New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani drew criticism after he was seen laughing during the 25th anniversary 9/11 memorial ceremony on Friday. Families of 9/11 victims and former officials, including former Mayor Rudy Giuliani, called for Mamdani to skip the event. Mamdani attended the ceremony anyway. The incident has created tension around what is typically a solemn, unified commemoration.
