California DA reshares Islamophobic posts about NYC's Mamdani, then doubles down [View all]

After resharing multiple social media posts this week linking the election of Zohran Mamdani as mayor of New York to the attacks of 9/11, San Luis Obispo County District Attorney Dan Dow was called out Thursday by the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

In a letter to Dow dated Nov. 6, CAIR-LA’s attorney, Dina Chehata, expressed “deep concern regarding your recent social media posts connecting the election of Zohran Mamdani as New York City’s first Muslim mayor to 9/11.”

Dow reshared multiple posts on his X account @dandow, featuring images of planes hitting the World Trade Center on 9/11.

The first post, which he shared on Tuesday, came from far-right anti-Islam activist Amy Mek, who founded Rise Align Ignite Reclaim Foundation. CAIR defines the organization as an anti-Islam hate group.
