Actor Robert Davi sharply criticized New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani in a public statement, accusing him of promoting Marxist and communist ideas while calling for stronger assimilation into American society and suggesting constitutional changes governing who should be eligible to hold public office.

Davi began by saying his remarks were directed at Mamdani's political views rather than any religion or ethnicity.

“Dear fellow Americans, this is not a disparagement on anyone, any race, or any creed. Not against Muslims, not against Arabs, not against Indians, not against any other nationality,” Davi said.

He then made clear that his criticism was focused on Mamdani and his political ideology.

“It's a rant against Zohan Mandami and his leftist, Marxist, communist ways. Go back to where you were born, Mandami. You don't belong in America. Go back to where you belong, and go run for office there,” Davi said.

Davi extended his criticism to other elected officials, saying they should either assimilate into American culture or leave public office.

“And the same thing with Elon Omar and and the other one, whatever the hell the name is. Go back, get out of office. Take off your head scarves. You shouldn't be in office. Assimilate or get out,” he said.

The actor contrasted his views with the experience of his own immigrant family.

“My grandparents came from Sicily and Naples, and they taught me speak of the English. This is America. God bless America,” Davi said.

He recalled his grandfather's military service during World War I.

“My grandfather enlisted in World War One, fought, got wounded three times, critically wounded, and went back in office. He helped build New York City as an immigrant, Italian immigrant, as the Irish and the Germans and the Scottish and the Jewish, many immigrants,” Davi said.

While criticizing Mamdani, Davi emphasized that he was not condemning Muslims generally.

“There were less than 100 Muslims at the turn of the 19th century in New York City. You piece of garbage, and this is no disparagement. I have many Muslim friends, Islamic friends, wonderful people that are not Marxists, communists, and socialists,” Davi said.

He also praised many Hispanic immigrants while continuing to criticize Mamdani's political agenda.

“And this new generation of New York City boomers or idiots, and the other immigrants, Hispanic immigrants that are wonderful people and hardworking, and understand what you're making of New York City and your little policies are full of shit, Mandami,” Davi said.

Davi argued that Mamdani should not remain in office.

“You should be pulled out of office. There should be a there should be a constitutional amendment that a jerk off like you shouldn't be able to run,” he said.

He suggested that additional residency or generational requirements should exist for individuals seeking elected office.

“You should spend time in America, at least a generation, especially those of you that come from a country that has a totally different philosophical ideology bent,” Davi said.

The actor also criticized what he described as Mamdani's treatment of the Catholic Church and New York City's Italian-American community.

“And what you did to the Catholic Church by snubbing the Archbishop, you jerk, you jerk! What you did, snub Little Italy, and you want to take down the statues?” Davi said.

He continued by expressing anger over those actions.

“You're a jerk, Mandami, and I hope every New York Italian American and Irish American spits on you when they see you. I would spit on you if I saw you. Shame on you, you garbage man! Shame on you! Respect the city you're in and understand the people that helped build it,” Davi said.

He added that others should speak out more forcefully.

“And if they don't have the courage to speak up, so shame on them,” Davi said.

Davi also referenced a personal loss connected to the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

“I had an aunt who died at the tower on September 11th, Mandami,” he said.

He concluded by accusing Mamdani of being dishonest and suggesting that he might seek public office himself.

“You're a phony. You're a farce. And most politicians are afraid to tell you to your face. I feel like coming back to New York City and running for office, running for mayor. I was born in Astoria, Queens. You jerk. I understand the lifeblood of New York City and the immigrant populations, and all peoples. I've been all over the world, Mandami. All right, you're a phony. You're a farce. You're a Marxist communist plug,” Davi said.
