New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is facing renewed scrutiny after a 2023 post marking the 9/11 attacks resurfaced online, in which he referenced the deaths and suffering caused by wars that followed the attacks.
„Nearly 3,000 New Yorkers died on 9/11; 22 years later, the death hasn’t stopped. We mourn our neighbors who died that day. The hundreds of thousands who died in the wars that followed. The unknown millions injured & displaced. In their memory, we work toward a better world,“ Mamdani wrote on X in 2023.
Some 9/11 families have called on the socialist mayor not to attend New York City’s 9/11 commemoration after he faced backlash for interviewing Hasan Piker, who in 2019 said, „America deserved 9/11.“ Mamdani initially declined to condemn the remarks but later called them „objectionable and reprehensible.“
Critics have accused Mamdani of using the solemn anniversary to draw attention to the wars that followed 9/11 while notably leaving out who carried out the attacks and describing the deaths in passive terms.

„As someone who was in the Pentagon when the planes hit, this is absolutely disgraceful. You have no business ever setting foot at Ground Zero, much less on 9/11. If you dare show up, I hope you are greeted with such a Bronx cheer that you slink away in shame,“ wrote Marc Thiessen.
„I guess they all just ‘died’ in an accident? And then you wonder why the families of 9/11 victims don’t want you at the ceremony. Stay home, Mamdani,“ wrote New York City council woman Inna Vernikov.
„Nearly 25 years later, NYC’s Mayor is in bed with Muslim terrorists and refuses to call out evil for what it is. Unfortunately, it seems the city forgot when they elected Jihadi Mamdani mayor. But we never will,“ wrote Florida Rep. Randy Fine.

„You’ve made this easy. Don’t show up on 9/11 this year – or any year. We’re not interested in your moral equivalency, nepo baby. Stick to the parlor communism daddy taught you. You and your buddy Piker can spend the day practicing Mandarin,“ said Fox News contributor and ex-NYPD officer Paul Mauro.
„Is this real?,“ wrote former first lady Jill Biden’s spokesperson Michael La Rosa.
„Americans were MURDERED by TERRORISTS in the most horrific way,“ wrote Rep. Nancy Mace.
„What a coward. They were murdered and sleep well at night knowing I and thousands of my brothers did our part to even the f—–g score,“ wrote „Big Weekend Show“ co-host Joey Jones.

Mamdani said he plans to attend the 9/11 commemoration to honor the victims, survivors, families and first responders alongside Vice President JD Vance and former presidents, including Biden and Bush.
A petition organized by several victims’ families called on Mamdani not to participate in the ceremony, with the families questioning whether his participation would be appropriate given the tragedy.
„We respectfully ask that the organizers carefully consider whether Mr. Mamdani’s participation would align with the intention of the ceremony and the expectations of the families most directly affected by the tragedy,“ a Change.org petition organized by several victims’ families states.
Fox News Digital reached out to Mamdani’s office for comment.
