That just is not true. Please stop these ridiculous talking points. I have gone to stand with these families every single year for a decade now. My friends and neighbors are not crying for 6 hours straight. We are greeting each other, hugging each other, laughing at the memories and the jokes the families tell remembering their loved ones. Most politicians do not stay the entire time, in fact every year, at the end it is usually just me and former mayor Mike Bloomberg. This year was different @NYCMayor did. He stayed for every name and even stayed after to talk to families for 45 minutes. My friend who works for the memorial, even told me it was a new record. @AOC , for the record was there at 7:30 am and also stayed for every name and this brief moment they said was of them laughing was just when she walked up to him and said hello. When I said hello to him with my daughter he even whispered to me after our hug “hi my friend! Hi Zoe! Sorry I didn’t see you, I’m super focused on the stage right now.” And he was. He listened to every story and every name and was there for our community of lower Manhattan. We appreciate you both. I hope these gross talking points will end.
