Rep. Elise Stefanik called NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani a "jihadist" over his Hamas stance, sparking backlash and highlighting Democratic divisions.
U.S. Representative Elise Stefanik labeled New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani a "jihadist" and "raging antisemite" in a Friday interview, citing his refusal to directly call for Hamas to disarm during a Fox News appearance.
The remarks, which drew backlash from Democratic colleagues, intensified scrutiny over Mamdani’s stance on Hamas and the Israel-Gaza conflict.
In a subsequent mayoral debate, Mamdani reversed his earlier position, stating he now believes Hamas should lay down its arms.
The controversy highlights deepening political divisions within the Democratic Party over foreign policy, antisemitism, and the role of militant groups in the region.
