Former Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt blasted New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s July 4th speech by saying “communists always start with the bad memories” after Mamdani marked America’s 250th anniversary of independence through the lens of New York City’s immigrant story.
Mamdani argued that patriotism requires confronting the nation’s shortcomings.
“Our nation marks 250 years since we declared our independence,” Mamdani said, speaking from the Governor’s Room at New York City Hall on Friday.
“America is exceptional because here, nothing is fixed in place.”
Pratt sharply criticized Mamdani’s appearance at George Washington’s ceremonial desk, framing the address as part of what he described as a broader ideological effort to reshape national identity.
“We all had to sit and watch that vile commie mayor sit on the wrong side of our Founding Fathers’ desk to try and lecture us about our own history,” Pratt said in a post on X.
Pratt argued that political movements he associates with communism rely on erasing historical memory to weaken national identity.
“The communist must attack your history,” he said.
“Why?
Because history is what anchors you.
It’s what makes us attached to something.”
He expanded on the analogy, comparing national history to a family home built through shared experiences and memories, saying, “If you have no memories to attach you to it, it’s just wood and drywall- who cares?
Get rid of it.”
Pratt dismissed Mamdani’s framing of American history as exclusionary, arguing instead that national pride is essential.
“It’s okay to love America; not only is it okay, it’s necessary,” Pratt said.
Pratt insisted the U.S. remains defined by its historical legacy and sacrifices and concluded with a forceful defense of American exceptionalism and Independence Day traditions, saying, “Be proud of your history; show some American pride.
Raise your plaid, raise your finger, and say, F—k you, communist.”
