The people who don’t want Mamdani at the 9/11 memorial ARE THE SAME PEOPLE who support Trump and his support for Saudi Arabia. That’s because these people are REALLY, REALLY DUMB and RACIST.
-
Are the signatures even real ? I wonder. Social media puts everything on steroids especially disinformation. Mayor Mamdani certainly should be there. And, the claim of a 100,000 signatures doubtful

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani will attend at least eight events over the next week to mark the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in New York City, according to a schedule his office shared with NBC News.

This “petition” is such manufactured outrage. I really wish we could grow up.
-
Mayor Mamdani represents all New Yorkers regardless of their race, religion, or economic status. He has every right to be there.

Guiliani is the one should shouldn't be there

How horrible for Mayor Mamdani; he's the Mayor of NY. This country is full of Islamophobes. I remember Bush telling us not to take out 911 on the Muslims, explicitly. Tell Rudy who can no longer practice law (Did you add that Forbes to your article?) to shut his trap.
-
I see Forbes is interested in continuing this disgusting proposal to bar the mayor of the city from participating in 9/11 memorial ceremonies. I suppose a disgraced, disbarred Giuliani would be more your speed
-
How many actually live in New York? How many are actually related in any way to the victims? He is the current mayor, there is no legitimate excuse to exclude him.
-
And if he didn't go, these same assholes would be screaming about that!!! He's the fucking Mayor!! Of course hes going!! Morons.
-
Mamdani was 9 years old on 9/11. Mamdani has denied supporting terrorism or political violence, has repeatedly condemned the September 11 attacks. He is the Mayor and should attend.

The New York Mayor who was also a child, living in New York City when the towers fell, to boot.
-
He was 9 years old when it happened. Do people think he was part of the plot? JFC. 🤷♀️
-
Presumably Trump’s Saudi mate, the Crown Prince, would be welcome to come and see the work of his fellow countrymen.
-
So it's a list of bigots... That's all it is. He didn't have anything to do with the bullshit and shouldn't be treated like he did. Everyone on that list is a moron and should be excluded themselves.
-
All five mayors since 9/11 have attended the ceremony. It's not a ceremony for making speeches and from what I can tell he won't be making one either. Giuliani is an election denier who worked his hardest to overturn Biden's election and he's still involved in election denial. He can

Mamdani is many things to many people, but what he is to all is the mayor of the city of New York. He should be there.

shut the fuck up. Another mayor who attended is Adams and he's now a criminal. He missed the last year of his term because he'd been indicted. Charges that later were dropped by the Department of Injustice under Trump.
-
Forbes wrote the headline and the body of the article in such a way as to bury the fact that the criticisms are based on nothing but racism and bigotry. Fuck @forbes.com , they are part of the problem

Those who signed that petition against mayor Z, are the real problem with our country and City. And I bet 95% are children or immigrants.

You gotta remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the New West.
-
As a survivor I would be honoured if Mayor Mamdami attended.
-
Can you imagine the reaction if he didn’t attend? Those same people would be screaming “oh look, of course he didn’t go, he hates Americans”…
