• It seems not to matter that the lie has been discovered. 
• The entire story of his sweet, beautiful, loving, caring Auntie that stopped riding the subway after 9/11 because she wore a hijab….it was ALL A LIE!

HEADLINE: Zohran Mamdani didn’t tell the whole truth about his hijab-wearing ‘aunt’ who feared for safety post-9/11 by Matthew Fischetti and Hannah Flerick

• The socialist mayoral front-runner made the revelation during a press conference Monday after critics seized on his story, sharing photos on social media of a woman they identified as his aunt, who was pictured without a hijab. 
• Internet sleuths later claimed that a public health consultant, Masuma Mamdani, was the Democratic nominee’s only aunt, posting photos of her in which she appeared without a hijab and noting that she lived in Tanzania on 9/11.
• Mamdani was prompted to do some damage control and clarify he wasn’t referring to a biological aunt.
