In a shocking turn of events, NYC’s Muslim mayoral candidate, Ali Khan, received a car bomb threat despite not owning a vehicle. The threat, which was reportedly left on Khan’s voicemail, has left the candidate scratching his head in confusion.
“I don’t even have a car, so I’m not sure why someone would want to bomb it,” Khan said in a statement. “Maybe they were planning to bomb the nearest taxi I hail, who knows.”
The threat has sent shockwaves through the political landscape of New York City, with many questioning the motives of the perpetrator. Some have speculated that it could be a rival candidate trying to sabotage Khan’s campaign, while others believe it could be a disgruntled driver who is tired of Khan’s pro-public transportation stance.
In response to the threat, Khan’s campaign team has beefed up security measures, including hiring a team of bodyguards to escort him to campaign events.
“We take these threats very seriously, even if they are a bit nonsensical,” said Khan’s campaign manager, Sarah Johnson. “We want to ensure that Ali is safe and can continue to focus on his message of unity and progress for all New Yorkers.”
Despite the seriousness of the situation, Khan has managed to find humor in the absurdity of it all.
“I guess this is what they mean by ‘political bombs’,” Khan joked. “I just hope the perpetrator realizes they’ll have to find another way to try and blow up my campaign.”
As the investigation into the threat continues, Khan remains determined to push forward with his campaign, undeterred by the potential dangers that come with seeking public office.
“I may not have a car, but I have a strong will and a dedicated team behind me,” Khan said. “And no amount of bomb threats is going to stop us from bringing positive change to this city.”
With the mayoral race heating up, it seems that Ali Khan’s campaign is truly explosive – in more ways than one.
