New pain for some 9/11 families as New York’s mayor finds himself in commemoration controversy

‘Mayor Mamdani is not a terrorist’Liz Miller’s father Douglas was one of the 343 firefighters who died after rushing to try to save people in the burning buildings. CNN cannot independently verify how many 9/11 families have signed the petition. And she has a simple view on the mayor: “Mayor Mamdani is not a terrorist.” A spokesperson for the 9/11 Memorial and Museum said their priority is to “provide a dignified and supportive environment for the families.” For some families, the decision still has to be made about what they will do on the morning of September 11.
