Mamdani CAUGHT Laughing During 9/11 Ceremony
Podcasts > LARRY with Larry O'Connor
Saturday, September 12, 2026
On the 25th anniversary of September 11th, Larry O'Connor delivers a pointed opening on why the threat that caused the attacks hasn't disappeared, then turns to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's Ground Zero remarks — contrasting them with a resurfaced 2019 clip where Mamdani framed 9/11 primarily around being bullied as a Muslim student. O'Connor plays NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch's remarks at a separate ceremony insisting on "moral clarity" about who the terrorists and heroes were, a clear contrast he says was aimed at the mayor. The segment includes video of Mamdani appearing to laugh and joke with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez during the solemn reading of victims' names at the ceremony he insisted on attending despite objections from 9/11 family members. O'Connor then reviews Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed's own 9/11 statement, and closes by replaying commentator Hasan Piker's recent remarks doubling down on his infamous claim that "America deserved 9/11," arguing Piker never actually walked back the sentiment, only the wording.
