Peter Doocy floats deporting NYC mayoral candidate ‘based on rap lyrics’

Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy asked White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt if New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani should be deported "based on rap lyrics" — even though he is a naturalized U.S. citizen.
"Does President Trump want Zohran Mamdani deported?" Doocy wondered during Monday's White House briefing.
"I haven't heard him say that," Leavitt replied. "I haven't heard him call for that. But certainly he does not want this individual to be elected."
"There's this Congressman Andy Ogles," Doocy noted. "He wants the Attorney General [Pam] Bondi to explore denaturalization proceedings because he thinks Mamdani could have misrepresented or concealed material support for terrorism based on rap lyrics he wrote in 2017."
"Does President Trump think this is a worthwhile use of the Attorney General's time?" the Fox News correspondent pressed.
"Well, I'll let the President speak to that," Leavitt deflected. "I have not seen those claims, but surely if they are true, it's something that should be investigated."
