New York City’s Democrats have nominated the radical socialist Zohran Mamdani for mayor, and during his recent visit to The View, co-host Whoopi Goldberg praised him effusively. Novi Zhukovsky reports in The New York Sun:
Whoopi Goldberg, the principal co-host of the ABC News program “The View,” lavished praise on Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani — the front runner in New York City’s upcoming mayoral election — on Wednesday. She did so all while repeatedly mispronouncing his last name in the very way Mr. Mamdani himself once criticized Andrew Cuomo for doing.
Ms. Goldberg, referring to the virulently anti-Israel politician as “Zohran Mamdami,” introduced the 33-year-old assemblymember as a “political lightning rod” and effusively praised “his grassroots campaign and social progressive message,” which she claimed, in language that sounded pre-scripted, “is resonating beyond the borders of New York and even has the White House calling him out.”
The studio audience erupted in thunderous applause as Mr. Mamdani took the stage. The cheering grew so prolonged that Ms. Goldberg felt compelled to intervene: “Hold on now, we’ve got an hour on the show, so y’all gonna have to calm down so we can talk to him.” Turning to Mr. Mamdani, she added, “You’re very popular.”
The fawning continued with co-host and ABC News “legal correspondent” Sunny Hostin calling Mr. Mamdani a “rising star in the Democratic Party” and asking him about his “meteoric rise” in politics.
