Among the many stories that National Zero missed over the weekend was the “IED” thrown during a Saturday protest outside of Gracie Mansion in New York City, a reportedly functional bomb aimed not at Mayor Zohran Mamdani, but increasingly notorious pardoned Capitol rioter Jake Lang, 30, a prolific shit-stirrer supposedly running in the Florida GOP Senate primary against creepy incumbent Ashley Moody. Two teenage Pennsylvania men of Muslim backgrounds who allegedly pledged allegiance to ISIS were arrested at the scene and face grievous federal charges.
Maybe if he wore urban-camo pajamas instead of jungle-camo he might not’ve been a visible target:
This is some of the most harrowing footage I’ve ever seen in my life.
The moment the nail bomb detonates but doesn’t go off 🙏
This is literally a miracle in Jesus name.
I am so grateful to be alive. My life has a purpose, grand and wonderful in Gods tapestry of redemption ✝️ pic.twitter.com/JfRbcyHStz— Jake Lang – January 6 Political Prisoner 🇺🇸 (@JakeLang) March 7, 2026
Anyway on Sunday the MAGA grifters lost their shit over how Mamdani worded a tweet, because how dare the Muslim mayor take exception to organized harassment on the basis of his faith:
Mentioning “terrorism” when two Muslims attempt to detonate a nail bomb = ❌
Mentioning “white supremacy” when two Muslims attempt to detonate a nail bomb = ✅ https://t.co/Hy67RY1h2L

“Yesterday, white supremacist Jake Lang organized a protest outside Gracie Mansion rooted in bigotry and racism. Such hate has no place in New York City. It is an affront to our city’s values and the unity that defines who we are. What followed was even more disturbing. Violence at a protest is never acceptable. The attempt to use an explosive device and hurt others is not only criminal, it is reprehensible and the antithesis of who we are. I want to thank the brave men and women of the NYPD who acted quickly to keep New Yorkers safe. Our officers ran toward danger without hesitation, demonstrating once again the courage and dedication it takes to protect this city every single day. My administration is closely monitoring the situation and I remain in close contact with our Police Commissioner,” Mamdani wrote, much to the chagrin of those who know that correctly identifying Lang as a white supremacist makes it more difficult to portray him as an innocent victim.
And now it’s even harder as you can see in the images at the top, surfaced by @RightWingCope, in which Lang pretty conspires to commit statutory rape as the age of consent in Arizona is 18, not 16.
