BEVERLY HILLS, CA<\/b>\u2014In a fiery and politically charged video released on November 14, 2025, veteran actor and staunch Donald Trump supporter Jon Voight urged the former President to “terminate” the recent election of New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Kwame Mamdani, warning that the Democratic Socialist victory would turn the city into a “socialist crap city” and a “forbidden place of darkness.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Voight’s two-minute video, posted to X (formerly Twitter) just ten days after the election, has ignited a fresh wave of controversy, drawing intense criticism for its anti-democratic language and Islamophobic undertones directed at Mamdani, a Ugandan-born state assemblyman and practicing Muslim.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Landslide and the Backlash<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Zohran Mamdani, 34, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, secured a decisive victory on November 4, 2025, with <\/span>50.4%<\/span><\/b> of the popular vote, defeating former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (running as an Independent) who garnered <\/span>41.6%<\/span><\/b>, and Republican Curtis Sliwa with <\/span>7.1%<\/span><\/b>.<\/span> Mamdani’s win, which made him the first Muslim and first South Asian mayor of New York City, was historic not only for the demographics but also for the turnout, which exceeded <\/span>2 million votes<\/span><\/b>, the highest for a NYC mayoral race since 1969.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Data reveals the key to Mamdani’s success: overwhelming support from young voters (ages 18-29).<\/span> According to exit polls, <\/span>75% of youth<\/span><\/b> backed Mamdani, with youth turnout estimated at <\/span>28%<\/span><\/b> of eligible young voters\u2014a significant increase from previous municipal elections.<\/span> Furthermore, young voters of color propelled the victory, with <\/span>85%<\/span><\/b> of young Latino voters and <\/span>83%<\/span><\/b> of young Black voters supporting the Mayor-elect.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Mamdani\u2019s platform\u2014which includes rent stabilization, free bus service, and universal childcare\u2014was framed as a solution to the city’s cost-of-living crisis.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Standing before an American flag, Voight, who was appointed by President Trump as a “Special Ambassador to Hollywood” earlier in 2025, implored: “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. This must be stopped and his mayoralty should be terminated immediately.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Critics swiftly condemned the comments. Social media users and media outlets accused the veteran actor\u2014who won the Best Actor Oscar in 1978 for his role as the paralyzed Vietnam veteran <\/span>Luke Martin<\/span><\/b> in the film <\/span>Coming Home<\/span><\/i><\/b> (directed by Hal Ashby)\u2014of echoing past “unhinged rants.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A View from the West Coast Oasis: Voight’s Beverly Hills Estate<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

The dramatic pronouncements regarding the “darkness” Voight fears for New York City were filmed not from his native Yonkers, New York, but from his sprawling, sun-drenched sanctuary in Beverly Hills, California.<\/span><\/p>\n

Voight\u2019s primary residence is a gated, secluded estate of approximately 3.3 to 3.4 acres<\/b> on Oak Pass Road in the exclusive Beverly Park\/Beverly Glen enclave of the 90210 area. This luxury neighborhood is a haven for high-profile figures, offering seclusion and proximity to high-end shopping on Rodeo Drive.<\/span><\/p>\n

Property and Political Contrast:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    Size and Scope:<\/b> The property features expansive lawns and a two-story Midcentury Modern home, complete with a swimming pool and custom driveway\u2014a stark contrast to the dense, often costly urban living Mamdani has pledged to reform.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Market Value:<\/b> The estate highlights Voight’s considerable wealth. The actor listed the property in 2019 for nearly $20 million<\/b>, later reducing the asking price to $14 million<\/b> in 2020, though public records indicate he has retained ownership.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Political Profile:<\/span><\/b> Voight’s staunch support for Trump has been long-standing, culminating in his receipt of the <\/span>Presidential Medal of Arts<\/span><\/b> in 2019, a key political honor.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The setting of Voight’s latest appeal\u2014a quiet, millionaire-studded canyon retreat, currently experiencing mild, sunny 72\u00b0F<\/b> weather\u2014underscores the geographic and ideological distance between the actor and the working-class concerns driving the democratic socialist movement in New York he so forcefully opposes.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
