Scott Jennings Doesn’t Fall For Attempt To Downplay Mamdani’s Picture With Terrorist

Salem Radio Network host Scott Jennings reminded “CNN NewsNight” host Abby Phillip multiple times Thursday night that New York City Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani took a photo with an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center whose children were later convicted on terrorism charges.

Mamdani made a campaign appearance at Bedford-Stuyvesant’s Masjid At-Taqwa mosque on Oct. 17, where he praised Siraj Wahhaj and posted a photo with the imam on X. Jennings criticized the photo, reminding Phillip that former Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York, who is running an independent campaign for mayor, “didn’t make [Mamdani] take that picture.”

“Mamdani took that picture and seems to be pretty proud of it. That’s a legitimate thing to debate,” Jennings said, prompting Phillip to ask, “Isn’t it fair to say that he would cheer on 9/11?”
