According to Mamdani, Muslims were the real victims of 9/11:
Zohran wants you to remember 9/11 through the story of his aunt who, according to him, stopped riding the subway because she felt unsafe wearing a hijab.
Watch him cry when telling this story—not just once, but again outside an Islamic cultural center. Zohran is not crying for the people who burned to death inside the towers, nor is he crying for those who jumped to their death. Instead, our mayor is crying over his aunt’s fear of retaliation, retaliation by the way, that never occurred.
Nearly 3,000 innocent civilians were murdered inside the World Trade Center, yet Mamdani repeatedly redirects the focus toward Muslims who feared they would experience discrimination after the attacks.
New York City deserves better.
