Vile racial remarks have surfaced from a former aide of New York City socialist Mayor Zorhan Mamdani as she makes a run for Congress.
Darializa Avila Chevalier, who was the lead for Mamdani’s campaign in the Bronx and Upper Manhattan areas, had her racially charged uploads to X in 2019 brought back to light, according to the New York Post.
‘Black men [handshake emoji] Arab men fetishizing ugly colonizer women,’ the 32-year-old allegedly wrote in a September 2019.
Chevalier, who is currently on the campaign trail in hopes of representing Harlem’s 13th Congressional District, also detailed an incident with a ‘white lady’ who questioned her anti-Israeli shirt.
‘I held the door on an old white lady at Popeyes… Her: is that a BDS shirt? Me: Yes, she wrote, referring to the “Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions” campaign against Israel and Israeli-owned businesses, “Her: Do you know what they do to– Door closed before I could find out what they do,’ she wrote on X in September 2019, as cited by the Post.
The uploads were published by an X account, which at the time was Twitter, named darializabonet, which could no longer be found.
Chevalier trails behind incumbent Rep. Adriano Espaillat by 14 points, according to a poll conducted toward the end of March by The City.
She also had a successful first quarter of the year, funding outraising Espaillat $270,000 to his $230,000, according to campaign finance reports.
Chevalier launched her bid for Congress in November, following Mamdani’s win for mayor, appearing to ride the moment of the democratic socialist movement.
She has pledged to legalize prostitution and private drug use, as well as abolish prisons, according to her DSA candidate questionnaire.
Additionally, she called for the abolishment of Immigration Customs Enforcement and the end of US military support for Israel.
The Congress hopeful boasted on her campaign site about releasing immigrants who were allegedly illegally detained from ICE detention centers and highlighted how she has protested outside of Trump Tower.
Furthermore, she credited herself as a leader of the ‘tentefada’ encampments at Columbia University, which she attended from 2012 to 2016.
