Zohran Mamdani trashed Barack Obama as ‘pretty damn evil’ in resurfaced, pro-Edward Snowden tweets

Zohran Mamdani, a socialist running for mayor, criticized Barack Obama in old tweets, calling him “evil” and a liar, questioning his progressive values. In one tweet from 2013, Mamdani questioned Obama’s association with Senator Ed Markey and labeled him as the “bad man.” He also expressed distrust in Obama following Edward Snowden’s NSA revelations. Despite Mamdani’s criticisms, a recent Gallup poll showed Obama with a 96% approval rating among Democrats. Mamdani’s campaign has sparked controversy, with some criticizing his remarks as divisive and disrespectful to Obama’s legacy. Mamdani’s team defended him, attributing the backlash to fear of his growing campaign momentum and emphasizing his commitment to making New York City more affordable for all residents.
