"This was the whole f**king thing. Do you remember the Mamdani, you know, all these right-wing guys are like, how dare he take a picture with any mom! Has he forgotten the lessons from 9/11? One guy came after me! John Stewart, he's talking pleasantly with Mamdani. You know, this is a guy has he forgot 9/11? First of all, f**k you. F**k you to the highest order of f**king you that you can be f**ked. Don't you ever ask me about that, you f**k."
"Stewart has long been an advocate for 9/11 first responders and their families, as well as veterans. He's testified before Congress to extend benefits for 9/11 first responders and to push a bill providing coverage to veterans facing long-term health issues from toxic burn pits overseas. Trump pushed back on criticism over hosting Saudi's crown prince, even claiming at one point bin Salman knew nothing about the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi."
President Donald Trump hosted Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the White House, prompting criticism about U.S. engagement with a leader linked to severe human-rights abuses. Right-wing figures defended the visit while earlier attacking a Muslim incoming New York City mayor, exposing perceived double standards. The visit raised 9/11 sensitivities and recalled past events involving Saudi-funded LIV Golf near Ground Zero. Longstanding advocacy for 9/11 first responders and veterans seeking expanded benefits was noted. The CIA concluded bin Salman likely ordered the 2018 assassination of journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, a central point in calls for accountability.
