We've written quite a bit about New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, the champagne socialist who is going to ruin the Big Apple if he wins the election.
He's wealthy; so wealthy that his parents have a compound in Uganda where he got married (with armed guards). Now it turns out that his mom had a decade of her film career bankrolled by Qatar, which might explain some of the family's wealth and its rampant anti-semitism:
Oh mama! Qatar bankrolled over a decade worth of films directed by Zohran Mamdani’s mom https://t.co/HVlHXNz4qU pic.twitter.com/IbIdrHr4X2

Hamas-backing Qatar has bankrolled film and stage projects by socialist Zohran Mamdani’s Israel-bashing movie-director mom — and one of its royals is now pushing her son’s mayoral bid, The Post has found.
Sheikha Al-Mayassa bint Hamad Al-Thani, sister to the ruling emir, and the state-funded cultural institutions she controls, have supported Mira Nair and her creative projects since at least 2009, even extending a personal invitation to participate in the cultural program the country organized as part of the festivities around hosting the 2022 World Cup.
Since mid-June, Sheikha Al-Thani has taken to promoting Mamdani’s mayoral candidacy on social media, boosting news of favorable polling on Instagram and posting fire emojis under a TikTok video of him embracing Nair.
Now it all makes even more sense.
I've seen zero enthusiasm for this person. As far as I can tell, it's 100% manufactured. Dude is being installed.

The GOP has failed to run a solid candidate in opposition, and the other opponents are both corrupt Democrats.
The Mamdani clan sure loves those evil billionaires pic.twitter.com/bFpggTawZN

That's (D)ifferent, of course.
When Mamdani becomes mayor of NYC, it will be Qatar with its hand up his back and moving his mouth.

Probably.
The commie sure loves taking millionaire money for his campaign while he preaches against capitalism and wealth🤪

Some billionaires are okay.
He is bought and paid for by Qatar…shocker

Not a shocker.
Rich on oil money from Qatar — one of the world’s worst patriarchal oppressors of women and minorities, a massive polluter, and a proud sponsor of terrorism. And yet this odious, corrupt family still LARPs as the socialist champions of equality and social justice. You’d have to… https://t.co/itIB2myVKa

The post concludes:
You’d have to be willfully blind — or ridiculously stupid — to still believe these wicked parasites.
YUP.
In this bad remake of the Manchurian Candidate, the politician is Zohran Mamdani, his mother is a rich filmmaker, and the country bankrolling the operation is Qatar.

And unlike the original movie, it's all true and happening right now in New York City. https://t.co/518CbI6ZwV
And nothing good will come of this.
