NEW YORK, NY — The leader of America's most prominent city experienced a family crisis today, as reports indicated that New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani's aunt felt slightly uncomfortable at a supermarket in the wake of the Australian Islamic terror attack.
After the brutal shooting at Bondi Beach in which multiple people were murdered by Muslim terrorists, Mamdani held a press conference in the Big Apple to solemnly inform the public of the tragedy of his aunt being made to feel slightly uncomfortable in public.
"This is a sad day for my family," Mamdani told reporters. "I regret to inform everyone that my aunt, whom I love dearly, suffered a horrifying ordeal. She was at the supermarket this morning, and she said there were a couple of people who looked at her in a way that made her feel uncomfortable. This is a tremendous tragedy for us. We must do better than this. We will not stop until we build a future where Muslims in New York do not have to live in this type of fear. I thank those of you in the media who have offered your condolences, and I ask the public for privacy for my family during this difficult time."
Sources from within the mayor-elect's inner circle suggested that he and his family were taking time to grieve and process the traumatic experience before determining what steps could be taken to prevent other Muslim aunts from suffering the same fate.
At publishing time, Mamdani had announced that, as mayor of New York, he would ban Jewish people from beaches to keep incidents like the Bondi Beach shooting from happening in the future.
