ONLY FRAN: The 9/11 criticism of Zohran Mamdani has little to do with him

Episode Description from the Publisher

Zohran Mamdani will commemorate the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks as the first Muslim mayor of New York City. Jan Fran’s first question is … and? This week, families of some of the 9/11 victims (flanked by myriad Republican politicians of course) presented him with a petition urging him not to attend the memorial at Ground Zero. Why?  In this episode, Jan Fran goes through the petition and finds it’s as clarifying as it is ambiguous.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
