9/11 mourners backed by TV star in fight against Mamdani.
Key Points:
- Adam Levy, son of Judge Judy and host of the upcoming CBS series "Adam’s Law," supports families opposing NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s attendance at the 9/11 25th anniversary memorial due to Mamdani’s controversial past endorsements and policies.
- Mamdani has faced criticism for supporting radical figures with anti-American views, revoking city policies supporting Israel, and repealing the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s antisemitism definition shortly after taking office.
- A petition with nearly 110,000 signatures, led by 9/11 victim family members, calls for Mamdani’s exclusion from the memorial, arguing his presence detracts from the solemnity of the event and causes additional pain.
- Despite the opposition, Mamdani has vowed to attend and honor those affected by 9/11, while critics like Levy accuse him and Governor Kathy Hochul of hypocrisy and prioritizing political gain over public safety.
- Levy reflects on how 9/11 shaped his commitment to justice and calls for unity and mutual respect in New York, urging a return to the solidarity seen immediately after the attacks.
