Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani on Wednesday ducked questions about his links to Hasan Piker — drawing outrage for refusing to condemn the left influencer’s vile statement that “America deserved 9/11.”
Oren Barzilay, president of EMS Local 2507 representing the city’s 4,100 paramedics and EMTs, blasted the socialist Queens assemblyman as “cowardly” for refusing to address his association with Piker, a Twitch streamer with a history of spewing hate .
“For him to associate with someone who thinks we deserved 9/11 is outrageous and should not be tolerated. It shows that Mamdani possibly feels the same way — that America deserved it,” Barzilay fumed to The Post. 4
“It’s cowardly for him not to answer that question — by deflecting.”
