Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) claims that New York City will be brought “all the way down” if democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani becomes the city’s first Muslim mayor.
The Alabama Republican, while appearing on Fox Business’ “Kudlow” on Monday, told host Larry Kudlow that he isn’t ready for a Muslim to be mayor of the most populous city in the United States.
“We oughta pack him up and send him home,” Tuberville added about Mamdani.
“My God, we do not need that anywhere in this country, especially in New York,” Tuberville continued in speaking about Mamdani. “You know, it’s ― what a great city that was. But he’s gonna manage to bring it all the way down.”
He went on to allege that the bustling city is “headed [in] that direction” with “no law enforcement and all those crazy things that the Democrats are coming up with.”
Wrapping up his insults, Tuberville added, “You know, we’ve got a huge problem in this country, Larry, with Sharia law and the Muslims trying to take over all the areas in our country. And so, I hope we wake up and smell the roses.”
Mamdani’s office didn’t immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment.
The New York mayoral race has garnered national attention from political figures and citizens, as it will determine a range of critical issues for New Yorkers, including affordability and crime.
Last month, Trump, who is from New York, threatened to cut off the city’s federal funding if the Mamdani wins the mayoral election.
