We recently learned that the founder of ‘Hot Girls for Zohran” is a Muslim man whose tweets defended Hamas and during the war tweeted, “Tell Iran we voting for a Muslim in NYC please let them know lmao.”
When asked to condemn his supporter, Mamdani refused to address the question and left the room.
He’ll have another shot because one of his appointees is even worse. The invaluable Canary Mission (you can see why Islamic and radical groups have been trying to criminalize its research work) has exposed some even uglier stuff.
Canary Mission profiled Achmat Akkad, describing him as a Mamdani appointee working as a ‘community engagement training specialist’ for the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.
Here are some of his views.
On June 1, 2025, Akkad posted on X: “Hamas is to Palestine what the National Liberation Front was to Algeria, the People’s Movement for the Liberation of Angola was to Angola, and Mau Mau were to Kenya. White people always hate the armed resistance groups born from illegal occupations but never the occupiers.”
“1 Israeli left in this world would be too many!”
“To save Israel, Zionists are leading the largest resurgence of white supremacy.”
“Jews that don’t support apartheid are safe. Zionist aren’t!”
And yes, he hates America too.
On June 21, 2025, during the Israeli and American war against Iran, Akkad posted on X: “The United States is the largest most powerful terrorist organization in the world.”
Akkad posted on X: “Americans are colonizers, and like all colonizers, their politics will always serve the interests of colonization…”
While Achmat is being highlighted now, he was actually profiled by the official account of the mayor’s office under Bill de Blasio, whom Mamdani considers his role model.
“I am a Black male with a Muslim name living in New York City. I am also LGBTQ, a veteran and Shiite.”
Achmat Akkad is a Communications and Special Projects Coordinator with NYC Veterans, and just one of the wonderfully diverse and talented Black Men of City Hall. Read more on Medium.
Nothing says wonderfully diverse and talented like supporting the murder of Jews.
Back then Achmat was listed as the “Communications and Special Projects Coordinator” at the Department of Veterans Services.
He seems to have moved up since.
This is the ‘Mamdanization’ of New York. This is what happened in London, Paris and other major cities. The upsurge of genocidal and terrorist rhetoric urging on greater violence and tearing apart society.
