NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch blasts 9/11 revisionists blurring lines between heroes and terrorists

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch pointedly called Wednesday for “moral clarity” ahead of the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks — decrying those blurring the lines between heroes and terrorists.

Tisch made the remarks alongside a stone-faced Mayor Zohran Mamdani as they unveiled a new 9/11 Memorial Wall at One Police Plaza.

The wall – which includes 469 new names, commemorating NYPD members who have died of 9/11-related illnesses – preserves the unfathomable devastation from the attack on the World Trade Center towers and the heroism in response, Tisch said.

“Preserving that history also means preserving its moral clarity,” she said.

“The men who attacked this city were terrorists. The men and women who ran into the towers to save innocent lives were heroes. Twenty-five years cannot be allowed to blur that distinction and shame on those who do.”

The subtle condemnation by Tisch didn’t have a clear target, although online personality Hasan Piker – a vocal lefty Mamdani supporter – has come under sustained criticism for previously saying that “America deserved 9/11.”

Mamdani, for his part, didn’t flinch as Tisch made her remarks.

The mayor and commissioner later participated together in a briefing covering security preparations for the attacks’ 25th anniversary Friday.

Piker walked back his 2019 comments, explaining that he meant US actions in the Middle East have a boomerang effect.
