Communist NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who just came to this country, chose to become an American, is deciding he is the foremost authority to tell Americans what it means to be American.

He has the AUDACITY, on America's 250th birthday, to call our great nation "an arena of supremacy" — a nation that "persecutes," ruled by "oligarchs."

He sneers that his fellow Americans are "small, weak, unoriginal."

He says “ICE is invading our streets” while he endorses and welcomes an invasion of third-world savages.

Millions dream of the gift he was given.

A man who spends his time burning the most American city to the ground does not deserve to be America, let alone dictate to others what it means to be an America.

[Sara Eisen @SaraEisen]

Mamdani rewrites 250 years of history on America’s birthday - denigrating wealth and innovation and capitalism which has made America exceptional

[Merriam-Webster @MerriamWebster]

Why is it ‘cancelled’ in the U.K. but ‘canceled’ in the U.S.?

Because we gave them that L in 1776.

We're already here. Billionaire tax became $50m tax in 3 weeks. Soon it will be anyone with $1m in home equity.

Why? Because you MUST tax the middle class to raise any real amount of money to cover the spending Ro and others want to spend.

It's always a middle class tax.

[Joseph Carlson @joecarlsonshow]

From ‘billionaires’ to anything above $50 million in 6 days time.

Next stop, anyone that has over $1 million net worth. Which is almost anyone with some home equity and a 401k.

Slippery slope is not a fallacy. Socialists will not stop until they control everything you work for.

[Mike Solana @micsolana]

khanna's 'billionaire wealth tax,' which is not a tax but an asset seizure in which he tallies everything you own, then demands a percentage *on top* of what you're taxed — every single year — is already targeting anyone worth $50 million or more. this ends with your 401k.

[Steven Sinofsky @stevesi]

Just like that, no longer a billionaires tax.

[Yogi @Houseofyogi]

Mamdani got the whole American dream in eight years. Came here as a kid, got citizenship in 2018, now he runs the biggest city in the country.

And on America's 250th birthday he sat down at George Washington's desk and told us everything wrong with the place.

I'm not even angry. I'm disappointed.

Here's the picture he painted:

He mocked the people who supposedly think America "becomes less the more people it welcomes."

Said it belongs "only to those with the right accent or the right shade of skin."

Called our streets a place where "masked agents" are "terrorizing" people.

Said the country's wealth was built by "calloused, dirt-streaked hands" and then left to rot.

Looked out from Washington's desk and called the Americans who built this economy "small" and "weak."

Okay Mamdani. You hate it so much, why'd you come here?

Let's put that picture up against the actual country.

He's a Muslim kid born in Uganda and he's the mayor of New York. A guy back in his own birthplace said it plainly: over there he'd have had to claw his way in. Here we held the door open.

We've got the most diverse Congress in our history. It was never about skin color, no matter how many years the left spent forcing that story onto a country that kept proving them wrong.

A machine that grinds immigrants down? Nearly half the Fortune 500 was started by immigrants or their kids. 231 companies.

Apple, son of a Syrian.

Google, a kid who came over from the Soviet Union.

Amazon, son of a Cuban.

Put them together and they out-earn Japan, out-earn Germany. That's not a country grinding people into the dirt. That's a country handing them the keys.

It's been and always will be the land of opportunity.

And more people want in here than anywhere else alive. 53 million immigrants live here, the most of any nation on earth. We're 4% of the world's people and we hold 17% of the world's migrants.

Every year since 2007 you ask the whole planet where it'd go if it could go anywhere, the answer comes back the same. America. Number one. The line to get in wraps around the globe.

Here's the line he won't draw. I will.

Legal immigration built this country. The strivers. That's the front door working the way it's supposed to, and I'll defend it all day. You need to earn your spot, respect our laws and customs.

But that's not what we're running anymore.

Four years of Biden's open border blew the doors off. The foreign-born share of this country just hit 15.8%. An all-time high. Higher than Ellis Island, more than triple what it was in 1970.

The Census Bureau didn't expect that number until 2042 and we smashed past it. And on top of it, a record 14 million people here illegally, who cut in front of every single person who did it the right way.

The front door built America from Ellis Island to today. The fence is a different thing. Pretending they're the same is how you end up calling every American who wants a secure border a bigot.

And we've earned the right to standards. This is the most wanted country on the planet. We get to choose who walks in. You want in? Build something. Contribute. Earn it. Nobody's owed anything.

You come illegally, you commit crimes, you steal from taxpayers, you should get deported. That's not terrorizing the streets.

Mamdani walked through that front door in 2018. He of all people should be defending it. Instead he stood at Washington's desk and spent his speech blurring the line between the people who came the right way and the ones who broke in.

The man even admitted out loud that America is exceptional. Then spent the rest explaining why it isn't. On the one day the whole country stops to celebrate itself, he reached for the darkest story he could find.

That's not a man who's lost about America. That's a man who's angry at the country that gave him everything he has.

You don't like it here? Nobody made you come.

Nobody's stopping you from leaving. But you won't. They never do. Because there's nowhere else on earth that hands a person this much of a shot.

This country took him in and made him a mayor. He owes it. It doesn't owe him a thing.

We're not perfect. We're the best odds a human being has ever been handed. 250 years old, the richest and freest country alive, and the whole world is still clawing to get in while nobody's trying to leave.

They hold America to a standard they'd never hold anyone else to, then act shocked it falls short.

It's nonsense.

Respect the country. Especially when it's the reason you're standing at that desk at all.

[Rothmus 🏴 @Rothmus]

Mamdani is coming out to colonize America’s memory and conquer its story so he can gut what actually built it and replace the whole thing with his version.

He plants himself behind Washington’s desk, surrounds himself with “recent arrivals” waving little flags, and lectures the country that its real greatness was never strength, achievement, or the people who carved a civilization out of wilderness.

No, according to him it’s “nothing is fixed,” it’s contradictions, it’s endless dissent, and it’s the new demographics walking in today who get to define what “we” are.

That’s the classic conqueror’s playbook.

You don’t need to win on the field anymore when you can just rewrite the identity of the conquered until the founders and the builders look like footnotes or villains in their own house.

He calls it taking measure of who we are as a nation, but he’s measuring us against the version he wants, one where the original stock, the culture that actually produced the experiment, gets dissolved into a permanent revolution of grievances and arrivals.

Same old colonial tactic, just wearing a suit and sitting in city hall while the semiquincentennial clocks in.

[Riley Gaines @Riley_Gaines_]

You just pardoned an illegal who repeatedly sexually assaulted a TEN YEAR OLD. Not to mention you benefited from billions of taxpayers dollars being spent fraudulently in your state.

You are the most morally
bankrupt, corrupt American politician possibly ever. Sit this one out.

[Buzz Patterson @BuzzPatterson]

I’m 70 years old. My father was US Air Force. So was I. We’ve been fighting our nations wars for 60 years.

Mamdani immigrated here and became a legal US citizen in 2018.

How dare a communist Ugandan lecture ME on what it means to be an American! He has no clue and he’s destroying NYC. He’s trying to destroy America.

My pissed off meter just maxed. Circuit breakers are popping,

Eff off, @NYCMayor. You’re in way over your head “American.”
