NY Senator’s “Misspoke” Claim After False Jihad Accusation Draws Ire
During a radio interview, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand appeared to suggest Zohran Mamdani had condoned “global jihad” in response to a caller’s claims about the newly elected politician. While addressing the accusations, Gillibrand stated she was concerned by past public statements and positions, particularly references to global jihad, which was later clarified by the show’s host. Gillibrand’s office later clarified that she had “misspoke” while attempting to address the caller’s assertions. Mamdani’s campaign declined to comment on the matter.
