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.
