A proposed flier from a super PAC supporting Andrew Cuomo’s mayoral bid featured an image of Zohran Mamdani with a thicker beard. Mr. Mamdani called the manipulation Islamophobic.

Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander — have cross endorsed each other in a last-ditch attempt to take down frontrunner Andrew Cuomo.

The PAC said the image was released without its consent. A Cuomo spokesperson called the picture "absurd and disrespectful."

Mayoral candidates Brad Lander and Andrew Cuomo tussled at the second Democratic primary debate Thursday evening over the former governor’s description of immigrants — an emotional flashpoint as protests over ICE arrests grip cities around the country.
