@Mik said in He’s so pro-Hamas: Her boots are an issue. Srsly. This is where we are as a society. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/zohran-mamdani-s-wife-rama-duwaji-s-boots-spark-backlash/ar-AA1TqgU9 The images, taken in the abandoned City Hall Subway station, were quickly shared online and sparked conversations about the boots, which retail for over $600.
