On Saturday, I shared that Vice President JD Vance made an appearance to speak to a lively assembly of Marines during the 250th Anniversary of the United States Marine Corps at Camp Pendleton, California.

Before heading to the base, Vance took a moment to weigh in on recent developments surrounding Zohran Mamdani. Mamdani, who has captured the Democratic Party’s support in his bid for the next mayor of New York City, has become a subject of intense discussion.

If you haven’t caught up with the latest updates, Bonchie provides an overview of Mamdani’s recent actions, which suggest he has shed any disguise about his admiration for radical Islamist ideologies:

Today at Masjid At-Taqwa, I had the pleasure of meeting with Imam Siraj Wahhaj, one of the nation’s foremost Muslim leaders and a pillar of the Bed-Stuy community for nearly half a century. I was also joined by CM @dr_yusefsalaam of Harlem. A beautiful Jummah. pic.twitter.com/4kcN4CGlUk

Who is Imam Siraj Wahhaj? That’s a complicated question, not because his background is morally opaque, but because his history of directly supporting Islamic terrorism is so extensive. 

1) He was an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center.

2) He called for establishing an Islamic state in America, calling for Muslim immigrants to “establish Allah’s deen.”

3) He has called for ending democracy in favor of Islamic law. 

4) He testified in defense of Omar Abdel-Rahman, otherwise known as the “Blind Sheik.”

5) He’s repeatedly encouraged Muslims to use political power in America in service to Islam. 

6) He has three children who have been charged with terrorism offenses.

The revelation via the Democrat’s own social media posting on Friday came after months of the campaign have dragged on, with few major national Dems willing to give Mamdani an endorsement. And when confronted by media with pressing questions on Mamdani’s outright refusal to denounce Hamas and radical Muslims, often the result is little more than mealy-mouthed word salad like Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin unleashed in July.

Anyway, in a post on his X account Saturday, the vice president showed he isn’t willing to let the Democrats slide for their hypocrisy over political violence, challenging them to be consistent on the issue when it comes to Mamdani:

I’ve been reliably informed that Democrats are opposed to any kind of political violence, so I look forward to them universally condemning Zohran Mamdani for campaigning with an unindicted co-conspirator in a terrorist plot that killed 6 New Yorkers. pic.twitter.com/opk2er6BnB

Vance wrote “I’ve been reliably informed that Democrats are opposed to any kind of political violence, so I look forward to them universally condemning Zohran Mamdani for campaigning with an unindicted co-conspirator in a terrorist plot that killed 6 New Yorkers.”

In a reply to the tweet, he shared a NY Post story on the radical imam and that damning image of him campaigning with Mamdani. The title spells things out: “New York Post: Mamdani appears smiling, arm-in-arm with unindicted ‘93 WTC bombing co-conspirator and terrorist apologist.”

Vance isn’t wrong here. This absolutely is not something the Democrats want to address, and there’s only one reason why. They can’t square the circle on political violence because it exposes what they and we know about the far-left fringe of the Democrat Party. It’s the primary source of the recent politics-connected violence everyone has been seeing. Unfortunately for them, it’s with this same sector of their base that they’ve thrown in–as the strategy to ensure their future survival as a party. That’s not exactly conservatives’ problem to worry about.

Editor’s Note: The Schumer Shutdown is here. Rather than put the American people first, Chuck Schumer and the radical Democrats forced a government shutdown for healthcare for illegals. They own this.
