New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani was not allowed to speak at the funeral of Army Sgt Angel Sarah Rampersad.
Rampersad's family chose to exclude Mamdani to 'limit any political distractions', according to the New York Post.
The funeral was held at Calvary Assembly of God Church in Ozone Park, Queens, with Governor Kathy Hochul speaking.
Mamdani's prepared remarks were later released by his office, honoring Rampersad's sacrifice.
Rampersad, 28, was killed in an Iranian attack on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan on July 17.
