Vice President JD Vance roasted the municipal candidate in New York City, Zahran Mamdani, to calm the United States on Independence Day, “Who is believed to be hell?”
Mamdani, the Democratic candidate born in Uganda to lead the country’s most inhabitant city, said that the United States is “beautiful”, but it is “contradictory” and “incomplete” in one position on the July 4 holiday:
He concluded his message with “No Kings in America”, referring to the left “no kings” Protests This happened throughout the country in June.
Speaking at the Prize for the State Finals Award at the Clairemont Institute in Rancho Santa in California, on Saturday, Vans called Mamdani’s hypocrisy coming from a migrant family that fled to the United States for a better life:
“Today is July 5, 2025, which means, as he all knows, we celebrated yesterday the 249th anniversary of our nation,” said the vice president of the attendees. “As you know, the person who wants to lead our largest city, according to multiple media reports, never mentioned the day of America’s independence seriously, but when he did this year, this is what he said – and this is a real quote.”
Mamdani’s exact words were, “America is beautiful, contradictory, incomplete. I am proud of our country even as we are constantly striving to improve it, protect our democracy and deepen it, to fulfill its promise to everyone who invites it to the house. A happy day. No kings in America.”
After reading Mamdani’s publication, Vans said: “There is no gratitude in these words, there is no feeling because of this land and the people who turned its structure into the strongest nation on the face of the earth.”
Vans continued to refer to the family of the ethnic conflict, Mamdani, the Indian heritage, forced to flee under the leadership of the former president of Uganda, Edi Amin, to reach freedom in the United States:
Zahran’s father, Mamdani, fled from Uganda when the tyrant Amin decided to purify the residents of his Indian mother. The Mamdani family fled the violent racist hatred, only to come to this country – a country built by people who never knew it, overflowing with his family, and providing a haven of a kind of violent ethnic conflict that is common in the history of the world, but it is not common here – and he dares, on the 249th anniversary, to clarify it by pushing it to adhere to it. “
I wonder, did he read ever messages from the boy’s soldiers in the Union Army to the parents and loved ones they did not see again? Have he ever visited the cemetery of a member of his family, who gave his life to build the type of society where his family can escape racist theft and racist violence? Have he ever looked at the mirror and realized that he might not be alive without the generosity of a country that dares an insult in most of his holy days?
“Who thinks he is?” Vans asked, before applause from the audience.
