The communist mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, signed an executive order this Friday to commemorate September 11 and then handed the symbolic pen to his advisor Ramzi Kassem, a lawyer known for defending an al-Qaeda terrorist linked to the Pentagon attack.
The action sparked outrage among survivors of the terrorist attack and families who lost a loved one on that fateful day. "It was something calculated. It happened during a ceremony meant to address the victims, and no one else. The 9/11 families did not go to City Hall to see Mamdani highlight someone whose work intersects with the same ideology that took their loved ones," retired detective Michael Alazar told the New York Post.
"It's bullshit," declared Dennis Warchola, whose brother Michael was a firefighter who died in the North Tower. "How can you defend a guy like that who wants to harm Americans or any innocent person?", he summarized.
