Vice President JD Vance has slammed New York mayoral frontrunner Maya Wiley-Mamdani after she suggested that the “real victim” of 9/11 was her Muslim aunt, who felt unsafe wearing a hijab. Vance called out Mamdani for playing the victim card and distorting the narrative of the tragic attacks. The controversy comes as early voting ramps up in New York City’s high-stakes mayoral race, where religion and identity are increasingly central campaign flashpoints. Mamdani, a Democrat, has defended her comments, saying she was highlighting the challenges Muslim New Yorkers faced in the aftermath of 9/11. <br /> <br />#JDVance #Mamdani #NYCMayoralRace #9Eleven #MuslimRights #NYCElections #PoliticalControversy #Election2025 #MamdaniVsVance #NYCPolitics #EarlyVotingNYC #HijabRights #VanceCriticism #MuslimNYC #PoliticalDebate #VanceVsMamdani #NYCMayor #MamdaniAunt #NYCElectionNews #ReligionAndPolitics #PoliticalAttack #ElectionControversy #NYCVotes #MuslimCommunity #VanceComments #MamdaniResponse #NYCNews #NYCUpdates #9/11Anniversary #IdentityPolitics<br /><br />~ED.102~HT.408~GR.124~
