After Zohran Mamdani’s primary victory in the New York City Democratic mayoral primary, far-right supporters of Donald Trump have begun circulating edited images of the Statue of Liberty wearing a burqa.
The image that has gone viral was shared by Republican lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Greene. The image is that of the Statue Of Liberty’s Lady Liberty, but a black cloth draped all over her.
The US representative for Georgia’s 14th congressional district since 2021 captioned the photo: “This hits hard".
Marjorie Taylor Greene, a hardline Republican from Georgia, rose to prominence as a vocal supporter of Donald Trump’s MAGA movement. Known for her far-right views and conspiracy theories, she has frequently courted controversy in Congress and remains a key figure in the nationalist, pro-Trump wing of the Republican Party.
On Tuesday evening, the 33-year-old Mamdani marked his stunning political ascension when he declared victory in the Democratic primary from a Queens rooftop bar after former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo conceded.
