For conservative media, Zohran Mamdani quickly becomes attack target

New York City's incoming mayor, Zohran Mamdani, hasn't taken office yet. But he's already the new avatar of evil for conservative media figures. He's been called downright sinister and incompatible with America. His labels include commie, Marxist, jihadist sympathizer and seething leftist. Fox News' Laura Ingraham warned her viewers not to be fooled by smiling socialists who rule like Soviet tyrants. A New York Post post-election cover that depicted Mamdani holding aloft the Soviet Union's hammer and sickle symbol sold out on newsstands by noon and was offered on e-Bay for $75. By the end of the day, the Post was selling baby onesies and commemorative plates emblazoned with the cover. Already, conservative outlets see Mamdani joining Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton as someone guaranteed to make their audiences' blood boil. And by doing so, they can help Republicans in the midterm elections. It's very clear that he's going to be the No. 1 target of right-w

Mamdani's mayoral campaign drew inspiration from Bollywood to bodegas

The vivid blue campaign signs with bold orange lettering were impossible to miss as Zohran Mamdani made his historic and improbable run for New York City mayor this summer. On storefront windows and telephone poles from Queens to the Bronx, the Zohran for New York City signs stood out from the standard red, white and blue campaign fodder. The lettering was seen by many as an intentional reference to old-school Bollywood posters a subtle nod to Mamdani's Indian heritage. But Aneesh Bhoopathy, the Philadelphia-based graphic designer behind the visuals, said the campaign also drew from the vibrant primary colours that help bodegas, yellow cabs, hot dog vendors and other small businesses stand out amid the city bustle. The stylised font with its drop shadow effect and vintage comic book look was meant to evoke the old school, hand-painted signs that can still be found in some neighbourhoods, he said. Succinctly, it's New York, said Bhoopathy, who previously lived in New York and hel
