As some 9/11 families push to keep Zohran Mamdani away from the 25th anniversary ceremony over his beliefs and past statements, plenty on the Left are suddenly playing dumb.
They’re eager to slap the 'Islamophobia' label on it, when what’s really on the table is Mamdani’s own blatant disrespect.
One of the main reasons his critics keep bringing up are his cozy relationship with Hasan Piker. Piker has a long record of hostility toward Jewish people and Israel, and he’s on tape saying America 'deserved' 9/11. That alone helps explain why the families of the victims want nothing to do with anyone that close to him showing up.
7 yrs ago i said WE brought 9/11 upon ourselves. 7 yrs ago i apologized for my language. since then ive helped get a 9/11 1st responder elected into office which you guys also called a terrorist cus he’s muslim. i don’t think zionists care about 9/11 beyond fomenting islamaphobia https://t.co/P8wvGrjg7C

First of all, Hasan Piker still absolutely believes this. Notice how he parses his statement by saying he apologized for 'his language'. He didn't apologize for the sentiment.
Dude you put up a newspaper of 9/11 prominently behind you in your stream. Do you think we're all stupid af? https://t.co/b3tCrRbFnG

And here is proof of said newspaper clipping. It's a mystery why families of 9/11 victims loathe this guy and his bestie, Zohran Mamdani.
Absolutely nothing about his views has changed. https://t.co/bA6KIsmjsy

This is enitrely bs. Hasan said we deserved 9/11, keeps a picture of the towers collapsing framed behind him as a joke. And Adam Hamawy "9/11 first responder" was a close confidant of the original WTC bombing in the 90's and testified in his defense after the attack. https://t.co/A9YsJ8CSBK

Adam Hamawy is in New Jersey and never should have won his primary. It's unfortunate he did.

Go to Adult Night School to learn English as a second language and stop with the 5th grade diction.
There is no such thing as "Islamophobia" - there is only Islamic Awareness - and you and @ZohranKMamdani need to be removed from…
It's not Islamophobia to tell the truth.
You didn't apologise, you obfuscated. Now multiple fans of yours have been arrested for making terroristic threats. https://t.co/oU6hFzX0di pic.twitter.com/uyikFbU9nq

Sorry my guy but the “death to America” thing has come home to roost. Turns out people were keeping track all along
You got the attention you’ve been so desperately craving
You made your bed now lie in it
That digital footprint is forever.
