Yippee ki-yay Zohran!<\/p>\n

\u201cDie Hard\u201d actor Robert Davi unloaded on Mayor Zohran Mamdani in a fiery social media video, bashing the socialist Democrat for erasing New York\u2019s Italian-American heritage after City Hall released a map of immigrant enclaves that omitted Little Italy.<\/p>\n

The map, titled \u201cNew York City Immigrant Enclaves,\u201d identified neighborhoods including Little Palestine, Little Egypt and Little Africa, but ignored historic Little Italy and several traditionally Irish and Jewish immigrant areas.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy grandparents came from Sicily and Naples and they taught me, speak the English. This is America. God bless America,\u201d the 75-year-old Hollywood tough guy raged in a blistering rant posted Friday on X.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy grandfather enlisted in World War I and got wounded three times \u2026 he helped build New York City as an immigrant, an Italian immigrant.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was born in Astoria, Queens, you jerk. I understand the lifeblood of New York City and the immigrant populations and all peoples.<\/p>\n

Then he gave 34-year-old Mamdani \u2014 born in Kampala, Uganda \u2014 some advice.<\/p>\n

\u201cGo back to where you belong, Mamdani, go back to where you belong and run for office there,\u201d thundered the actor, who lives in Apollo Beach, Fla., and played played FBI Special Agent Big Johnson in \u201cDie Hard.\u201d<\/p>\n

Davi also ripped into Mamdani for skipping the traditional installation mass for New York Archbishop Ronald Hicks at St. Patrick\u2019s Cathedral in February 2026.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd what you did to the Catholic Church by snubbing the Archbishop. You jerk,\u201d Davi raged. \u201cWhat you did, snub little Italy, and you wanna take down the statues.\u201d<\/p>\n

Only after catching some serious blowback from dozens of groups \u2014 including the Italian American Civil Rights League, which accused the mega-left-leaning administration of erasing Italian Americans \u2014 Mamdani said his administration now plans to add Little Italy, according to Fox News.<\/p>\n

Davi\u2019s scorched-earth rant quickly lit up X, where supporters cheered on the veteran actor.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI agree with every word,\u201d wrote one commenter on X. \u201cGet rid of these scumbags.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another piled on: \u201cAs an Iranian; kick out Mamdani from office. He is very dangerous for USA and the rest of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAmen. Stand for American Values or go stand on the line for the next plane out,\u201d a third wrote. \u201cHe is a disgrace and should be removed. America for Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n
