\n\tJon Voight<\/a> has called upon President Trump to \u201cterminate\u201d New York City\u2019s mayoral election of Zohran Mamdani<\/a>. The 86-year-old Oscar-winner, who was appointed the newly invented title of special ambassador to Hollywood by Trump in the first days of his second term, elected to go public with his plea to the president, posting<\/a> a two-minute speech on social media with an American flag in the background.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe the people have put our trust in the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. He, and only he, can stop this horror, as this mayor, Mamdani, will try to destroy New York\u2019s wealth and turn it into a socialist crap city,\u201d Voight said in the video. \u201cLet this be a warning to the people and may God bless.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tVoight, whose primary residence is in Beverly Hills, Calif., centered his speech on Islamophobic rhetoric, claiming that New York would \u201cturn into a virtual refugee shelter for the radical Muslim ideology\u201d and that the days after Mamdani\u2019s election have been \u201cthe most dangerous time for our citizens.\u201d He also erroneously deemed the 34-year-old Mamdani a \u201ccommunist\u201d \u2014 a characterization that the mayor-elect has refuted, describing himself as a \u201cdemocratic socialist.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tNotably, the office of the president does not have legal authority to directly remove a New York City mayor from office.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis mayor will destroy this city. We are obligated to demand our rights for our private sanctuary, our businesses, our property that we all have worked so hard for. And this 35-year-old mayor has no right dictating the rules of socialism for a city built on our highest principles with brick and stone by hard-working Americans,\u201d Voight continued. \u201cThis must be stopped and his mayoralty should be terminated immediately. You \u2014 the people of the greatest city, New York \u2014 are in danger of losing your city to this communist fool.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMamdani won the mayoral election in New York with a majority of the vote, beating former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who ran as an Independent after first losing to Mamdani in the Democratic primary. Mamdani will take office on Jan. 1. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jon Voight has called upon President Trump to \u201cterminate\u201d New York City\u2019s mayoral election of Zohran Mamdani.
