This week in Whoppers: Mamdani distorts the truth of 9/11; Hasan Piker praises Mao Zedong again, and more

This statistic

“Close to 25 years later, more people have died from 9/11-related illnesses than were killed on the day itself” — Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Tuesday

We say: Mamdani will stop at nothing to deflect from the core truths of the 9/11 terror attack, now making the insane case that Rudy Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg are the real culprits.

Hey, Mr. Mayor — don’t forget, the air was fine before the planes hit the towers.

This comparison

“Mao Zedong, unlike George Washington, did not own slaves.” — Hasan Piker, Wednesday

We say: In fact, Mao had 660 million slaves, the entire population of China, and he killed 70 million of them. Nice try, though.

This inquiry

“Why does algebra put letters into numbers?” — Tucker Carlson, Monday

We say: Yes, Tucker, we know, math is hard, but try to keep up — the letters stand for changing values, like when you go faster in your car or interest rates go up.

(Wait until he hears about irrational numbers!)

This prescription

“The conditions under which [GLP-1 drugs] become necessary are shaped by a world fixated on genociding fat people.” — Author Da’Shaun L. Harrison at Socialism 2026 Conference, Saturday

We say: GLP-1 drugs, like diet and exercise, help fat people get less fat and be more healthy.

People these days are playing fast and loose with the word “genocide,” but this one takes the cake.
