Maine’s only top liberal arts college can now claim to have spawned the first communist, Muslim, Jew-hating mayor of America’s largest city.
Zohran Mamdani, 34, Bowdoin College class of 2014, kicked humiliated former NY Democrat Gov. Andrew Cuomo, 67, to the moon and back in Tuesday’s election.
Voters had a choice between a young Democratic socialist who hates Jews and cops, and an old washed-up liberal who allegedly groped so many women that he had to resign as governor.
Mamdani’s chances improved drastically as soon as the polls opened and voters discovered that not only was the Muslim millennial listed twice on the ballot, giving who double the opportunities to collect a check, for Mayor Eric Adams was also listed on the ballot despite having dropped out of the race weeks ago. Plus, Cuomo, the only realistic hope at blocking Mamdani’s win, was relegated to the bottom right corner of the ballot.
When the fat lady sang, the radical flank of The Big Apple took a chance on the Muslim who thought Bowdoin was infiltrated by white supremacists.
While at Bowdoin from 2010-2014, Mamdani railed in the school newspaper about being an oppressed minority in a field of white lilies.
It was also during his time in Maine that he founded the Bowdoin chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine.
He also led a campaign to have Bowdoin join an academic boycott of Israel, citing its “oppressive occupation and racist policies.”
In the Bowdoin Orient newspaper published on Halloween, student Abdullah Hashimi, class of 2027, wrote a fawning piece about how the Uganda-born Mamdani went “from the Bowdoin bubble to the big city.”
Hashimi quoted from one of Mamdani’s columns in 2013 whining about the Orient’s alleged racist management in response to a white student who had defended the Orient’s op-ed page as not needing additional “diversity” of thought.
“The pervasive male whiteness of the opinion pages does not stand alone but rather builds on the sadly still-present white male monopolization of both discourse and understanding,” Mamdani wrote. “While whiteness is not homogeneous, white privilege is.”
