Pratt accused Mamdani of cultural appropriation, calling him a &#8220;theater kid commie&#8221; and questioning his authenticity, particularly targeting his political plans like a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/chicago-mulls-government-owned-grocery-store-as-retailers-bolt-city\/\" title=\"Chicago considers government-owned grocery store as retailers leave city.\">city-run grocery store<\/a>. The video,from Mamdani&#8217;s interview for the Disney film &#8220;queen of Katwe,&#8221; showed him speaking in an Ugandan accent,which Pratt denounced as fake. Mamdani&#8217;s background includes being a music supervisor for the film and performing as a rapper under stage names &#8220;Young Cardamom&#8221; and &#8220;Mr. Cardamom.&#8221; Pratt&#8217;s criticism extends to other aspects of Mamdani&#8217;s career,including his political initiatives and public speeches,with some members of the public also questioning Mamdani&#8217;s sincerity.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Former Los Angeles mayoral candidate and reality TV star <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/spencer-pratt\/\">Spencer Pratt<\/a> slammed New York Mayor <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/zohran-mamdani\/\">Zohran Mamdani<\/a> over a <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2u_6Z4W5tEs\">video of Mamdani<\/a> speaking in an Ugandan accent that resurfaced online on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLook at theater kid commie Mamdani running another fake accent and appropriating African culture,\u201d Pratt posted on X. \u201cCommunists are all frauds.
