A clash is set for Friday as Zohran Mamdani speaks ahead of President Trump’s Mount Rushmore address, with Human Events daily host Jack Posobiec arguing it reflects an attempt to “start something new” by rejecting America’s founding.
“This is something that a lot of us warned back when AOC won, I think it was 2018, when she was first elected, that you were going to see more of these, and certainly we do,” he said.
Posobiec also pointed to recent urban elections and demographic change in cities. “We saw New York City, of course, where that happened in the election of Zohran Mamdani, and of course, how his election was absolutely predicated on the back of mass migration,” Posobiec said. “Because it was not native New Yorkers that were thrusting him into office, no. It was new New Yorkers.”
“So you see it with Ilhan Omar coming from Somalia, now there's this new one, she's from Ethiopia,” he said.
Posobiec argued that these shifts are tied to a broader rejection of traditional national identity. “We shouldn't be surprised at all that these very same individuals who don't care about our country, they don't love our country, they're not celebrating America 250 the way that we are,” he said.
He described the competing political messaging as a break from the nation’s founding. “They’re looking at it as a time, and Zohran Mamdani is very clear about what he wants. He’s going to be giving a speech on Friday night before the President's speech at Mount Rushmore all about America's grievances, about America's ills,” Posobiec said.
He continued: “They’re gonna say, we need a new American founding, an America that's better, an America that is better than 1776. They want 2026 to be the start of something new.”
Posobiec said this framing is tied to how he believes historical figures are being treated in public discourse. “This is why they degrade the founders, this is why they degrade the past, degrade our heroes, degrade Teddy Roosevelt, all the rest,” he said. “Because they want you to hate your country.”
He also argued that such attitudes have real-world consequences. “If you hate your country, then you'll accept, you'll say it's a good idea that people are coming to burn it all down, to burn down the institutions,” he said.
Later in the segment, Posobiec shifted to a broader critique of political motivations, saying, “They promise you everything under the sun, but you see that little glint in the eye, it's about revenge, it's about resentment, it's about punishing enemies.”
He concluded by framing the stakes as a political and cultural conflict over who is being targeted. “And guess who those enemies are? It's you, it's the middle class, it's white America.”
