Whoopi Goldberg tells Mamdani she hopes his policies will ‘remake the nation’ on ‘The View’
The co-hosts of “The View” were exhilarated by the presence of newly inaugurated New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D), but Whoopi Goldberg topped them all with her praise of his policies.
Mamdani was swept into office on the promise of higher rent controls and redistribution of wealth, but he also benefited from opposition that included a scandal-plagued former governor and an unpopular incumbent mayor.
Her comments were met with thunderous applause from the audience.
At the end of the show that aired Monday, Goldberg expressed hope that his socialist policies could be extended to the rest of the nation.
“It’s really nice to have you here. You make sense,” she said to the mayor.
“Thank you!” he responded, laughing.
“Well, because it’s important, you know,” she responded.
“I just want to say, listen, if you can do what you say you can do, you will not only remake the city, but you may help remake the nation.”
Her comments were met with thunderous applause from the audience.
“So my fingers [are] crossed for you!” she added.
Video of Goldberg’s comments were posted to social media, where they were widely condemned.
“He won’t. He says all those things, but it’ll all fail. Then, it’ll be the prime example of what not to do to a city,” said one commenter.
“A lot of people will pay for his mistakes. The only good thing about it is when he ruins the city it’s possible that New York will finally realize that they need a republican in office,” said another critic.
“We want him to go away!! We don’t want this 15 years old jihadist to touch anything!! Whoopi was a great actress some time ago! She is brain dead idiot now!” read another response.
Mamdani said alleviating the housing crisis and lowering the cost of child care were the central objectives of his administration.

Critics of rent control say that state-ordered market interventions lead to fewer open housing units and ironically higher rents.

Social media influencer arrested after mom’s terrifying discovery of cellphone video of her 2-year-old daughter
A Texas social media influencer was arrested over a horrifying video that a woman found of him and her 2-year-old daughter on the man’s phone, according to police.
Victor L. Corey Paillet III, 40, was arrested Friday after a woman said she went through his phone and found the video. She said he had gotten drunk and fallen asleep.
‘He tortured her in that video,’ she said. ‘He literally tortured my daughter. How can you do this to a baby?’
“I’ve never went through his phone before, never, but his phone was right there, and I’m like, I just feel something’s not right,” the woman said to KPRC-TV.
“I clicked on that first video right there,” she added. “It was seven minutes and 53 seconds. … And it said yesterday at 6:43 a.m.”
She provided KPRC with surveillance video from his arrest at her home in Porter.
“You raped my f**king daughter!” a woman screams on the video. “I hope you die!”
The mother of the girl told KPRC that she had been dating Paillet but that she looked through his phone when he said something about being a “demon.”
She says she hasn’t been to stop shaking or crying since seeing the video.
“He tortured her in that video,” she said. “He literally tortured my daughter. How can you do this to a baby?”
Court records say that investigators have discovered other evidence that leads them to believe Paillet had abused other victims. They are asking for help from the public in the investigation.
Paillet is known as “Kandy Red Bread” on social media, where he posts about custom car modifications. He has over 62,000 followers and has been photographed with influential Houston figures.
He has past criminal convictions that include drug possession and a weapons charge.

Paillet is charged with first-degree aggravated sexual assault of a child and promotion of child pornography. He has also been placed on “modified safety watch” to prevent the possibility of him harming himself in custody.
His TikTok profile reads, “Love yourself and don’t trust nobody.”
Paillet is being held without bond.
