Journalist Mehdi Hasan criticised US Vice-President JD Vance for mocking Zohran Mamdani over his "aunt didn't feel safe in hijab after 9/11" statement. "Imagine being married to a Brown woman...then publicly mocking other Brown people," Hasan said. Trump's ally Laura Loomer replied, "Vance's wife (Usha) isn't a Muslim...MAGA isn't going to ever support a Muslim being in the White House."
