Zohran at 9-11?

 The Mamdani campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Mamdani — who has distanced himself from his past “defund the police” views — also drew ire this week, ahead of the 24th anniversary of the attacks, for his association to Hasan Piker, a popular far-left influencer who once said that “America deserved 9/11.”  NY Post

Curtis Sliwa Attacks 9/11 Families Who Don't Want Zohran at the Memorial  

It’s a small world in NYC politics as reporters run into Curtis Sliwa in Midtown after mayor’s presser. He’s asked many including what he thinks about the campaign to stop Mamdani from attending the 9/11 ceremony. “Ridiculous,” he said. “He’s the mayor. Stop being sore losers.”

. . . "Mamdani skipped the 1993 World Trade Center bombing memorial months ago, but vows he will be at the 9/11 ceremony to represent New Yorkers.

Reporters came across Curtis Sliwa in the City and asked him what he thought. He called the push to ban Mamdani “ridiculous,” while talking with reporters Thursday, adding:

“He’s the mayor. Stop being sore losers! You knew this is Zohran Mamdani. He was never a fake, phony, fraudulent, fugazi like a lot of politicians. He told you who he was. Once he got elected, you should have known he was going to be there at 9/11. Now, if you choose to turn your back on him, I don’t want to ever tell family members what they should be doing on this holiday — not holiday, but this solemn occasion — that’s your choice. But I believe you respect the office. He’s the mayor. He’s representing the city.”

Sliwa should stay in the basement with his cats. Mamdani doesn’t represent these people, and no one thinks Sliwa is relevant." . . .

 . . . "Mamdani has reaffirmed his commitment to attend. 

"'I will proudly honor the families, the survivors, the first responders forever impacted by that horrific terror attack by standing alongside them," Mamdani said last week. 

"Miller said she hopes this debate does not overshadow the true reason they're all there.

"'The focus really shouldn't be on who's there, who's not there," Miller said. "It should be on our loved ones." 

"A spokesperson for the 9/11 Memorial and Museum said, in part, "we have intentionally worked to keep the commemoration free of politics because remembering those we lost on 9/11 should never be a partisan issue."
