Families of 9/11 victims and first responders call on Zohran Mamdani to abandon plans to attend the Ground Zero memorial. The 'Outnumbered' panel weighs in.

A coalition of 9/11 family members, first responders, and elected officials gathered on the steps of City Hall on Tuesday to deliver a message to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani: stay away from this year's Sept. 11 memorial service.

"This mayor is not serving us," said Charles Wolf, who lost his wife on 9/11. "He's serving himself. We are asking respectfully that he not show up, even though there is going to be other politicians there. These are the politicians that helped us push beneficial laws through and literally held our hand during that time. Mayor Mamdani has not shown any of that, none of it. He just wants to be there because he wants to be there. So we are asking him to respect the fact that that trauma is revived during the ceremony. It is a private ceremony. It is not a public ceremony. Mayor Mamdani, please do not come. "
