Sky News host James Macpherson reacts to a video released by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. “Zohran Mamdani, who, to my mind, is one of the most divisive people in the United States,” Mr Macpherson said. “While everyone was celebrating the nation's 250th anniversary, Mamdani released this video, implying that America was dominated by racists. “The height of this guy- he only became an American citizen eight years ago.”
