Mamdani Under FIRE: Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for New York’s mayoral race, is under fierce attack from Republicans questioning the legitimacy of his U.S. citizenship. Tennessee Congressman Andy Ogles mocked Mamdani on X, accused him of lying on his N-400 naturalization form, and cited old rap lyrics as evidence of “material support for terrorism.” Ogles is calling for a DOJ investigation and has labeled Mamdani a “socialist, communist, and antisemite.” With Mamdani’s national profile rising, Republicans are escalating efforts to derail his candidacy through citizenship-related attacks.
