Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo slammed Democratic socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani <\/a>for painting himself as a victim because he is a Muslim, saying the rival mayoral candidate has spent his campaign offending 9\/11 families, Jews and various other groups of New Yorkers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“He claims that he is the victim of attacks because he is a Muslim. Nothing could be further from the truth. He is not a victim, he is the offender,” Cuomo said on Saturday. “This entire campaign, he has been dividing and attacking and offending different New York groups.”<\/p>\n

While speaking at an event in which he received the endorsements of several faith leaders, Cuomo lambasted Mamdani, who he called his “main opponent.” Cuomo listed a number of groups who he says have been hurt by Mamdani, including Jews, Blacks, Italians, members of the LGBTQ community \u2014 and even some Muslims.<\/p>\n

Cuomo first addressed the Jewish community, saying that Mamdani had hurt them “in a truly painful way.” The former governor recounted a recent interaction with a Jewish New Yorker who said he was afraid of wearing a Star of David in the city. In 2023, the UJA-Federation of New York said in a report<\/a> that there were just over 1.3 million Jews living in New York City.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The former governor took issue with Mamdani’s refusal to condemn the phrase “globalize the intifada,” which many see as a call for violence against Jewish people. Mamdani has faced criticism for his refusal to condemn the phrase early in the mayoral race.<\/p>\n

The former governor also said his opponent hurt the Sunni Muslim community by advocating for the decriminalization of prostitution. Cuomo added that according to the Quran, prostitution is haram<\/i>, which means “forbidden” in Arabic.<\/p>\n

After condemning Mamdani\u2019s gesture toward the Columbus statue and invoking its offense to Italian-Americans, Cuomo broadened his criticism. He pointed to a photo of Mamdani with a Ugandan official who backs harsh anti-gay laws, framing it as an affront to the LGBTQ community.<\/p>\n

He didn\u2019t stop there \u2014 Mamdani\u2019s friendship with controversial Twitch streamer Hasan Piker, who once said “America deserved 9\/11,” also drew scrutiny from the former governor.<\/p>\n

“You offend 9\/11 families. You offend every New Yorker because 9\/11 was an attack on all New Yorkers, and it traumatized all New Yorkers. So, no, he’s not the victim. He is the offender, and he has done a great deal of damage,” Cuomo said.<\/p>\n
