New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and New York Democratic Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez were seen smiling and laughing while the names of those who died on 9/11 were being read at a memorial service Friday for the 25th anniversary of the event.
The moment, caught on video, took place while names starting with the letter L were being read, or midway through the list of the nearly 3,000 people who died.
Others wept while the pair of politicians smiled and shared a brief laugh, prompting Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, to ask, “How the hell do you laugh while the names of those murdered on 9/11 are being read aloud?”
Mamdani, a Democratic Socialist and a Muslim, had been asked by some of the families not to attend.
