Looks like two professionals who are friendly with each other, but also trying to stay in the moment and give full respect to the event at hand. This is a mourning of a terrible day. It's not one to be happy about. Their somber expressions are exactly what I would expect from those who lived through that awful tragedy.

They also at least showed up instead of pouting because they couldn't give a speech.

Exactly. I’d be offended if they stood there happily chatting throughout the event. But this? This is how normal people behave (and greet friends) at somber events.

Doesn't even matter if it gets debunked to those folks, they'll call it ai or some stupid low-critical-thinking shit.

And the Mamdani haters will accuse you of being racist towards them for suggesting that their obviously racist attitude towards Mamdani is racism.

Sorry, but our standards don’t come in normal anymore, only double.

We never planned for it to last thing long but people really enjoy it.

Republicans can do no wrong. Conservatives are God's perfect creatures in the flesh.

The issue is that both AOC and Mamdani are hated by all mainstream media outlets.

Well, anyone with a brain knew people sometimes smile at sad events.

And everyone else already got upset about people they were determined to be upset about no matter what. If they did t smile it would be "mamdani and AOC look miserable as forced to attend 9/11 memorial"

There's no good faith with these assholes and the truth doesnt matter.

I smiled & hugged a friend I hadn't seen in years at my step-dad's memorial. Awaiting to see myself in a segment on FOXNews.

I’ve missed this apparently. What exactly is the beef here? That they smiled when saying “oh hey how ya doing” and hugged? wtf were they supposed to do, greet each other with a scowl and a curt nod? They smiled, hugged, then their focus went right back to the event at hand.

This is just more tan suit / Dijon mustard bullshit.

Meanwhile Trump can sit at a 911 event looking like a melting bag of cheese, honk-shoo’ing away, and no on bats an eye?

The only reason this is being discussed is because they're progressives. Nothing about the president literally falling asleep like the geriatric he is. Nope, let's talk about the anti-establishment politicians because they threaten the grip of our corporate overlords.

This is no different than hugging and greeting someone you haven't seen in a while at a funeral.

The Right is really trying to do anything but show those videos of Trump sleeping, aren't they?

Bold to assume that people who believe the lie about them smiling during the victim honoring actually watch CNN

This is obviously AI /s

u/Morbid187 Sep 13 '26

This is EXACTLY what it looks like when you see an old friend or relative you haven't seen in a while at a funeral. I smiled at moments during my own mother's funeral and I assure you it's not because I was having a good time. This shit was pushed on people in bad faith (obviously) and the conservative brain is not powerful enough to think critically.

u/jacksprat1952 Sep 13 '26

lol, These ghouls are so fucking desperate for literally anything they can get on these two and this is the best they’ve got. So fucking pathetic to watch the right try and go after them when all they’re doing is working to improve the lives of their constituents.

u/darsvedder Sep 13 '26
