Communist Muslim NYC Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani changed his dubious story about his hijab-wearing aunt after he got caught in a huge lie.
Mamdani cried victim last week during remarks in front of an Islamic center in the Bronx and claimed his aunt was on the receiving end of Islamophobic abuse after the 9/11 terror attacks.
“I want to speak to the memory of my aunt, who stopped taking the subway after September 11th because she did not feel safe in her hijab,” Mamdani said, fighting through fake tears as he delivered remarks in front of the Islamic Cultural Center in the Bronx last Friday.
It turns out Mamdani’s aunt didn’t even live in the US on 9/11 – and she doesn’t even wear a hijab.
Mamdani’s aunt, Masuma Mamdani, lived in Tanzania during the 9/11 terror attacks.

On Monday, Zohran Mamdani was called out for lying about his ‘aunt,’ so he changed the story.
Mamdani now claims that he was actually talking about a mysterious distant cousin.
“I was speaking about my aunt, I was speaking about Zehra Fuhi, my father’s cousin, who sadly passed away a few years ago,” Mamdani told reporters on Monday.
“Fuhi means paternal aunt in Urdu and Hindi,” the New York Post reported.
But Mamdani wasn’t done playing victim after claiming he was referring to his dead aunt… who is actually a distant cousin.
He chastised Cuomo and critics for questioning his dubious story after it turned out his only aunt wasn’t even living in the US on 9/11.
“And for the takeaway for my more than 10-minute address about Islamophobia in this race and in this city to be the question of my aunt tells you everything about Andrew Cuomo and his inability to reckon with a crisis of his own,” Mamdani said.
