(DCNF)—Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld said Monday on “The Five” that Democrat New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani is the “poster boy” for “woke” victimhood, referencing a report that he checked off “African American” on his Columbia University application.
A report released by The New York Times on Thursday said that in 2009 Mamdani selected both “Asian” and “Black or African American” as his racial identity on his Ivy League application. Kellyanne Conway told Gutfeld she believed the biggest scandal from the story is that Mamdani hadn’t been admitted despite his father working at the university at the time.
“Yeah, I want to know how stupid he really is. I mean, his SAT scores must be lower than Jesse’s. But what I love about him, he’s not even Ugandan. You know, by definition, you have to have parents or grandparents who are Ugandan. He was born in Uganda. Both of his parents are Indian, which might be the reason why they left,” Gutfeld said.
“But what’s interesting is he didn’t say he was Indian because he knew they have the highest median household income in the United States. He knew that wouldn’t help him in the oppression Olympics. He was smart enough to see what could get him preferential treatment,” Gutfeld said. “So he adorned himself with a different race, which exposes the lie of identity politics. If it is so unfair to be black in America, why are you pretending to be one?”
In response to the NYT’s findings, Mamdani told the outlet he had checked off the box, saying the application didn’t “have a box for Indian-Ugandans,” so he “checked multiple boxes trying to capture the fullness of my background.”
“Even though these boxes are constraining, I wanted my college application to reflect who I was,” Mamdani told the NYT.
The socialist Democrat was born in Uganda and moved to the U.S. at seven years old, later attending the Bronx High School of Science before applying to universities like Columbia.
“I doubt you can find a single person in America pretending to be white to get ahead. No one wants to be Jesse,” Gutfeld teased. “So this lie of race, it only goes in one direction because it gets you to the front of the line faster because of corporations, human resources, colleges. If they treat you better then they get treated better. It’s a little virtue signal for them that gets them a lot of popularity at cocktail parties.
“It is amazing that this kid has had all the breaks. You cannot get more elite than this guy. And he goes all in on victimhood. He’s the poster boy for this progressive woke shyster,” Gutfeld added. “He pretends to be oppressed in order to oppress because he knows once you get into power, you’re exempt from the very rules you enforce on others.”
During Mamdani’s primary campaign against other Democrat candidates, the 33-year-old heavily emphasized his background as a Muslim, commenting on multiple occasions about his identity.
