Leave it to Zohran Mamdani to bury the lede of the story.
The man who stormed into a mosque in NYC yesterday with a BB pistol was a Muslim.

Important detail, as Mamdani’s post leaves the impression that this could have been a hate crime by a white person. pic.twitter.com/GJSfdws7iU
Yes, participants at a mosque were in fear after a man pulled out what appeared to be a gun. The guy who pulled out the bb gun, however, is also Muslim. That part seems important.
Purposely obfuscated. Yes. https://t.co/iJtC9IFuvP

He didn’t “storm into a mosque”

He sat quietly amongst the ppl and then put on a ski mask and pulled the BB gun out to threaten Muslims and scare them
Whether he was Muslim or not, he is a criminal and should be punished https://t.co/qvQtKCXbW9
Of course he should. It's still important to point out it wasn't a 'hate crime'.
Mandummy full of crap? Nah…can’t be true…. He’s such an honest country serving representative of his city🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨 https://t.co/b2BD3bZ4Fy

It must be opposite day.
Umm was it your intention to leave out the most important part of the story? 🤔 https://t.co/n43qO9Gfhz

Yes, that's exactly his intention. He wanted readers to think someone was being mean to Muslims.

Particularly if you can make it a sob story for Muslims.

Isn't this the same guy who wanted to defund the police?
The guy with the gun was also Muslim. Convenient fact to leave out. What a snake. https://t.co/gHndMIVsf2

Let me summarize this cancerous creature's every statement: "Islam, Islam, Islam. F**k the United States. Islam, Islam, Islam. I hate this country. It is evil. F**k Israel. F**k the Zionists. Islam, Islam, Islam, Islam, Islam, Islam, Islam."

Did I miss anything? https://t.co/KG6BFV0F69
This about sums it up.
The man who committed this act of violence against Muslims was Muslim.

Mamdani does not say that though because he is a fork-tongued deceiver. https://t.co/EHRTLXQm8V
He's also a terrible person doing things a terrible person would do.
