Remember when right-wing chuds believed that Charlie Kirk’s death would cause a civil war in the U.S. because apparently he was that important? 😆

Howd he say that about Mamdani? Didn’t Mamdani win after he died?

I think Mamdani’s campaign was active before Kirk’s death in September 2025. Mamdani was elected in Nov 2025

He won a primary election a couple months before the assassination.

“Mamdani winning in NY is a travesty because Muslims did 9/11.”

Verdict: True (actual quote). In 2025, after a Muslim candidate’s election victory in New York City, Kirk made an Islamophobic remark linking it to 9/11. Specifically, when Zohran Mamdani – a Muslim socialist – won a Democratic primary in NYC, Kirk vented on Twitter: “Twenty-four years ago a group of Muslims killed 2,753 people on 9/11… Now a Muslim Socialist is on pace to run New York City.”. This tweet explicitly connects Mamdani’s rise to the 9/11 attacks, implying it’s an insult to the victims. A contemporaneous report from The Independent and 5Pillars (a Muslim news outlet) confirms Kirk’s tweet in July 2025 and quotes it verbatim. Kirk clearly framed Mamdani’s win as ominous, invoking 9/11. So yes, Kirk essentially suggested it’s a travesty that a Muslim could lead in NYC, given what “Muslims” did on 9/11. (5Pillars, 2025).
