Sen. Tuberville Warns of ‘Completely Muslim’ New York Under Mayor-Elect Mamdani

Rudy Giuliani appeared on American Agenda on November 5, 2025, where Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., made alarming claims about New York City’s future following the mayoral election. Tuberville stated that the city would be “completely Muslim in three or four years” under the leadership of Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist who recently won the race.

Tuberville criticized Mamdani during an appearance on Steve Bannon’s “WarRoom” podcast, suggesting that the incoming mayor’s policies would reshape New York into a city dominated by what he described as Muslim influence. He claimed that Mamdani’s agenda, which includes freezing rents for 2 million tenants and expanding free public services, would lead to widespread societal changes.

Mamdani, 34, became New York City’s first Muslim mayor-elect and the first person of South Asian descent to hold the position. His platform emphasizes affordable housing, universal childcare, and free public transportation. The election saw record voter turnout, with over 2 million ballots cast for the first time since 1969.

Tuberville also referenced previous political tensions, including President Donald Trump’s criticism of Mamdani as a “communist” and his derogatory remarks about Jewish voters supporting the candidate. Tuberville further warned that Mamdani’s leadership would bring “Sharia law” to New York, urging Americans to “wake up and smell the roses.”

Mamdani has faced scrutiny for his stance on international issues, including criticism of the Israeli government. Tuberville previously suggested that a Mamdani victory would lead to “bringing New York all the way down,” advocating for the mayor-elect’s removal from office.
