Andrew Cuomo faces backlash for remarks linking Muslim extremism to societal threats and suggesting a Muslim candidate might cheer another 9/11, sparking accusations of Islamophobia.
Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo drew criticism for remarks on a radio show where he appeared to link Muslim extremism to broader societal threats, referencing incidents in Nigeria and Germany while denying targeting Muslims.
He also faced backlash for a comment suggesting Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, a Muslim, might "cheer" if another 9/11 occurred, which Cuomo’s campaign said he did not endorse.
The comments, tied to Mamdani’s ties to progressive commentator Hasan Piker, sparked accusations of Islamophobic and divisive rhetoric.
Mamdani condemned the remarks as racist, highlighting tensions in the race over identity, national security, and language around Israel and Gaza.
