Laughingstock AOC spotted laughing next to Mamdani at 9/11 ceremony ‐ as victims' families weep during reading of names
2026-09-12
[NYP] Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez were caught yukking it up during the somber reading of 9/11 victims at Ground Zero during the 25th anniversary service Friday.

The New York City Democratic Socialists of America darlings appeared all smiles in a live feed of the ceremony, interspersed with shots of a man cradling his head in his arms and bawling his eyes out while friends and family read out the names of their departed loved ones from the podium.

Pointed reactions online to the apparent show of disrespect at the site where thousands of Americans were murdered by terrorists were quick to emerge.

"Why the f—k are these two laughing?!?" Meghan McCain, former "The View" host and daughter of late GOP Sen. John McCain, wrote on X.

"How the hell do you laugh while the names of those murdered on 9/11 are being read aloud? Why would you do so?" wondered Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz.
