The Rev. Al Sharpton on Saturday slammed what he called “ugly Islamophobia” sweeping New York City\u2019s mayoral race, accusing some of labeling every Muslim a terrorist in order to attack Democrat candidate Zohran Mamdani.<\/a><\/p>\n

Sharpton, an MSNBC host and progressive activist, was speaking at an event he was hosting for Mamdani in Harlem, and the mayoral candidate was throwing jabs too \u2014 accusing President Donald Trump<\/a> of smearing and gutting welfare programs. The Democratic socialist drew parallels to the Reconstruction-era agency created to help newly freed slaves to hammer home his point.<\/p>\n

The pair were joined by Pastor Miles Travis Boyd, whose mother perished on 9\/11, as well as other faith leaders.<\/p>\n

“I am outraged at the ugly Islamophobia that has been used in this campaign to act as though every Muslim is a terrorist and to act like something ugly, as what happened to us on 9\/11<\/a> is an insult to the intelligence of all New Yorkers,” Sharpton said to a lively crowd at the House of Justice, his National Action Network headquarters.<\/p>\n

“If you can\u2019t get a vote on your record, don\u2019t play us against each other,” he added.<\/p>\n

He argued that just showing up at someone\u2019s campaign or shaking their hand doesn\u2019t mean you share blame for whatever they\u2019ve been accused of. Sharpton was likely referencing a meeting Mamdani had last week<\/a> with Siraj Wahhaj, a Brooklyn imam who is an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and who has been linked to other terrorist activity in the United States.<\/p>\n

Sharpton went on to say that he denounced both the Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attacks in Israel and the subsequent war in Gaza.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m against Islamophobia. But to bring it into the politics of the biggest city in the world should not be allowed to go unchecked,” Sharpton said. “We are not going to sit by silently while they do this. We are Christian. I\u2019m a born-again Baptist, but I embrace the Muslim community<\/a> to come from the shadows. The Jewish community to come from the shadows. And let\u2019s walk down Broadway together.”<\/p>\n

OBAMA’S CALL TO MAMDANI ‘NORMALIZES’ THE DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST CANDIDATE, SHARPTON SAYS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

He then pitched his flag in Mamdani\u2019s corner after telling the audience that Mamdani was the only candidate who turned up to their events.<\/p>\n

“For fairness, for affordability, for those who\u2019ve been victimized \u2014 I bring you the candidate who showed up, Zohran Mamdani,” Sharpton said, shaking Mamdani\u2019s hand as the crowd cheered and clapped in approval.<\/p>\n

Mamdani followed Sharpton\u2019s remarks with a speech invoking America\u2019s Reconstruction era, accusing Trump of gutting modern welfare programs, saying they represented today\u2019s version of the Freedmen\u2019s Bureau. The agency provided relief, education, and helped reunite families of enslaved people and poor whites in the post-Civil War South.<\/p>\n

“If the Freedmen\u2019s Bureau existed today, Donald Trump would pilfer its coffers and smear it as socialist overreach,” Mamdani said. “He would do to it what he has done to SNAP, Medicare and Medicaid, to any program that dares to uplift the poor rather than comfort the wealthy.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for comment but did not immediately hear back.<\/p>\n

Mamdani said his campaign was rooted in moral and economic renewal stretching from Harlem to Queens to Bay Ridge.<\/p>\n

“Over the past 12 months, my friends, we have built a movement around creating a society we would all like to see a society where the poor receive aid, where those who work long nights are set free in the day where injustice is banished from our city and where faith is restored in City Hall,” Mamdani said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
