@gh0st16071: After Zohran Mamdani won last year, Nancy Mace sent out a fundraising email warning that New York had “voted to elect a man who’s bringing SHARIA LAW to America.” This fall, with the Michigan race tightening, Sen. Mike Lee posted: “Michiganders don’t want sharia law. Neither do Americans as a whole.” A week later: “Don’t like sharia law? Vote for Republicans.” The president went further and called Abdul El-Sayed a “terrorist sympathizer.” On Sunday, El-Sayed answered all of it in four words: “Shawarma law must be obeyed.” (A Detroit shawarma spot he plugged on the campaign trail has been packed since he won.) Then he showed up to a Diwali celebration in marigold garlands. Mamdani, now the mayor, posted a Diwali video for New York City. Last year, as a candidate, he spent the night visiting four temples across Queens. Both of them are Muslim, and both of them showed up for their Hindu neighbors. Now check the vice president’s account. JD Vance’s wife was raised Hindu, and her parents are Hindu. Last year, his own boss lit diyas in the Oval Office. As of this morning, Vance hadn’t posted a word about Diwali. His most recent post congratulated Stephen Miller on his promotion. Respecting someone else’s faith doesn’t cost you yours. Only one side actually proves that. Happy Diwali to everyone still celebrating. 🪔 #seneterelect #abdulelsayed #zohranmamdani #america #newsforyou
