Zohran Mamdani obscured what led to murder of National Guardswoman

NYC's first Muslim mayor Mamdani, unsurprisingly, would not be clear about how the Religion of Peace played a part in the murder of a National Guardswoman by an illegal immigrant from Afghanistan in the District of Columbia:

New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is facing a torrent of condemnation over his public statement addressing the murder of West Virginia National Guard Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, who succumbed to her injuries after being shot, allegedly by Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an Afghan national admitted under President Joe Biden’s ‘Operation Allies Welcome’ program.

In a post on X, Mamdani wrote, “I’m devastated to learn of the passing of Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, a member of the West Virginia National Guard. She was only twenty years old. As families across the nation come together today to celebrate Thanksgiving, let us take a moment to think of those in West Virginia who have been plunged into unimaginable grief.”

Nowhere in the statement did Mamdani mention that Beckstrom was shot, allegedly by an Afghan migrant who was accused of shouting “Allahu Akbar” before opening fire on her and 24-year-old Andrew Wolfe near the White House. Beckstrom died Thursday evening from injuries sustained in the attack. The suspect, 29-year-old Rahmanullah Lakanwal, is in the hospital under heavy guard and may face the death penalty, according to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi. [...]

Despite the severity of the attack, the United Nations issued a post on social media hours later reaffirming that seeking asylum is a “human right,” without acknowledging the victims or the shooting in D.C. Meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board urged against “collective punishment,” cautioning that Afghan refugees “shouldn’t be blamed for the violent act of one man,” even as they acknowledged the Biden administration’s chaotic withdrawal may have undermined proper vetting procedures.

These latest remarks aren’t the first time Mamdani has drawn widespread rebuke for his statements. On October 7, 2025 — the second anniversary of the Hamas massacre of over 1,100 Israelis — Mamdani issued a statement that accused Israel of launching a “genocidal war.” His post condemned the United States for its alliance with Israel and labeled the Jewish state’s military response “war crimes.” Elected officials, Israeli diplomats, Jewish religious leaders, and conservative media figures called his remarks antisemitic and accused him of serving as a “mouthpiece for Hamas propaganda.”

And the WSJ has clearly proven they've lost all common sense to boot. This is disgusting, also because the UN is erasing the victims no matter what they say, and Mamdani is once again proving the bad omen he'll doubtless be when he assumes office of mayor. He owes the woman's family a huge apology, and tragically, it's unlikely he ever will say he's sorry.
