British-American journalist Mehdi Hasan has called out Eric Trump for his recent comments against New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, accusing him of spreading misinformation about the Indian-origin politician's views. In a recent interview with Fox News, Eric Trump alleged that Mamdani 'hates the Indian population' and has a 'socialist' and 'communist' ideology. However, Hasan quickly fired back, pointing out that Mamdani's Indian heritage makes such claims baseless. Mamdani, the son of Indian-American filmmaker Mira Nair, made history by winning the New York mayoral election with over 50% of the vote. He is set to become the city's first Muslim, Indian-origin mayor and the youngest person to hold the post in over a century. Despite his electoral success, Mamdani has faced scrutiny from US President Donald Trump, who has threatened to cut funding for New York if he were elected. Hasan's sharp retort, 'Zohran Mamdani *is* Indian,' highlights the inaccuracies in Eric Trump's comments. The exchange has sparked renewed attention on the mayoral election and the politics surrounding it.
