The \u201cEverybody Loves Raymond\u201d star, 68, backed the petition organized by families of 9\/11 victims, which has amassed almost 45,000 signatures as of Wednesday, to her more than 500,000 followers on X.<\/p>\n

\u201cKeep it going New Yorkers,\u201d the conservative actress applauded on Monday, while reposting the Change.org petition link.<\/p>\n

Heaton\u2019s post included a screenshot of a comment left on the petition by a family member who lost their brother in the terror attacks.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am incensed that a terrorist excuser is now Mayor, and outspoken sympathizer for terrorist perpetrators,\u201d the comment said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is disqualified from attending the 9\/11 remembrance ceremony and ought to be barred.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the Hollywood actress was born in Ohio and has called Los Angeles and Nashville home, she had a stint living in New York City in the 1980s \u2014 and happened to be in the Big Apple on Sept. 11, 2001. \u00a0<\/p>\n

She also played a Long Island native, \u201cDebra Barone,\u201d in her role on \u201cEverybody Love Raymond\u201d \u2014 and has long championed traditional values. <\/p>\n

\u201cI happened to be in New York City on September 11, 2001 with the cast of \u2018Everybody Loves Raymond.\u2019 It was a terrifying experience,\u201d Heaton wrote on X on Sept. 11, 2024, alongside a video commemorating the annual remembrance.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s hard to believe now that Israel is experiencing the same horrors,\u201d she said referencing the heinous Hamas attacks on Oct. 7, 2023, that slaughtered roughly 1,200 Israelis. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt needs to end.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the two-minute video, Heaton likened the Palestinian terror group to members of al-Qaeda who murdered 2,753 when they hijacked airplanes and steered them into the World Trade Center.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s 9\/11 again and here we are. The same terrorists are back in full force, this time going after Israel, but really they\u2019re going after all of us,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Heaton added that \u201canyone who calls for Israel to lay down its arms, you are supporting the same people who took down the Twin Towers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The petition, which was launched last week, brands the Israel-hating mayor as an apologist for Islamic terror whose presence would be an insult to the memories of thousands killed murdered in the World Trade Center.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Giovanni Galante, 55, spearheaded the petition demanding the socialist Democrat stay away from Ground Zero during the 25th anniversary on Sept. 11, 2026.<\/p>\n

Galante lost his wife, Grace, on 9\/11, The Post reported.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

The widow cited several reasons for his concern in the petition \u2014 including Mamdani\u2019s reluctance to condemn the phrase \u201cglobalize the intifada\u201d and his associations with individuals like his chief counsel, Ramzi Kassem, who previously represented an al-Qaeda tanker bombing pilot by the name of Ahmed al-Darbi.<\/p>\n

Hizzoner swatted away the concerns Monday confirming that he plans to \u201cproudly honor\u201d those impacted by 9\/11 by \u201cstanding alongside them\u201d in September. <\/p>\n
