Here's the actual context of both @AOC and @ZohranKMamdani with stoic faces, a quick 4 second greeting with a smile, and then back to stoic faces.

As a non-American I have trouble understanding the conservative ability to stoop so intellectually low as to clap like a seal at the use of 9/11 as a political prop by Fox staging the appearance of the Left doing something improper on 9/11. It's so deeply disappointing that the right wing down there has been so propagandized and after all this time remains trapped in such shallow thought.

Yeah, Mamdani smiled. However, our "most patriotic President ever" who basically only got to be President because of a post 9/11 world skipped the 25th anniversary because he wasn't allowed to go up and give a speech. That says a whole lot more than anything else.

I suspect it has more to do with AOC being a woman and Mamdani being a man. They seem unfamiliar with the idea that men and women can interact without needing to find a room and go at it like rabbits. Or in republicans case: men and children...

Credit where it's due, the top comment pointed out that this was pretty weak criticism. A few below that mentioned Erika Kirk's behavior at her husband's funeral being much the same.

no, because that normalizes what the rightwing is saying now as opposed to back then. rightwing grifters said then that discussing terrorism in a tan suit is unprofessional. rightwing grifters now are saying that AOC and Mamdani don't take a national tragedy seriously, among other more ridiculous claims of them being terrorists celebrating America's downfall. it is several steps up in their hateful rhetoric from the tan suit, and nobody is punishing them for it.

In the Conservative world, smiling is like Handholding in meme culture. Two friends will look each other in the eyes, give a nod, and if they're both guys, a quick but firm handshake.

But I might've been paraphrasing American Dad or King of the Hill.

Given the context, I'm fairly certain it's not anything about a relationship, but rather Faux News lying through their teeth again and reporting "Mamdani and AOC all smiles at 9/11 remembrance event"
