(DCNF)—Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld said Monday on “The Five” that Democrat New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani is the “poster boy” for “woke” victimhood, referencing a report that he checked off “African American” on his Columbia University application.
A report released by The New York Times on Thursday said that in 2009 Mamdani selected both “Asian” and “Black or African American” as his racial identity on his Ivy League application. Kellyanne Conway told Gutfeld she believed the biggest scandal from the story is that Mamdani hadn’t been admitted despite his father working at the university at the time.
“Yeah, I want to know how stupid he really is. I mean, his SAT scores must be lower than Jesse’s. But what I love about him, he’s not even Ugandan. You know, by definition, you have to have parents or grandparents who are Ugandan. He was born in Uganda. Both of his parents are Indian, which might be the reason why they left,” Gutfeld said.
“But what’s interesting is he didn’t say he was Indian because he knew they have the highest median household income in the United States. He knew that wouldn’t help him in the oppression Olympics. He was smart enough to see what could get him preferential treatment,” Gutfeld said. “So he adorned himself with a different race, which exposes the lie of identity politics. If it is so unfair to be black in America, why are you pretending to be one?”
In response to the NYT’s findings, Mamdani told the outlet he had checked off the box, saying the application didn’t “have a box for Indian-Ugandans,” so he “checked multiple boxes trying to capture the fullness of my background.”
“Even though these boxes are constraining, I wanted my college application to reflect who I was,” Mamdani told the NYT.
The socialist Democrat was born in Uganda and moved to the U.S. at seven years old, later attending the Bronx High School of Science before applying to universities like Columbia.
“I doubt you can find a single person in America pretending to be white to get ahead. No one wants to be Jesse,” Gutfeld teased. “So this lie of race, it only goes in one direction because it gets you to the front of the line faster because of corporations, human resources, colleges. If they treat you better then they get treated better. It’s a little virtue signal for them that gets them a lot of popularity at cocktail parties.
“It is amazing that this kid has had all the breaks. You cannot get more elite than this guy. And he goes all in on victimhood. He’s the poster boy for this progressive woke shyster,” Gutfeld added. “He pretends to be oppressed in order to oppress because he knows once you get into power, you’re exempt from the very rules you enforce on others.”
During Mamdani’s primary campaign against other Democrat candidates, the 33-year-old heavily emphasized his background as a Muslim, commenting on multiple occasions about his identity.

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
