An interaction between New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) during the 9\/11 commemoration ceremony at Ground Zero on Friday ignited outrage on social media.<\/p>\n

The two Democrats were among the political figures who turned out to mark the 25th anniversary of the most devastating terror attack on U.S. soil in the nation\u2019s history, when two jet airliners piloted by Islamic terrorists destroyed the World Trade Center, killing nearly 3,000 innocent people.<\/p>\n

At one point during the solemn ceremony, as the victims\u2019 names were being read, a camera feed of the crowd cut from the emotional scene of a family member crying to the two socialist superstars enjoying a moment of levity with AOC and the first Muslim mayor of Gotham appearing to joke and laugh. It isn\u2019t clear what they were discussing.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow the hell do you laugh while the names of those murdered on 9\/11 are being read aloud?\u201d Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) asked in a post to X. \u201cWhy would you do so?\u201d<\/p>\n

Imagine laughing and smiling while the names of people murdered on 9\/11 are being read at Ground Zero. AOC and Mamdani couldn\u2019t keep it together for a few minutes.<\/p>\n

Turns out, the \u201cbigots\u201d demanding that Commie Mamdani be barred from the 9\/11 memorial were 100% right. This sick America-hating freak needs to go. https:\/\/t.co\/NCKFeq5vY0<\/a><\/p>\n
