Largest Catholic Civil Rights Group in US Urges Mamdani to Skip 9/11 Memorial Ceremony
Donohue said Mamdani’s attendance would distract from families at the 25th-anniversary commemoration, and he estimated 85% to 90% of first responders killed were Catholic.
- Catholic League President Bill Donohue urged New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani to skip next month's 25th anniversary Sept. 11 remembrance ceremony at Ground Zero, arguing his attendance would be divisive.
- Donohue cited Mamdani's absence from the Veterans Day Parade and Israeli Day Parade, coupled with what he described as the mayor's reluctance to condemn Islamist extremism, as reasons he is unsuitable to preside.
- Among those endorsing an online petition to exclude Mamdani, which has surpassed 74,000 signatures, is Michael LaRosa, a former spokesman for Jill Biden and aide to President Joe Biden.
- Estimating that 85% to 90% of first responders killed in the Sept. 11 attacks were Catholic, Donohue warned Mamdani's presence would distract from victims and their families during the solemn event.
- The mayor's alleged reluctance to speak negatively about radical Muslims fuels concerns that his participation would inject politics into a day dedicated to honoring innocent Americans.
