Vance Tells Americans To Reject Mamdani-Style Critiques On Independence Day
Vice President JD Vance traveled to New York City on Saturday and gave an Independence Day speech that was worthy of praise.
His speech followed one on Friday from self-avowed socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani, and the contrast couldn’t be more stark.
While Mamdani used the occasion – sitting behind George Washington’s desk – to trash the country that took him in and has given him so much, Vance’s speech focused on all the good that America has done for its citizens and for the world.
“We celebrate 250 years of America facing the future without fear. We celebrate 250 years of proving what a free people can achieve by the providence of our almighty Creator,” he said.
Vance went on to urge the country to unite on America’s 250th birthday and remember exactly why and how it was founded.
“We are a people formed by generations of self-governance and personal industry. We are formed by Frontier Assembly Hall and Congregation, by River Valley and Prairie and Factory Floor,” Vance shared.
“We are formed by the conviction that we are bound to one another, not only by bloodline or creed alone, but by a common character, a shared faith, a shared future,” he said.
