That's a dumb snippet of what he said. People keep saying he would celebrate 9/11 and posting s*** like this, he's not making it up. Even conservative "hero" Charlie Kirk was saying it's bad for NYC to have a Muslim mayor because 9/11

This is what he actually said

Mamdani: Yesterday, Andrew Cuomo laughed and agreed when a radio host said that I would cheer another 9/11.

Yesterday, Eric Adams said that we “can’t let our city become Europe.” He compared me to violent extremists, and he lied when he said that our movement seeks to burn churches and destroy communities.

The day before that, Curtis Sliwa slandered me from a debate stage when he claimed that I support global jihad.

And every day, Super PAC ads imply that I am a terrorist or mock the way I eat, push polls that ask New Yorkers questions like whether they support invented proposals to make halal mandatory, or political cartoons that represent my candidacy as an airplane hurtling towards the World Trade Center.

But I do not want to use this moment to speak to them any further. I want to use this moment to speak to the Muslims of this city.

I want to speak to the memory of my aunt, who stopped taking the subway after September 11th because she did not feel safe in her hijab.

I want to speak to the Muslim who works for our city—whether they teach in our schools or walk the beat for the NYPD, New Yorkers who all make daily sacrifices on behalf of this city, only to see their leaders spit in their face.

I want to speak to every child who grows up in New York marked as the Other, who is randomly selected in a way that rarely feels random, who feels that they carry a stain that can never be cleaned.

Growing up in the shadow of 9/11, I have known what it means to live with an undercurrent of suspicion. I will always remember the disdain I faced, the way my name could immediately become “Mohammad,” and how I could return to my city only to be asked in a double mirrored room at the airport if I had any plan of attacking it.

And since I was very young, I have known that I was spared the worst of it. I was never pressured to be an informant like classmates of mine. I have never had the word ‘terrorist’ spray-painted on my garage, as one of my aides has. My mosque has never been set on fire.

To be Muslim in New York is to expect indignity. But indignity does not make us distinct—there are many who face it. It is the tolerance of that indignity that does.

I didn’t say he was celebrating 9/11. I obviously posted a clip of him talking about his Aunt not being able to wear a hijab on the subway following 9/11. Do I think that’s right? No, but I’m not surprised. Sorry if I’m not buying his tears at press conference. He’s a politician and I typically don’t buy into that sort of theatre.

Imagine being one of the 3,000 who lost their loved one to a vile terrorist who follows the beliefs of his hijab wearing aunt. Cry all your tears Mamdami.

NYC deserves this guy. Sometimes people need to see rock bottom to make the decision to try and better themselves. Enjoy your free bus rides and socialist food rations. The moment they don’t need your vote, is the moment you starve - Useful Idiots.

I didn't say you accused him of celebrating 9/11, but Cuomo and Sid Rosenberg did and that's part of what he was responding to.

The note about his aunt was part of his broader speech I posted, but the tweet being like "3,000 people died" as if he cared about his aunt and not them is very misleading

See what I mean @RDU VOL#14? People keep trying to connect him or his aunt to 9/11 simply because he's Muslim, it's constant. Islamophobia is very widely accepted in this country

It’s working great in Michigan and Minnesota. It’ll be as bad as the UK and other parts of Europe soon.

I don’t think people care for “racist gaslighting”brother. “Oh no brown people” gets no emotion from me. I know great Black, Brown, White and a few good Sunburnt folks.

I’m not a Trumper, I just don’t fall for the illusion that they aren’t invading and destroying countries across the world. How many examples do you need? Sorry I don’t have white guilt like you. I leave my house at 6am and return at 6:30 pm 5 days a week. I’ve worked for everything I have.

Lmao, people who see a Muslim get elected and start fearing a "Muslim takeover" might be the dumbest people in the country
