Ugandan-born Democratic Socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has announced that he'll be delivering a "major" speech on Friday to mark the nation's 250th birthday. According to NBC News' Allan Smith, who has the scoop, Mamdani will be surrounded by recently naturalized American citizens. Great … an immigrant commie delivering an Independence Day address.

Mamdani has been in office for a few months and plans to use a special address tomorrow on the eve of America’s 250th anniversary to challenge the foundations of the United States, recite a list of our ills and transgressions, and offer socialism as a solution, plus ending Israel

This level of propaganda is untenable.

His accomplishments so far are filling pot holes.
Why do we a need an anti-American speech from a trust fund baby communist?

He should worry about NYC and stop grandstanding like a national figure

NYC should worry about NYC.

He's just like Obama. A PR stunt with no substance.

Let’s give it the attention it deserves and totally ignore it

A communist has nothing to do with America 250. He is just a brief mistake that NYC will hopefully recover from.

Oh great. I’m super interested in what a guy who has been an American for eight years thinks about my country.

This could be his red line and he may be crossing it. The more this country knows what he’s really about, the better. He thinks everyone will fall in love with him because he only surrounds himself with young, ignorant, NYC transplants, who eat up his every word.

So a socialist will be lecturing all of us on all the evils that America has stood for over the years while using a Bennetton ad's worth of fellow socialists whispering "Death to Capitalism/America" behind him... and doing it ALL with his trademark used car salesman smile.

Joe McCarthy did nothing wrong. It's time we roll the clock back 40 years at least on how we treat commies.
NBC News is so excited about this scoop that it's posted about it at least three times. We're sure the network will carry this major address by New York City's mayor live and in its entirety.
