New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani delivered a Fourth of July message that sounded like America is on its deathbed. Immigrant citizens standing on each side of him as he sat at a desk used by George Washington were even more stoic.

July Fourth is supposed to be a celebratory time. Not for Mamdani, who looked as if he had lost his best friend.

After some obligatory praise for the nation to which he immigrated, Mamdani said that for "the powerful, America is an arena of supremacy, where only a select few are allowed freedom, where not all are created equal. America, if you ask them, becomes less the more people it welcomes. America, they will tell you, belongs only to those with the right accent or the right shade of skin." He wrongly equates legal and illegal immigration.

He told a blatant lie. America has a history of trying to right wrongs and prove the opposite of his claim, as in civil rights legislation, court rulings, the election of Barack Obama, and even Mamdani. It is part of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)........
