In the Newsmax interview, Rudy Giuliani used anti-Muslim rhetoric and shared conspiracy theories while criticizing Zohran Mamdani&#8217;s presence at the 9\/11 ceremony, alleging he downplays the attackers&#8217; identity. Mamdani has said he will attend to honor families, survivors, and first responders. A petition with thousands of signatures has circulated seeking to bar his attendance, with organizer Giovanni Galante citing Mamdani&#8217;s public record. NYC Council Speaker Julie Menin called the petition &#8220;absolutely inappropriate&#8221; and criticized efforts to politicize the commemoration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani said on Newsmax on Sunday, September 6, that Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":342828,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[9,106610,56,63,65,64,14738,82],"class_list":["post-342827","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york-city","tag-new-york","tag-newsmax","tag-ny","tag-nyc","tag-nyc-headlines","tag-nyc-news","tag-rudy-giuliani","tag-zohran-mamdani"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/342827","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=342827"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/342827\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/342828"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=342827"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=342827"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=342827"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
