(NY Post) Andrew Yang’s new mayoral campaign manager Sasha Ahuja is a longtime progressive activist with ties to controversial Palestinian-rights fighter Linda Sarsour, a review of social media records by the Post shows.
Sarsour, 41, has for years been a deeply polarizing figure in city politics, where critics frequently accuse her of anti-Semitism.
“I understand why Andrew Yang hired her; trying to project yourself as a progressive,” Mark Meyer Appel, founder of the Bridge Multicultural Advocacy Project, told the Post. Appel, a supporter of Yang opponent Eric Adams, said Ahuja has been “hanging out with some real trouble makers.”
Polling suggests Yang is the undisputed frontrunner in the race for City Hall.
