Rep. Elise Stefanik calls Zohran Mamdani 'definition of a jihadist'

U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik , an Empire State Republican, called Democratic Big Apple mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani a “jihadist.”

“I call Zohran Mamdani a jihadist because he is. Zohran Mamdani is a raging antisemite. Mamdani is the definition of a jihadist as he supports Hamas terrorists which he did as recently as yesterday when he refused to call for Hamas terrorists to put down their arms – the same Hamas terrorist group that slaughtered civilians including New Yorkers on October 7, 2023,” the congresswoman claimed .

Fox News Digital emailed Mamdani’s campaign to request a comment from the New York City mayoral candidate.

Fox News Channel’s Martha MacCallum asked Mamdani during an interview earlier this week whether he believes Hamas should lay down arms and depart from leaders
