'The end of the world': Fox News can't handle Mamdani's big win



Zohran Mamdani had a decisive victory on Tuesday night and is now New York
City’s mayor-elect. And Fox News is extremely mad about it all.

The right-wing network had to cover the results as they came in, and the mood
was somber as it became clear that the Democratic socialist running on a
populist left-wing policy platform would cruise to an easy win.

“I honestly feel bad. I have friends of mine in New York—my phone is blowing
up—they are officially depressed and scared,” said Sean Hannity, Fox’s leading
primetime host.

Bret Baier, the network’s lead “news” anchor suggested during the coverage
that Mamdani’s theme song should be the Beatles’ “Back in the U.S.S.R,”
reinforcing the network’s false mantra that the socialist candidate is a
“communist.”

As conspiracy theorist Maria Bartiromo’s show on Fox’s sister network Fox
Business began on Wednesday morning, the R.E.M song “It’s the End of the World
as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)” played over footage panning over New York
City. Ironically, R.E.M lead singer Michael Stipe endorsed Mamdani and has
advocated for his election via social media.

On “Fox and Friends,” co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy on Wednesday argued that
Mamdani’s win was a wake-up call to parents across the country, noting that his
strong support from younger voters is a purportedly sinister sign of things to
come.

“I have always said, it’s really about us adults. If you are not talking to
your kids about socialism—somebody else is. And clearly young people, if you
look at these poll numbers, voted in huge majorities for Zohran Mamdani,” she
said.

Fox News spent months attacking Mamdani, circulating falsehoods and racist
attacks against the candidate as he generated grassroots excitement in New York
City and across the country. Fox even pushed the idea that he should be
deported.

It didn’t work. Voters didn’t listen. They supported the candidate, and it
wasn’t even close. And Fox just can’t handle it.
