Mayor Zohran Mamdani Defends Wife After Reports Detail Her Social Media Support for Oct. 7 Attacks

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is defending his wife, Rama Duwaji, after reports revealed she liked social media posts that celebrated the October 7 attacks on Israel. Some of these posts reportedly cheered on the massacre or labeled investigations into sexual violence during the attacks as a hoax. While Mamdani has publicly criticized Hamas, critics point out that his wife’s social media activity appears to contradict his public stance. Mamdani stated that his wife is not a public figure and argued that her personal views are no one’s business. However, some reports suggest the paper trail of her activity does not align with the Mayor's explanations. Other critics have accused the media of providing soft treatment to his wife regarding her online history.
