Malliotakis joins Stefanik in condemning swastikas painted on NYC Jewish school, calling out Mamdani

New York GOP Reps. Elise Stefanik and Nicole Malliotakis reacted on Wednesday to swastikas that were found painted on a New York City Jewish school, calling out the city's mayor-elect, Zohran Mamdani.

Two red swastikas were painted on the front of Magen David Yeshiva overnight Wednesday, just hours after Mamdani was elected, the New York Post reported.

Police said that security staff called 911 when they discovered the symbols around 6:30 a.m. There is one suspect who wore all black during the vandalism and fled on foot, and has yet to be arrested, according to police.

Stefanik posted on X on Wednesday regarding the incident, saying, "The day after NYC elects a pro-Hamas Antisemite for Mayor, Nazi swastikas are found painted on the walls of Magen David Yeshiva in Brooklyn.

"This is reprehensible and unacceptable and should serve as a wake-up call that Mamdani is ushering in the pro-terrorist antisemitic takeover of NYC aided and abetted by the Worst Governor in America @KathyHochul. Both Mamdani and Hochul are SILENT and have failed to condemn."

Malliotakis' post was reposted by Stefanik, and reads, "Brooklyn’s Jewish community wakes up to two swastikas at Magen David Yeshiva in Gravesend. While @NYPDHateCrimes investigates, the Mayor-elect must unequivocally condemn this hateful graffiti…Time to represent and protect ALL New Yorkers."
