AOC Spotted Laughing Next to Mamdani at 9/11 Ceremony — as Victims’ Families Weep During Reading of Names; New York Times Accused of Framing Muslims as True Victims of 9/11 In Anniversary Coverage; Tucker Carlson All But Endorses Abdul El-Sayed, Says He was ‘obviously right’ About 9/11

AOC spotted laughing next to Mamdani at 9/11 ceremony — as victims’ families weep during reading of names:

Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez were caught yukking it up during the somber reading of 9/11 victims at Ground Zero during the 25th anniversary service Friday.

The New York City Democratic Socialists of America darlings appeared all smiles in a live feed of the ceremony, interspersed with shots of a man cradling his head in his arms and bawling his eyes out while friends and family read out the names of their departed loved ones from the podium.

Pointed reactions online to the apparent show of disrespect at the site where thousands of Americans were murdered by terrorists were quick to emerge.

“Why the f–k are these two laughing?!?” Meghan McCain, former “The View” host and daughter of late GOP Sen. John McCain, wrote on X.

“How the hell do you laugh while the names of those murdered on 9/11 are being read aloud? Why would you do so?” wondered Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz.

“After thousands of families of victims of terror beg Mamdani not to show up, he stands there and laughs while families weep. This is NYC’s Mayor,” scolded Brooklyn Republican Councilwoman Inna Vernikov.

One insider told The Post that the ungraceful scene unfolded after Mamdani was notably left standing alone once Gov. Kathy Hochul, state Attorney General Letitia James and and Sen. Chuck Schumer shuffled out mid-ceremony.

“Nobody wanted to be by him,” the source said. “It was awkward.” --->READ MORE HERE

New York Times accused of framing Muslims as true victims of 9/11 in anniversary coverage:

NYT fires back at critics: 'Disingenuous attempt to seek attention and stoke outrage by misrepresenting' newspaper's journalism

The New York Times on Friday was accused of treating Muslims as the true victims of the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2021, but the paper insists any criticism is a "disingenuous" attempt to stoke outrage.

"The Times can't remember 9/11 without bemoaning a ‘wave of hate’ and ‘anti-Muslim prejudice," NewsBusters executive editor Tim Graham told Fox News Digital.

The Times’ published a story, "After 9/11, Islamophobia Shaped a Generation of Muslim New Yorkers," that said the "attacks unleashed a wave of hate, but the years since have seen Muslim Americans’ political and cultural influence grow."

Times reporters Liam Stack and Maya King wrote about "once-friendly neighbors" allegedly keeping their distance from American Muslims on the heels of the terror attacks, suggesting that many "have faced a quarter-century of suspicion and hostility."

"In New York, a generation of Muslim New Yorkers responded to the Islamophobia by organizing their communities: Mosques hosted makeshift legal clinics. Small businesses became hubs in a citywide civil rights network. Muslims of different racial, ethnic and linguistic backgrounds formed alliances the city had not seen before," Stack and King wrote.

"Their political organizing helped, years later, to elect the city’s first Muslim mayor, Zohran Mamdani," they continued. "But anti-Muslim prejudice still endures, echoing the Islamophobia that arose in the earliest days after Sept. 11."

The Times’ story, published hours before the somber anniversary of the attacks that killed 2,977 people at the World Trade Center in New York City, the Pentagon and aboard United Flight 93 near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, said the attacks also "left many Muslim American communities scarred by heavy-handed law enforcement tactics and the suspicion, if not outright hostility, of classmates, co-workers, elected officials and cable news commentators who blamed all Muslims for the terrorism they, too, had experienced that day."

The Times then spoke with Afaf Nasher, the executive director of the New York chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, who said that Muslim Americans were "pushed against the wall" and were faced with the decision to "run in fear" or push back. --->READ MORE HERE
