Zohran Mamdani, a progressive candidate for New York City mayor, has accused Andrew Cuomo's supporters of Islamophobia after a campaign mailer altered his appearance. The mailer, which targets Jewish voters, misrepresents Mamdani's image by darkening his beard while lightening his skin tone. This action has raised questions about racial bias and fear tactics in the competitive mayoral race. Mamdani argues that the changes reflect an attempt to undermine his campaign, especially as recent polls indicate that he may be gaining ground against Cuomo ahead of the primary election.
Mamdani accused donors of gubernatorial candidate Andrew Cuomo of blatant Islamophobia for an altered campaign mailer, depicting him with a darker, bushy beard to misrepresent him.
The altered image not only lightened Mamdani's skin but also altered his beard, presenting a manipulated visual that highlights underlying racism associated with Cuomo's campaign.
