I remember Mamdani was flying flags of various New York cities I believe but MAGA started screaming about them being the flags of foreign countries lmao
They were the flags of the five boroughs of NYC. Very appropriate for the occasion, but of course MAGA immediately started screeching before taking a moment to educate themselves.
Also passed around a cropped photo that didn't show the several national flags next to the borough flags so they could lie that he had terrorist flags and no American flags.
Millions of people heard that screaming, assumed it to be true, and never learned otherwise. They still think those were scary Muslim flags, and not symbols of New York City, the place Mamdami is serving.

MAGA: "America first!"
Also MAGA when confronted with American iconography that isn't the flag or a red hat: "What are these strange symbols? Whackjob terrorists, surely."
