VP JD Vance Slams NYC Mayoral Candidate Mamdani "Who The Hell Does He Think He Is?"

NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, JUL 08 – Vice President Vance condemned Mamdani's remarks as ungrateful, highlighting his family's refugee history and accusing him of ideological contradictions and detachment from working-class voters.

  • During his July 5, 2025 address at the Claremont Institute's Statesmanship Award dinner in California, Vice President JD Vance strongly criticized Zohran Mamdani, who is running for mayor of New York City.
  • Vance launched this critique after Mamdani's July 4 Independence Day statement describing America as "beautiful, contradictory, unfinished," which Vance saw as disrespectful despite Mamdani's family having fled ethnic cleansing in Uganda.
  • Vance accused Mamdani of lacking gratitude, asserting Mamdani never publicly honored America's independence in earnest and questioned Mamdani's appreciation for U.S. freedoms amid his political proposals and coalition base.
  • Vance said, "There is no gratitude in those words," and asked, "Who the hell does he think he is?" for insulting the country that offered his family refuge from violence.
  • This confrontation highlights ongoing tensions around Mamdani's possible upset of current Mayor Eric Adams and reflects a broader partisan debate over patriotism and identity within U.S. politics.
