Rita Panahi blasts Mamdani over ties to streamer who said America 'deserved 9/11’

News24 host Rita Panahi blasts Zohran Mamdani for associating with Twitch streamer Hasan Piker, who stated on a livestream that "America deserved 9/11, dude. f**k it, I'm saying it". “It’s hard to believe that less than 25 years after 9/11 New Yorkers elected a mayor who is cosy with Islamists,” Ms Panahi said. “You would have never in a million years predicted that could happen in such a short period of time.”
