2/4 🧵 The article centers on Zul Mohamed, a Pakistan-born candidate running for mayor in Carrollton, Texas. Armstrong highlights reported remarks where Mohamed says no veteran made any sacrifice, that he does not support the US military, and that he does not support the United States. From there, the piece frames those comments not as edgy politics, but as evidence of open hostility toward the institutions a public official would be expected to serve.
