Giuliani Attacks Mamdani Over 911 Remembrance | Little Rock News

Rudy Giuliani, once a unifying post-9/11 figure, is now sparking outrage by demanding Mayor Zohran Mamdani skip the 25th anniversary memorial events, calling his attendance offensive and even comparing him to hijackers. Giuliani’s inflammatory claims — including accusations of supporting a Muslim takeover — have fueled a conservative backlash, with nearly 100,000 signing a petition to keep Mamdani away. While Mamdani’s office hasn’t directly rebutted Giuliani, it emphasized his commitment to honoring victims and first responders, highlighting recent executive orders establishing September 11 as an annual Day of Remembrance and boosting emergency readiness. Mamdani plans to attend dozens of local memorials, especially at firehouses that lost firefighters. Meanwhile, Giuliani himself will be at the ceremonies — despite his own health struggles he blames on 9/11 toxins. The clash between Giuliani’s past legacy and current rhetoric underscores how deeply this anniversary resonates — and divides — New York City.
