Andrew Cuomo is afraid he'll lose, so his donors want you to fear me. His SuperPAC just sent out a mailer that artificially lengthened and darkened my beard. This is blatant Islamophobia—the kind of racism that explains why MAGA billionaires support his campaign.
Two images of Zohran. On the left is the original from the campaign which shows a close cropped beard. On the right is a version used by Cuomo’s SuperPAC with an artificially longer, darker beard.

Debating reactionaries is *never* a good idea You might win on 'facts', but you'll always lose politically: they are not arguing in good faith, they want their ideas to become seen as acceptable in public discourse And by debating them, you're giving them what they want It really is that simple
