911 Remembrance Divided by Politics | Newark News

A fiery debate is unfolding ahead of New York’s September 11 remembrance, as a petition with over 72,000 signatures demands Mayor Zohran Mamdani be excluded—citing his past rhetoric as disrespectful to victims. But 9/11 families, including Elizabeth Miller whose father died in the attacks, strongly oppose the move, insisting the focus must remain on honoring the fallen—not politics or personal grievances. Critics like CAIR and Families for Peaceful Tomorrows label the petition Islamophobic and anti-American, while Mayor Mamdani reaffirms his commitment to attend and honor those lost. The Memorial Museum vows to keep the event apolitical, urging unity in remembrance over division. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
