An old interview with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has caused a backlash from conservatives. They say he used a fake Ugandan accent while talking about his mother's Disney film.

In 2016, Mamdani talked about Ugandan culture on a South African radio station. He said he was from Uganda but also grew up in New York.

Mamdani said, 'I'm from Uganda, but I also grew up in New York. In New York, people are hesitant to dance.'

Mamdani compared dancing in New York and Uganda. He said people in Uganda dance a lot, but in New York, they are hesitant.
