Zohran Mamdani Mamdani Tried to Get Charlie Kirk Banned From Speaking in New York, Smeared Him As a ‘Far-Right Extremist,’

This from a jihadist who supports Hamas savages. But it tracks. Banning speech is a central tenet of Islam.

FLASHBACK: Mamdani labeled Kirk a ‘far-right extremist’ who should be canceled from speaking in NYC

Mamdani and other leaders who tried to block Charlie Kirk in 2023 argued ‘hate has no home’ in NYC

By Andrew Mark Miller, Fox News, September 17, 2025:

Fox News senior correspondent Eric Shawn reports on New York Gov. Kathy Hochul’s endorsement of NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani on ‘Special Report.’

New York City socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani once signed a letter labeling conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated last week, as an “extremist” while calling on a venue to block his ability to speak in New York City.

In a June 2023 press release by several local Democrats, Mamdani and his colleagues issued a statement “in response to Motif Studios agreeing to host a far-right extremist event on June 17th at Tammany House in Long Island City.”

“As elected officials representing western Queens, we are deeply disappointed by the decision by Motif Studios to host an event by the far-right extremist groups Blexit and Turning Point USA at their Triplex LIC/Tammany House venue in Long Island City,” the statement explained.

“Providing a platform for the kind of transphobic, bigoted views held by invited speakers Candace Owens, Charlie Kirk and others goes directly against the diversity and inclusivity that we hold dear as New Yorkers and is an insult to every member of our community.”

The elected Democrats went on to call on Motif Studios to “follow the lead” of another local venue who was originally going to host the event but “canceled their booking after the community spoke out” about the “bigotry” of the event organizers.

“Hate has no home in Queens, New York City, or anywhere else and certainly not here in Long Island City,” the press release said.

The scheduled event was held according to plan and Kirk posted a video of an activist being removed after attempting to disrupt the proceedings.

GOP Assemblyman Jake Blumencranz, who represents New York’s 15th District, told Fox News Digital that Kirk was murdered for exercising his free speech and that elected officials should be forced to “reckon with the culture of hate that has been allowed to grow.”
