were then shared with the Times.
The paper believed it had reason to push the story out quickly: It did not
want to be scooped by the independent journalist Christopher Rufo. Two
people familiar with the reporting process told Semafor that the paper was aware that other journalists were working on the admissions story,
including Rufo, a conservative best known for his crusade against critical
race theory.

In a message, Rufo confirmed to Semafor that he had been reporting out the piece before the Times published its version of the story. Rufo said that
he would be publishing additional details about the incident on his
Substack in the coming days.

A spokesperson for the paper declined to comment on whether Rufo�s
reporting prompted the paper to push the piece out on Thursday, and
pointed Semafor to a statement it first provided to the Columbia
Journalism Review outlining its reason for publishing the piece.

It�s bad�disqualifying if we�re playing the Left�s rules. But there�s more insanity from this guy, like how his father thinks we should de-stigmatize suicide bombings, and how rich out-of-state progressives are filling his campaign war chest. Rather fitting for someone who calls himself a BMW Bolshevik.

�Suicide bombing needs to be understood as a feature of modern political violence rather than stigmatized.�

These are the words of Zohran Mamdani�s father, a current professor at Columbia.
