EXCLUSIVE: Woke Left May Regret Boosting Mamdani’s ‘Fusion Of Communism And Islam,’ Veteran Says

WASHINGTON —  The left may rue the day it embraced a “fusion of communism and Islam” under New York City Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani, a conservative policy expert told the 🏢Daily Caller News Foundation.

Mamdani’s movement could end up supercharging Islamist political influence over the Big Apple, Center for Renewing America senior advisor and veteran Wade Miller told the DCNF Tuesday at the National Conservatism Conference in Washington, D.C. The self-identified socialist Muslim and top contender for mayor shows how the “woke” left courts support from radical Muslims who ultimately are opposed to their socially liberal values, Miller said.

“It is an extremely repressive culture that is teaming up with a very woke agenda, so seemingly very confusing. So, you have on the one hand, Islamist networks and on the other hand, far left, mostly white liberal voters who are for transgender agendas or for boys in girls’ sports,” Miller, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran who served in Iraq, said.

“It doesn’t make sense unless you understand that those white liberals are being taken advantage of by people who have an agenda and want political power and so they will say what they want, they will do what they want,” Miller added. “But ultimately, both sides agree that the prevalent culture that underlies all of it has to be completely erased, and in this they find a common cause. And so they deal with each other.”
