New York State Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani participated in the NYC Pride March in Manhattan, according to reports on Israeli right-wing Telegram channels. The event marks his first Pride march as an elected official.
New York State Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani (D-Queens) participated in the NYC Pride March in Manhattan, according to reports circulated on Israeli right-wing Telegram channels on Sunday and Monday. The reports feature reactions from Jewish voters who supported Mamdani, expressing satisfaction with his participation. One message quotes supporters saying they were told Mamdani would be anti-LGBT but now he is marching in Manhattan, and that crime is at a 20-year low since he took office. The reference to Mamdani as mayor appears in the source text, but publicly available records confirm he is a New York State Assemblymember, not the mayor. The Zioneer has previously reported on Mamdani's political rise and his positions on Israel, including his opposition to defining Israel as a Jewish state and his backing of anti-Zionist primary candidates.
