New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani has received criticism online over the years as more and more observers have noticed that his annual messages around the 9/11 terror attacks have changed little since he entered the public sphere.
“We mourn our neighbors who died that day. The countless first responders and families whose lives were forever changed. The millions who suffered in the wars that followed,” Mamdani wrote in his 2024 post.
“In their memory, we work toward a better world.”
But as onlookers point out that the remarks look nearly identical to his statement in 2023 — and, in fact, every year going back to 2019 — some can’t help but wonder if the expressions are genuine. Others go further, arguing that the message is a repeatedly deliberate refusal to dwell on the loss of American lives year after year.

That’s the view of Adam Fisher, a venture capitalist based in Israel.
“On each 9/11 anniversary, Mamdani took to X with the same repulsive message of moral equivalence between the American victims of 9/11 and those killed fighting American soldiers hunting al Qaeda,” Fisher, a staunch supporter of Israel, wrote in a post to X.
“It doesn’t have to be said every year on the anniversary of 9/11 like a propaganda parrot. While he might not ‘cheer another 9/11,’ I know he wouldn’t blame the terrorists,” Fisher added.
Another user, going by the name of The Uri, noted that Mamdani had a similar pattern for Holocaust Remembrance Day on Jan. 27 that stretched from 2021 to 2023.
“He’s doing the same also for the Holocaust Remembrance Day,” Uri observed.
“When it comes to the holocaust, he LOVES the practice of copy+paste, as he posted the exact same thing for the International Holocaust Remembrance Day 3 years in a row.”
Mamdani’s Holocaust Remembrance Day posts included a lament for the genocide of the Jewish people but also a mention of a darker story of how the U.S. turned away a group of Jewish refugees.

“Today is #HolocaustRememberanceDay, the anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi death camp Auschwitz-Birkenau. We mourn & honor the memories of the 6 million Jews & millions of Romani, queer and disabled people murdered by the Nazis, among them — Joachim,” Mamdani wrote in 2023.
“In 1939, the U.S. turned away a ship of 900 Jewish WWII refugees. 254 of them, including Joachim, were later murdered in the Holocaust.”
Mamdani also used the message in 2021 and in 2022.
For 9/11, Mamdani has modified his message slightly every anniversary, swapping out the years and including slight variances over the past six years. The pattern began after 2019 — just as Mamdani began pursuing office in the New York Assembly. Mamdani won a seat in the legislature in 2020.
An account named Lee Yimby, which frequently posts about progressive Democrats and their views, noted that Mamdani likely felt obligated to make some sort of remark as a public figure in the Empire State.
“He copy-and-pasted this four years in a row while in assembly, because he had to say something as an NYC politician. Mamdani views the response to Islamic terrorist attacks as the real tragedy,” Yimby wrote on Saturday.
David Sivella, who describes himself as a former Democrat turned away by the party’s leftward surge toward socialism, also condemned the posts and their shared similarity.
“For the past four years as a Socialist Muslim, NY Assemblyman, Zohran Mamdani has literally cut and pasted the same 9/11 statement every year, just changing the years,” Sivella wrote last year.
“Zohran never mentions 9/11 first responders, the people he would lead as mayor. Zohran posts about Gaza,” he added.
Other observers also echoed Sivella’s criticisms, noting Mamdani’s generalized descriptions of the attack.
“Note no mention of how they died and who was responsible,” Bill Ackman, a New York financier with an ample X following said in a post on Monday.
“No mention that they were innocent civilians starting their work day and first responders who went to save them. No mention of the highjacking of the airplanes that were flown into the World Trade Center. No mention of murder or terrorism or who was responsible. Just a benign statement that a few thousand people died that day. He seems to imply they died of natural causes.”
Mamdani’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
