“Rudy Giuliani… publicly criticized current Mayor Zohran Mamdani for planning to attend a 9/11 commemoration ceremony at Ground Zero on Friday… Giuliani’s criticism was heavily tinged with anti-Muslim sentiment and false claims about Mamdani’s beliefs. ‘They have every desire to take us over. This is not, they want to be just another religion, they want to dominate us,’ Giuliani said of Muslims. ‘Mamdani is a clear supporter of that.’” — The Hill

Friday marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks. A quarter century after that tragic day, it’s become painfully clear that the terrorists won. Our city is run by a socialist mayor who is turning the Big Apple into a jihadist fever dream, complete with everything Islamic fundamentalists famously support, like affordable childcare for working mothers, high-quality universal public education for boys and girls, and free buses. Terrorists love robust, affordable public transit.
Now, to add insult to injury, Mayor Mamdani is planning to attend the twenty-fifth-anniversary remembrance of the World Trade Center attacks. It is an insult to all New Yorkers to have this man participate in this solemn moment, considering he did absolutely nothing to prevent 9/11.
The mayor’s liberal apologists claim that, when the 9/11 attacks happened, he was “in elementary school” and “nine years old,” as if those are reasonable excuses for the future mayor’s negligence. As a Republican, I believe that if a nine-year-old girl becomes pregnant, she is perfectly capable of carrying that fetus to term and becoming a mother. Should we really not expect our nine-year-old boys to be at least somewhat versed in global counterterrorism measures? If nine-year-old Zohran didn’t try to stop the 9/11 attacks, that was a deliberate choice.
The liberal media refuses to acknowledge the obvious reason Mamdani didn’t stop 9/11: because he is Muslim. As we all know, every Muslim around the world is glad 9/11 happened, the same way all Christians are glad the Holocaust happened and all white people are glad the transatlantic slave trade happened. I don’t have any Muslim friends, nor have I spoken to any Muslims myself, but based on the opinions of the small subset of white Christians I regularly associate with, I think it’s fair to extrapolate.
Mayor Mamdani was born in Kampala, Uganda, a mere 1,900 miles from Saudi Arabia, where most of the 9/11 hijackers were from. A man born just one continent over from the birthplace of Osama Bin Laden is now going to memorialize the worst terror attack in our nation’s history. That would be like inviting French President Emmanuel Macron—who is from the same continent and has a similar religious background as Vladimir Putin—to memorialize the anniversary of the War in Ukraine. Don’t you see how inviting someone so culturally similar to Vladimir Putin would be a slap in the face to Ukrainians? That’s how we feel about Mamdani and al-Qaeda.
In addition to failing to prevent 9/11 when he was younger, Mamdani continues to thumb his nose at 9/11 victims as mayor. For example, the city’s chief counsel is an attorney who once represented detainees at Guantanamo Bay. Everyone knows that a lawyer who represents bad people must be a bad person. When the Founding Fathers wrote the Bill of Rights, it was understood that things like the right to an attorney and protection against cruel and unusual punishment did not apply to people we were pretty sure were guilty. Can you imagine America’s mayor, Rudy Giuliani, representing terrorists? He has only ever defended upstanding people, like election truthers and January 6th patriots.
Everything Mayor Mamdani does, he does in service of the radical Islamic agenda. As we speak, he is busy releasing documents showing the city covered up concerns about air quality after 9/11 to keep the economy humming. Corporations are the lifeblood of this city, and returning to business as usual was how companies showed the terrorists they couldn’t derail Wall Street. A couple of first responders getting debilitating respiratory illnesses and cancer, then fighting for decades to get adequate compensation, was a small price to pay for sticking it to those extremist bastards. Only someone with true disdain for New Yorkers wouldn’t be able to see why that was a worthy tradeoff.
The saddest part about this twenty-fifth anniversary of 9/11 is that the one New Yorker who should be here, our great president, was not invited to speak. When the attacks happened, Donald Trump was focused on what mattered. He kept the city’s spirits high by reminding everyone of all the silver linings, like that he now owned the tallest building in Lower Manhattan. He even had to be rescued from Ground Zero by two brawny firemen. Just because nobody else has corroborated that story doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. Everyone who saw it probably just had amnesia from the toxic air.
New Yorkers, ask yourselves this: Who would you rather see standing at the 9/11 memorial? A mayor with a suspiciously full beard who failed to thwart the 9/11 attacks as a nine-year-old man? Or a president who understands that 9/11 is a day for everyone:
We think the choice is obvious.
