Video captures hate-filled bigot in MAGA hat screaming obscenities at NYC mosque
A despicable bigot wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat hurled obscenities at a Brooklyn mosque in a sickening rant that Gov. Kathy Hochul has condemned as a “hateful, offensive display.”
Video of the unidentified hater — posted online by the group Bangladeshi Americans for Political Progress — showed the man screaming horrific slurs through a megaphone Tuesday at the Masjid Nur-Al Islam mosque in Kensington, the group said.
The man — who wore a red Trump hat and a New York Jets jacket — then walked around the brick building marveling at its entrances before making evidence-free claims that the mosque sent money to Hezbollah.
An NYPD representative said he didn’t have any info about the incident when The Post called on Sunday.
Politicians condemned the mystery sicko’s rants — with Hochul decrying them on X on Friday as a “hateful, offensive display.
“It will not be tolerated in New York,” the governor wrote. “No one should live in fear because of how they worship, and we will continue to root out Islamophobic hate in every corner of our state.”
The Bangladeshi-American group that posted the video claimed on its account that the man was a member of Betar, a century-old group of extreme Zionists that’s been deemed a hate group by the Anti-Defamation League.
“BAPP condemns the disgusting, inflammatory, reprehensible Islamophobic attack at the Masjid Nur-Al Islam in Kensington, Brooklyn,” the group wrote.
“Enough. Our community will no longer silently endure Islamophobic threats and violence,” the group said.
“We demand the 66th precinct, Mayor, city council, and state officials investigate this as a hate crime and hold Betar accountable,” the post continued. “To our fellow faith communities: stand with us. Your silence or your solidarity—choose now.”
The official account for Betar US responded to the post by denying responsibility and countering with a veiled threat.
“Betar was not responsible and we urge you to watch your words,” the group said. “We are not Jews with trembling knees.”
Regardless of who did it, the incident left mosque-goers shaken.
“He was cursing [at the] women’s door,” mosque board member Mohammed Yousuf told the Daily News over the weekend. “And kids … they come to school here. We feel bad about this incident.”
Yousef added that neighborhood residents subscribe to a cornucopia of faiths — yet there has never been a problem.
“This is a Jewish school right here,” he said. “We’ve never had any issues.”
Yousef said an NYPD detective showed up last week to talk about the incident.
“He was [telling] everybody, ‘Don’t worry, We’ll take care of this thing,’ ” Yousuf said.
“At least they are trying to find out who that guy is.”
