The video frjnyc is sharing is not the full version, someone has used a flash frame to edit out the extended interaction, including AOC's laugh at :14. Here is the ACTUAL FULL version from CNN:

My GOD they had a warm, spontaneous exchange at a 9/11 memorial and then returned their attention to the event. This country is so unbelievably bigoted and hateful.

And people want to get on here and try to say this interaction didn’t happen at all. I’m merely posting the whole thing. Some people are fine with it, others aren’t. Is this why you’re an ex bureau chief btw?

Huh? Thats a weird question. But, no I’ve been bureau chief for 2 different newsrooms that I proudly worked in over a 15 year period and still maintain close ties to as contractor/freelancer.

@dprzygoda LA Times and NPR = News? 😂 Left wing propaganda machines.

@dprzygoda We all praise George Soros for this message. Hallelujah Jesus.

Who gives a fuck dude? They greeted each other for 10 seconds and then paid full attention to the memorial. Get over yourself already.

This is actually sickening to me They shared a happy greeting for barely TEN seconds, and because MAGA is so obsessed with criticizing Mamdani for being Muslim, they all crashed out against him Fuck those shitheadheads man, 🤦‍♂️

There are people who don’t like this kind of behavior at an event like this, there are people who are fine with it. It’s the commitment to lying about it/spreading disinformation about it that’s troubling.

Why are people over observing these two to have fake outrage over while ignoring the orange man who sleeps through these ceremonies?

Oh no!!!!! A quick embrace and focused right back on the ceremony. How disrespectful of them. Get a fucking grip. All this manufactured outrage.

Still nothing. A brief laugh and smile when you’re greeting someone is the most normal thing EVER. In ANY situation. Grifting loser

Everyone there including Julie Menin literally right in front of them smiled and chatted during the four hour reading of names you moron

It’s still awful. The longer version makes it even more inappropriate. She’s trying to network in the middle of a memorial. Disrespectful AF

Where's that laugh at 0:14?

Count up, not down genius.

Literally says 0:14, genius

You were the one having trouble opening links the other day so TBF it was too much to expect you to know how to count as well.

Your words, douchebag. Maybe you need to learn how to communicate better.

So then why doesn't the film continue without the break? This seems more like the edited version than what we saw live on TV. All I see is the media running cover for these two communists.

This is from one camera. What ran on TV was the pool feed and the control room was switching between all of their different cameras. I posted the pool version on Thursday as well

If you're trying to disprove what we clearly saw live while it happened, this video you posted makes it look like an edited version and doesn't prove anything.

@dprzygoda When there's a live stream done by major news network they have it on a delay in case anything really bad happens, and because of this in a way they have time to show you what they want to show. In this event the streaming was handled by a company who are major Zionist

@dprzygoda Go f#$k yourself with your Zionist bull crap.

@dprzygoda Why so defensive about it? Did I struck a nerve for calling it out?

@dprzygoda No, didn't strike a nerve, but as soon as you stated Zionist than I knew your story was bull crap.

So basically the SAME clip from cnn 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 still a basic interaction which happens EVERYDAY at funerals, wakes, weddings? 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

They greeted each other for 14 seconds at an hours long event (as literally every other public official also did) instead of being total assholes to each other. BURN IT ALL DOWN

Of fuck, she laughed for a 1/4 second when greeting a friend? Holy shit.

This changes nothing for me. The full video shows they were smiling, not laughing, during their greeting. BFD. I don’t like Mamdani or AOC either but this is ridiculous.

Again, this would have been more than fine before or after the ceremony. Unfortunately, this moment of levity and apparent joy, took place during the reading of the names of the victims. That’s really the problem. Timing. It matters. 🙏

Thanks for proving Mumdani never laughed and AOC said something while she was smiling. But Vance laughed and trump slept.

genuinely insane that you all are looking at this and finding an issue and spewing hate when there are a million politicians who actually deserve that energy ...

Still the same shit. It was a greeting and that’s it. Give it up.

NICE TRY CLOWN

what is the controversy here? people acting like they've never been to a funeral or memorial before. You greet people, you're happy to see them, you smile and laugh. It's normal human behavior. You think they're going to be standing in solemn silence for hours on end?

Two people over joyed, one shows up late. Total disrespect, the names of the dead are being read right now. Somber for everyone except them.

And then they immediately returned their attention fo the reading with somber expressions. You people are absolutely crazed.

You'd have to be a special kind of moron to think that this helps!! There should be no exchange of pleasantries ever at this kind of event!!!

While this confirms it was a 'greeting', it's dishonest to edit out the full interaction and the laughing that occurred. This angle also clearly shows how their interaction disrupted the experience of the woman in the red glasses behind them.

even the version you just showed demonstrates that he did nothing inappropriate. You guys have absolutely nothing on this man; it is truly incredible to see the flailing.

This doesn’t help. Still zero feel for the moment.

@LyndaLeininger Wait…this video is supposed to prove what?? I don’t think it helped in the way you planned.

How does this change anything? They just greeted each other for 5 seconds and then went back to watching the memorial. So much outrage of a basic thing everyone does, including Republicans who were also at the same event.

Absolutely nothing wrong with it at all

Mamdani should sue fox news

Do you not see how insane you all sound overreacting to this totally normal interaction. There is no controversy here to be had.

Still very clear, they focus on listening very quickly again after the greeting. If you really care about how serious they are about this, also check how long they stay.

I hate these two people, but what I hate more is causing fake outrage because they (obviously) just greeted each other nicely.
