Stephen King came to Zohram Mamdani’s defense after James Woods sent out a political message.

The horror author replied to the actor on X, formerly known as Twitter, after Woods expressed how people were “easily fooled” by Mamdani‘s promises to the city of New York. Mamdani recently won the Mayoral election against Andrew Cuomo, an independent candidate and former governor of New York, and republican candidate Curtis Sliwa.

Woods wrote on the platform, “Wait a minute. So this little commie is, of course, promising free stuff to everybody, BUT he’s asking for money from his constituents before he even takes office. It’s just sickening how easily fooled people can be. If schools stopped teaching DEI and ‘gender’ nonsense, and stuck to history, social studies, and economics, this guy would be panhandling under a bridge.”

The IT author quote replied to the post and wrote, “I agree that it’s sickening how easily people can be fooled. Look who they elected President!”

Woods was replying to Mamdani’s video post, thanking New Yorkers for their vote after making history. Mamdani will be the first Muslim Mayor of New York City.

In the video, the Mayor-elect tells New Yorkers that they could start donating to transition2025.com because the transition will require “staff, research, and an infrastructure that can meet this moment.”

Some of the things Mamdani has promised New Yorkers includes lowering the cost of rent, free buses and more.

This is not the first time King has spoken out again Trump.

The Shining author has openly endorsed “No Kings” protests, which Trump supporters have labeled as “Hate America” rallies.

Massive crowds of demonstrators marched and assembled throughout the U.S. on Saturday, October 18, to protest what they perceive as the government’s rapid slide toward authoritarianism under Trump. Protesters took to the streets in major cities including New York City, Boston, Atlanta, Chicago and Los Angeles.

House Speaker Mike Johnson circulated an article claiming that the demonstrations were being bankrolled by George Soros’ foundations and took to X, “It turns out the ‘Hate America’ Rallies tomorrow are being funded by the billionaire who hates America the MOST. Anyone surprised?”

King fired back at his remarks, writing on X, “They are actually Love America rallies, Mike. Ordinary people, man, trying to save the country from a despot.”
