As our own Doug Powers reported in a VIP post the other day, this is how The New York Times covered New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's wife, Rama Duwaji, liking Instagram posts of the October 7 slaughter in Israel by Hamas terrorists:
Mamdani’s wife cheered the murder of 1200 innocent Israelis on October 7th. This is how @nytimes covered it. You will recall that the same paper had multiple front page stories about the different flags Justice Alito’s wife flew outside their homes. pic.twitter.com/G0lFF6Vn3N

Ben "Hamas" Rhodes and Taylor Lorenz were both disgusted with CBS News picking up the story when there's so much else to cover, such as " AI unleashed." Mamdani insisted she was a "private person," even though New York Magazine reported that she served as "the de facto adviser" to his campaign.
I found 70+ posts liked by Rama Duwaji, Zohran Mamdani's wife, of radical anti-Israel content—and even Holocaust inversion. pic.twitter.com/Q7NEKVXSnG

Multiple people were wondering if she'd liked any posts about the attack on a Michigan synagogue on Thursday.
Ryan Grim, reporter for Drop Site News, didn't seem to think the story was a big deal either.
The NYC mayor's wife liked this photo on December 7, 1941, I can exclusively report. She must apologize. pic.twitter.com/PWhVca30W3

Dude the fact that you’re trying to infantilize what she actually did is actually why no one respects your journalism

If you’re joking, it fell flat and people aren’t getting it.

If you’re not joking, you’re positively out of your mind.
We think it was supposed to be a joke. We're guessing Drop Site News didn't cover the story.
I'm glad this is all a joke to you Ryan

Imagine being such a terrorist shill that you think the mayor of New York Citys wife cheering on the massacre of Jews is no big deal. Such a horrid example of liberal brain rot.

Mamdani just broke bread for Ramadan with a man who felt perfectly comfortable giving the ISIS salute inside of New York's city hall. There must be a joke in there somewhere.
