NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Hollywood veteran Jon Voight has a dire warning for New Yorkers.

The Oscar-winning actor released a video message this week accusing Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani of steering the nation’s biggest city straight into a ditch. He also called on President Donald Trump to intervene.

In the video posted on X, Voight claimed Mamdani will “take down the city that never sleeps,” warning that New York “will turn into a forbidden place of darkness.” He added, “This mayor will destroy this city.”

Voight accused the incoming mayor of pushing a socialist takeover of a city built on “blood, sweat, and tears.”

He declared, “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. This must be stopped, and his mayoralty should be terminated immediately.” According to Voight, New Yorkers are staring down a total unraveling of what makes the city tick.



“You, the people of the greatest city, New York, are in danger of losing your city to this communist fool. We, the people, must stand for the greatest nation’s purpose, the honor of our flag, the red, white, and blue, and for which it stands, one nation under God, with liberty and justice for all,” he said. “This country, the United States of America, is the land of our greatest achievement, the American dream.”

Voight insisted Americans “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’s wealth and turn it into a socialist crap city.”

“Let this be a warning to the people, and may God bless. May God bless,” he continued. “This city will turn into a forbidden place of darkness.” Voight added, “The blood, sweat, and tears that the city of New York was built on will turn into a virtual refugee shelter for the radical Muslim ideology.”

Hollywood divided as Zohran Mamdani wins New York mayoral race

Mamdani’s victory on November 4, which saw him defeat independent Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa, prompted several Hollywood personalities to take sides.

'Sex and the City' star Cynthia Nixon is practically floating on air over the new mayor. She celebrated him on social media, writing, “I love this young man so, so much! He is a miracle of nature, and I would follow him to the ends of the earth.”

On the other hand, Michael Rapaport is throwing tomatoes from the balcony, he has previously blasted Mamdani online for dining at “one of the priciest joints in NYC” while living in a rent-stabilized apartment.



At the start of his second term in January, President Trump appointed Voight, Mel Gibson, and Sylvester Stallone as “special ambassadors” to the entertainment industry. The role was aimed at tackling Hollywood’s decline in foreign production.
