CAIR Action: Zohran Mamdani accuses Andrew Cuomo of ‘racist’ attacks in NYC mayor’s race – USA Today

CAIR Action, a Muslim political advocacy organization, condemned Cuomo for a series of “Islamophobic and racist attacks” against Mamdani.

“Andrew Cuomo’s comments are despicable, dangerous, and disqualifying,” Basim Elkarra, CAIR Action’s executive director, said in a statement, adding “Cuomo crossed a moral line.”

“This rhetoric is not only deeply Islamophobic — it’s reckless and life-threatening to Muslim, Arab, and South Asian New Yorkers who still live with the trauma of the post-9/11 backlash,” Elkarra said.
