11 revisionists blurring lines between heroes and terrorists
Key Points:
- NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch called for “moral clarity” ahead of the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, emphasizing the clear distinction between terrorists and heroes.
- Tisch and Mayor Zohran Mamdani unveiled a new 9/11 Memorial Wall at One Police Plaza, adding 469 names of NYPD members who died from 9/11-related illnesses.
- Tisch condemned those who blur the lines between terrorists and heroes, indirectly addressing critics like Hasan Piker, who previously stated that “America deserved 9/11.”
- Mayor Mamdani stood silently alongside Tisch during her remarks and later joined her in a security briefing for the upcoming anniversary events.
- Hasan Piker has since retracted his 2019 comments, clarifying that his criticism was aimed at US foreign policy rather than justifying the attacks.
