Two quotes from a post by Instapundit Reynolds, about the background of Zohran Mamdani. I wonder if they are accurate?
Mamdani’s mother is a world-famous, Academy Award-nominated Bollywood director worth tens of millions of dollars. His father is a chaired professor at Columbia.
He says he “grew up in the third world” but he was living in the United States attending private school since he was 7 years old—that’s not “code switching,” that’s lying.
In current slang, Mamdani is a nepo baby from a privileged background trying to claim “victim” status he clearly doesn’t deserve. It explains why he is so at ease and charming, however. He resembles AOC, only much more so.
