- Duwaji was also linked to reposts criticizing U.S. service members and statements about Israel, including messages saying Tel Aviv should not exist.
- The Free Beacon reported a 2013 post from an X account attributed to Duwaji that used a racial slur when she was about 15 years old.
- Following the coverage, an old X account associated with Duwaji under the handle @_RamaDee was deactivated, while several outlets noted they had not independently verified all archived material.
- The mayor said his wife holds no formal role and is a private person, and the latest scrutiny follows earlier reports of her Instagram likes on posts celebrating the Oct. 7 Hamas attack.
