From NPR.

New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani is criticizing a social media post by Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama, who re-posted an image yesterday of the mayor next to a photo of the September 11th terror attacks.

Mamdani, the city’s first Muslim mayor, has been the subject of repeated verbal attacks during this Ramadan season, the latest from Alabama’s Tuberville, who reposted the photo of Mamdani on X next to the burning twin towers with the words “the enemy is inside the gates.” Speaking at a public iftar dinner, held to break the daily Ramadan fast, Mamdani said many American Muslims face similar bigotry.

Republican lawmakers have been silent about Tuberville’s post. Democrats have condemned it, with New York Senator Chuck Schumer calling them “fundamentally un-American.” Tuberville’s office did not respond to NPR’s request for comment.
