“At the same moment, loved ones of the victims of the attacks were reading names of the deceased, and others were seen crying at the memorial,” it reported.
The Mail noted that multiple groups had requested Mamdani not attend, saying that his record showed he cared more about the terrorists than their victims.

Spencer Pratt fumed that “commie Mamdani and AOC laugh it up at the 9/11 memorial in New York.”
“They hate you. They hate your country. They enjoy your misery. We cannot allow these people to have power,” he wrote on X
“Freaking insanity,” Eric Daugherty posted.
“This is EXACTLY why the families didn’t want Mamdani there. I don’t think he actually takes it seriously. New York forgot,” he wrote.
This is horrible and shows how out of touch Mamdani and AOC are with the magnitude of 9/11. It’s an insult to the 2,977 people killed. How could you laugh while victims are being remembered by their family members? https://t.co/knuiIbwVpa

“This level of disrespect is incomprehensible,” Welsey Hunt posted on X.
“There is a time and a place for politics. This isn’t it. Ground Zero is sacred ground. Those names belong to fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, firefighters, cops, and innocent Americans who went to work one morning and never came home,” he wrote.
“For a few hours, on one day, have some damn respect. September 11th is not a photo op. It is not a networking event. It is a funeral America has attended for 25 years,” he wrote.
