Responding to
George Pataki said Mamdani should not attend because of Mamdani’s continuing association with Hasan Piker and his past response to the phrase “globalize the intifada.”
"“Anyone who has refused to reject the phrase ‘globalize the intifada’ ... should not be at that site.”"
Pataki directly called for Mamdani to skip the memorial.
City & State reports Pataki’s rationale, notes that Mamdani condemned Piker’s 9/11 comments and that Piker disavowed them, and records Mamdani’s commitment to attend.
