Mamdani’s 9/11 Comments Spark Outrage | Salt Lake City News

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s controversial remarks about 9/11 — blaming government leaders for misleading the public on air safety and failing to support those who got sick — have ignited fierce backlash. His comments echo long-standing criticism of the EPA’s 2001 assurances, later exposed as unsupported by evidence and potentially influenced by the White House, with former Administrator Christine Todd Whitman only apologizing in 2016. The human toll remains staggering: more FDNY members have died from 9/11-related illnesses than from the attacks themselves. Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s team condemned Mamdani, calling his statements political and defending the EPA’s actions at the time. A petition with over 110,000 signatures demands Mamdani be barred from the Ground Zero ceremony, citing his associations and past views as deeply offensive — yet Mamdani plans to attend and honor the victims anyway.
