‘Lucas Mamdani’ Did NOT Buy NYC Properties Through Holding Company Co-Owned With Bernie Sanders — Mayor Does Not Have A Brother Named ‘Lucas Mamdani’
Did a “Lucas Mamdani”, brother to New York City’s mayor, buy properties with U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders to financially benefit from new city policies on affordable housing? No, that’s not true: Lead Stories did not find evidence to support the existence of any sibling of Mayor Zohran Mamdani. The claim originated from a page with a satire label that was later cropped out of the image that went viral.
The claim appeared in a post (archived here) published on X on January 7, 2026. It began:

About Satire
Before you complain and decide satire is synonymous with “comedy”:
sat·ire
ˈsaˌtī(ə)r
noun
The use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people’s stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.
Everything on this website is fiction. It is not a lie and it is not fake news because it is not real. If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined. Any similarities between this site’s pure fantasy and actual people, places, and events are purely coincidental and all images should be considered altered and satirical. See above if you’re still having an issue with that satire thing.
Articles from Blair’s sites frequently get copied by “real” fake news sites that omit the satire disclaimer and other hints that the stories are fake. One of the most persistent networks of such sites is run by a man from Pakistan named Kashif Shahzad Khokhar (aka “DashiKashi”) who has spammed hundreds of such stolen stories into conservative and right-wing Facebook pages in order to profit from the ad revenue.
