Reality TV star and former LA mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt unloaded on New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s July 4th speech, accusing him of using communist tactics to attack American history.
Pratt’s fiery response came after Mamdani marked America’s 250th anniversary of independence by framing patriotism as confronting the nation’s shortcomings rather than celebrating its achievements.
“Communists always start with the bad memories,” Pratt said in a viral post on X.
“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.”
Mamdani delivered his address from the Governor’s Room at New York City Hall on Friday, speaking from George Washington’s ceremonial desk. “Our nation marks 250 years since we declared our independence,” Mamdani said. “America is exceptional because here, nothing is fixed in place.”
The socialist mayor argued that true patriotism requires acknowledging national failures — a framing Pratt sharply rejected.

Pratt accused Mamdani of employing a broader ideological strategy to erode American identity by attacking the nation’s historical foundations.
“The communist must attack your history,” Pratt said. “Why? Because history is what anchors you. It’s what makes us attached to something.”
He compared national history to a family home built through shared experiences and memories.
“If you have no memories to attach you to it, it’s just wood and drywall — who cares? Get rid of it,” Pratt said.
Pratt dismissed Mamdani’s approach as an attempt to reshape national identity by erasing the pride Americans feel in their country’s legacy and sacrifices.
“It’s okay to love America; not only is it okay, it’s necessary.”
The former reality TV star concluded with a forceful defense of American exceptionalism and Independence Day traditions.
“Be proud of your history; show some American pride,” Pratt said. “Raise your plaid, raise your finger, and say, F—k you, communist.”
Mamdani, a self-described democratic socialist, has drawn national attention for positioning himself as a left-wing alternative to President Trump’s vision for America.
