Hello, this is Victor Davis Hanson for the Daily Signal.
On July 3, the mayor of New York, Zohran Mamdani—and I don’t quite know why the mayor seems to think he speaks for the entire nation—but he wanted to give a Fourth of July speech to the nation at large. It wasn’t a speech; it was an indictment.
And what I could condense his speech [down to], it was essentially that America was ruled by white racists, and they had been very unfair in the past to everyone but themselves, including people, as he said, quote-unquote, the rest of us. He included himself in the group of people supposedly who had calloused hands, who did the work, but they were not paid fairly, or they got the raw end of the deal in a racist and unfair America.
He also said it was based, it being privilege, was based on the right shade of skin and the right accent. And again, he included himself as if he had been a victim.
There’s two things about Mamdani everybody should remember. One, he’s very, very wealthy, and he’s very, very privileged. Two, he’s very racist.
