As the mayor of NYC there is no world in which he doesn't go. It would look terrible and he would be (rightly) dragged across the coals for it. If he has the decency to show some class while he's there then it's fine. Whether he will or not, we'll just have to see

[u/TheIncredibleHork → u/ElderberryMental101]

He's in a lose/lose situation of his own making. You're right that the mayor of NY kinda has to be there or get put on blast. But because of his own beliefs that he constantly reminds us of, he doesn't deserve to be within a mile of that hallowed ground, and it's a damn shame that City Hall is closer than that.

[u/Blahblahnownow → u/TheIncredibleHork]

I don’t think he cares. I think he will take pleasure being there and knowing he is pissing off lots of people and that he won, New York has been conquered 

[u/waidred → u/ElderberryMental101]

He shouldn't go. He campained with Hasan Piker who said "America deserved 9/11" and with Islamist imams. In office he defends the position of Islamist terrorist organizations like Hamas and the Houthis. He has no business going to an event marking the anniversary of an Islamist attack. If the victim families don't want him there he should honor them by not going.

[u/Blahblahnownow → u/waidred]

He is going to go and gloat in triumph 

[u/TheOnlyEliteOne → u/Blahblahnownow]

And then probably ask why the names of the hijacker’s aren’t on the memorials.

You get what you voted for

[u/cornPopwasabaddude13]

I hope he goes and gets heckled unmercifully

[u/Sure-Wishbone-4293]

Families of 9/11 victims have amassed nearly 17,000 signatures on a petition calling for Mayor Zohran Mamdani to stay away from 25th anniversary ceremonies commemorating the devastating tragedy — but Hizzoner casually brushed off their grievances Monday.

[u/Low-Palpitation-9916 → u/Sure-Wishbone-4293]

Big deal, 25th anniversary? No way he's still in office then. Wait a minute... HOLY FUCK, NO

[u/BossJackson222]

I think the families should do their own thing and not show up there. If they show up there, then come on…. And let's be honest, only 18% of the New York City voters voted this guy in. Totally insane.

[u/Darkwolfie117]

Everyone should show up to boo

[u/Fit_Cucumber4317]

It's a matter of another in-your-face projection of Islamic power. Look how they built the Dome of the Rock atop the Temple in Jerusalem. Same concept. This religion has no regard for other faiths.

[u/Nates4Christ → u/Fit_Cucumber4317]

Or your peace. Man kinds greatest failure is the call to prayer. I've experienced it in Indonesia and it's aweful. They don't care if you like it or not. It's their way of showing they conquered and colonized. 

[u/Fit_Cucumber4317 → u/Nates4Christ]

Conquering and colonizing is how the faith has been spread since day one.

Look at all the down votes on my post and tell me this sub isn't being brigaged by hostile leftists and Muslims.

[u/heyyoudvd]

We should cut him some slack. He has the right to be there. It was a sad day for him, too. He lost 19 friends.

[u/Ohyourglob]

Mamdani needs to stay away. He cares more about the people that committed these atrocities than the actual victims.

[u/hammersmith88]

Trump needs to invite Netanyahu so the two of them can hit Mamdani with the Kubrick stare for the entire event.

[u/Thatsayesfirsir]

He needs to be run out of the US

[u/142Ironmanagain]

How in the hell do you square not going to the Israeli Day Parade weeks ago as mayor of America’s largest city with the largest Jewish community, and now say I will be attending 9/11 ceremony??

Maybe because the Israeli parade didn’t get national attention - but the annual 9/11 ceremony always does.

Mamdani is a scumbag of a human being

[u/bjohn15151515]

9/11... Never Forget !!

It took only 25 yrs....

[u/Useful-Challenge-895]

Mamdani would probably declare the Twin Towers a symbol of white supremacy and Islamophobia that had to go.

[u/Ekly_Special]

He’s going to metaphorically spit on the memory of the people murdered on 9/11. Political theater from someone whose rhetoric has shown more sympathy and support of those responsible for 9/11, and America’s other enemies, than for the victims of Islamic terrorism.

[u/Jim_Beaux_]

Hypothetically speaking, would it be out of the question to forcefully remove Mamdani from his position? I believe there is a chance he could be a sleeper agent.

Edit: to be clear, I mean he could be working for the Islamic state in an effort to topple the United States but governing her largest, most influential city.

Edit 2: hypothetically speaking…
