Anna Wintour’s praise of NYC First Lady Rama Duwaji exposes Vogue’s politically-influenced hypocrisy
Does Anna Wintour have a new DSA pet?
In a Vogue cover story released Tuesday to promote the upcoming “The Devil Wears Prada” sequel, Wintour and Meryl Streep — who plays Miranda Priestly, the fictionalized version of the powerful former editor — team up for a Q&A conducted by director Greta Gerwig.
The 76-year-old stepped down from the magazine last June but still remains atop Condé Nast as its chief content officer. And never has the icy Wintour looked so playful.
There she is with Streep in an elevator, striking dueling power poses. In another, the busy ladies hold matching cell phones to their ears.
And then there is the interview, where Wintour gushes over a woman who liked reprehensible social media posts about October 7 rape denial.

Everyone’s having fun!
Asked about the art of power dressing, Wintour name-checked Michelle Obama and Rama Duwaji.
“I’m full of admiration for New York City’s new first lady because she looks so cool and wears a lot of vintage — young and modern and also entirely herself,” said Wintour.
Of Melania, she offered this insight: “To be fair, Melania Trump also always looks like herself when she dresses.”
As opposed to … someone else?
It’s true that Duwaji does have a unique personal style, from to bold silhouettes of her vintage clothes to her shaggy, cropped bob.
It’s also true that she has a dodgy, pro-terrorist history.
Duwaji liked a post that called the atrocity of October 7 a “mass rape hoax” that was “fabricated” by the New York Times (despite Hamas broadcasting all the violence and carnage like a snuff reel). Old posts show she railed against US soldiers, praised a Palestinian terrorist, mourned the death of a Hamas propagandist — and dropped an n-bomb and a gay slur for good measure.
It all makes the praise by Wintour — who pretends to preside over good liberal values of decency and kindness — feel so tone deaf. So filled with hypocrisy.
Let’s be frank here. Wintour does not only care about great personal style. She sees someone’s suitability for coverage and praise only through a political spectrum.
And in Wintour’s world, the Dem label is always trés chic — even with the word “socialist” attached.
Republican? Perpetually an unredeemable faux pas. Suitable only for the dumpster pile.
But hey, forget about all that rape denial. Did you see Duwaji’s vintage boots?
Unlike most political spouses, Duwaji enjoys cover thanks to supplicant press and her husband, Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who have bubble wrapped her with the label “private person.”
Therefore, her illustration that accompanied a 2026 essay by virulent antisemite and anti-Israel writer Susan Abulhawa is not up for public scrutiny. Nor is her social media history. Who said Vogue was a feminist publication, anyway?
In 2022, Wintour took a stand against her one-time favorite Kanye West after he unleashed some very ugly sentiments against Jewish people and wore a “White Lives Matter” shirt.
“Anna has had enough,” an insider told Page Six at the time. “She has made it very clear inside Vogue that Kanye is no longer part of the inner circle.”
But when it comes to Duwaji, Wintour is only just warming up — perhaps buttering up the first lady for a dazzling appearance at the upcoming Met Gala.
Vogue has always been a functioning propaganda arm of the DNC, regularly fawning over Dem politicians and first ladies.
Just ask Gavin Newsom, who was profiled by the magazine in February. The author couldn’t even wait until the second line to stroke him. No editorial foreplay at all: “Let’s get this out of the way: He is embarrassingly handsome.”
However, it’s undeniable that the party is struggling to find its identity, so Condé Nast, which is still under Wintour’s watchful eye, has cozied up to the America-hating far left.
In a 2025 profile of streamer and noted Hezbollah fan Hasan Piker, GQ pointed out that he’d said “America deserved 9/11” — then the Condé publication described it as “one of his most infamous wisecracks.”
What a wisenheimer, that guy.
GQ has twice featured DSA City Councilman Chi Ossi as a model. And the recently shuttered Teen Vogue provided manifestos on how to start a revolution and how to have anal sex — two optimal guides for teens.
But remember, there was reportedly a staff walkout when new Vanity Fair editor Mark Guiducci suggested a Melania cover.
Condé Nasties can claim to operate from a place of righteousness — but we know it’s as defined by an elitist progressive bubble.
And Wintour can praise Duwaji’s style all she wants, but she cannot pretend to be the arbiter of decency and morality. She is a partisan opportunist.
