Mamdani-endorsed socialist Darializa Chevalier previously posted about using US flag as a napkin

Darializa Avila Chevalier, a socialist endorsed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, triumphed in the Democratic primary for New York City’s 13th Congressional District, narrowly beating five-term incumbent Rep. Adriano Espaillat. This victory is notable not only for Chevalier's political stance but also due to her past social media post about using the US flag as a napkin, which has stirred controversy and debate. Her win reflects shifting dynamics within the Democratic Party and highlights the ongoing tensions between progressive and moderate factions.
