Washington Examiner columnist Joe Concha said New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani “sympathizes” with “the wrong side” in the aftermath of an attempted bombing in the city.

Mamdani, New York City’s first Muslim mayor, celebrated Ramadan with Mahmoud Khalil, an anti-Israel protester who was detained by federal immigration officers last year, on Sunday. The mayor’s dinner with Khalil was held a day after police stopped an attempted bombing near the mayor’s residence, Gracie Mansion, arresting two suspects in the attempt.
