Recently, a list of influential supporters of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani was publicly released by his office, sparking controversy. The list included notable individuals associated with high society.
The list aimed to identify wealthy individuals targeted for a new tax on secondary properties.
Included on the list were well-known figures like actress Cynthia Nixon, fashion icon Anna Wintour, and singer Taylor Swift.
Some supporters expressed outrage, such as District 6 Democrat Gale Brewer, who stated she lives in her property year-round and criticized the inaccuracies of the list.
Republican Council Minority Leader David Carr criticized Mamdani, calling him "realtor of the year" for Texas.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio mocked those elite New Yorkers who supported Mamdani, suggesting they must face the repercussions of their voting choices.
Former L.A. mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt went so far as to link Mamdani’s actions to potential violence, claiming it demonstrated a pattern among extreme leftists.
The release of the tax list has led to backlash from both supporters and critics of Mayor Mamdani, highlighting the tensions surrounding his tax proposals and their impact on celebrity backers.
