Mamdani's 9/11 Moment of Truth

If Zohran Mamdani is elected the next mayor of New York City, he will face the next anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack on America as either an undisguised hypocrite or honest enough to reveal his expansive contempt for a nation that remains the beacon of freedom around the world.
Try as he might, on that solemn day of remembrance, Mamdani will not be able to have it both ways.
To date, his 9/11 references fail to reveal even a suggestion of grief for the thousands of Americans who died that day. Instead, he recounts how the terror attack left him feeling isolated from the rest of us, refusing to suggest that on September 11, 2001, we all became New Yorkers.
The New York Post quotes him as saying, "There is still this illusion...particularly a result of settler-colonialism, that all of us can become New Yorkers..."
