"The desperate Cuomo campaign and the desperate media think they have an ace up their sleeve to derail Mamdani: The fact that he's a MUSLIM!!! Moore wrote. Critics have taken issue with ads in favor of Cuomo, including an AI-generated video (which was deleted) depicting criminals for Mamdani. The Bowling for Columbine director praised Mamdani for handling himself with courage, dignity, and class amid the attacks."
"From open violent threats directed at Zohran and his family, to hateful and bigoted TV ads, to racist and disgusting attacks from the media and his opponents, the level of hate is sickening, Moore wrote. According to the filmmaker, Mamdani critics have been incensed into personal insults not just by his far-left politics, but his views on Israel and Gaza. Mamdani has taken the shocking and politically incorrect position that Palestinians are, in fact, human beings and should not be exterminated."
Zohran Mamdani is a self-described Democratic socialist currently leading former Governor Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa in most polls for New York City mayor.

He has received open violent threats directed at him and his family. Muslims in New York City have been barraged with Islamophobic TV ads and mailers. Critics have targeted his views on Israel and Gaza, particularly his stance that Palestinians are human beings who should not be exterminated. Supporters praise his measured, dignified responses amid rising hate and calls to end bigotry.
