To all the openly racist people demanding Mayor Mamdani skip the 9/11 commemoration because he is Muslim: 1. He was nine when it happened. 2. New Yorkers elected him mayor, so attending is literally his job. 3. He released thousands of pages exposing what NYC officials knew about the toxic air after 9/11 and the harm it caused New Yorkers because he believes every constituent deserves transparency, even racist ones like you.
