(NewsNation) — Debra Messing is facing backlash after sharing a political meme on Instagram framing NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani as a “jihadist.”

The “Will & Grace” actress reposted the picture from the account The Persian Jewess on her Instagram Story, showing an image of an edited ballot listing two candidates: "A Democrat. Just a Democrat," and the other that said, "An actual communist jihadist. A literal Karl Marx-quoting, America-hating jihadist."

According to Newsweek, The Persian Jewess page added a caption asking New York voters to "make the right choice" by voting for former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, calling the contest "the battle for Democracy itself."
