Italian-American 'Die Hard' actor Robert Davi unleashes wild 'X' rant at NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani

Yippee ki-yay, Zohran.

Robert Davi, the actor best known to many fans for his role in “Die Hard,” took aim at Mayor Zohran Mamdani in a heated video posted to social media, accusing the socialist Democrat of overlooking New York City’s Italian-American roots after City Hall shared a map of immigrant communities that did not include Little Italy.

The map, labeled “New York City Immigrant Enclaves,” highlighted areas such as Little Palestine, Little Egypt and Little Africa, while leaving out historic Little Italy, along with several neighborhoods long associated with Irish and Jewish immigrant communities.

“My grandparents came from Sicily and Naples and they taught me, speak the English. This is America. God bless America,” Davi, 75, said in the sharply worded rant shared Friday on X.

He also pointed to his family’s service and contributions to the city, saying, “My grandfather enlisted in World War I and got wounded three times … he helped build New York City as an immigrant, an Italian immigrant.”

Davi, a Queens native, continued, “I was born in Astoria, Queens, you jerk. I understand the lifeblood of New York City and the immigrant populations and all peoples.”

He then turned his attention directly to Mamdani, 35, who was born in Kampala, Uganda, offering him pointed advice in the same blistering tone.

Davi then addressed Mamdani, 35, who was born in Kampala, Uganda, with a blunt message of advice.

“Go back to where you belong, Mamdani, go back to where you belong and run for office there,” thundered the actor, who lives in Apollo Beach, Fla., and played played FBI Special Agent Big Johnson in “Die Hard.”

Davi also ripped into Mamdani for skipping the traditional installation Mass for New York Archbishop Ronald Hicks at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in February 2026.

“And what you did to the Catholic Church by snubbing the Archbishop. You jerk,” Davi raged. “What you did, snub little Italy, and you wanna take down the statues.”

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

Davi’s scorched-earth rant quickly lit up X, where supporters cheered on the veteran actor.

“I agree with every word,” wrote one commenter on X. “Get rid of these scumbags.”

Another piled on: “As an Iranian; kick out Mamdani from office. He is very dangerous for USA and the rest of the world.”

“Amen. Stand for American Values or go stand on the line for the next plane out,” a third wrote. “He is a disgrace and should be removed. America for Americans.”

The mayor’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
