The View Gushes Mamdani Seeking Advice from the ‘Democratic Avengers’

Despite the fact that the Democratic Party had more in common with the Mad Titan Thanos, who wanted to wipe out half of all life in the universe to protect the environment, the loony liberal ladies of ABC’s The View spent part of Friday’s show praising New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani for seeking advice from “the Democratic Avengers” for how to oppose President Trump’s illegal immigration crackdown.

After spending the first few minutes of the show recounting how she dropped an iPad and broke her foot, fill-in moderator Joy Behar kicked off their “Hot Topics” segment by celebrating Mamdani’s first great feat as mayor-elect, speaking to other Democratic politicians for anti-Trump advice:

So, New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has been consulting with democratic governors, including Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, and Maryland Governor Wes Moore. Mamdani is said to be seeking advice on taking a stand against Trump's threats of immigration raids and National Guard deployments. So, is this the smart thing for him to do? And would it make any difference?

“I think it's really smart,” proclaimed co-host Sunny Hostin. “I think it's smart to surround yourself with people that have experience dealing with this administration, have experience dealing with this president, and also having that coalition of expertise.”

 

 

According to Hostin, a Democratic politician speaking with other Democratic politicians meant Mamdani, who had never held down a real job, was “ready to go from day one!” “I'm applauding it! I think it's really impressive!” she clownishly boasted.

Fake Republican Ana Navarro seemed to argue that Mamdani speaking with other Democratic leaders should assuage those who feared his lack of managerial experience:

NAVARRO: One of the things that people were concerned about - many people who didn't vote for him were very concerned – and even some who did vote for him were very concerned about -- regarding Zohran Mamdani is his lack of managerial experience.

BEHAR: Yes. That was one of my – that’s what I thought.

NAVARRO: I think it's very smart for him to each out to three spectacular governors; they are the chief executive officers of their states. Each of them brings something to the table. I think for anybody who is starting a new job where you don't have that much experience, seeking mentorship from people who are doing it well.

 

 

Navarro went on the hope that Mamdani would learn how to “stand up to a bully” from Pritzker, who she lionized by playing a soundbite of him putting his wrists together, as if he was getting arrested, and declaring: “If you come for my people, you come through me. So come and get me.”

“And I think that having these guys, the Democratic Avengers to help him; I think that’s a really good move,” Behar chimed in later. “Oh, I love that. I love that nickname,” Navarro agreed. “You can use that Governor Pritzker,” Behar quipped.

JOY BEHAR: So, New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has been consulting with democratic governors, including Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, and Maryland Governor Wes Moore. Mamdani is said to be seeking advice on taking a stand against Trump's threats of immigration raids and National Guard deployments. So, is this the smart thing for him to do? And would it make any difference?

SUNNY HOSTIN: I think it's really smart. I think it's smart to surround yourself with people that have experience dealing with this administration, have experience dealing with this president, and also having that coalition of expertise. He's hired an all-female team, he's kept the police commissioner here – he’s keeping the commissioner here in New York, who has done, by all accounts, a wonderful job. He's hired 200 lawyers in anticipation of what Trump may do. This is someone who is ready to go from day one! I'm applauding it! I think it's really impressive!

ANA NAVARRO: One of the things that people were concerned about - many people who didn't vote for him were very concerned – and even some who did vote for him were very concerned about -- regarding Zohran Mamdani is his lack of managerial experience.

BEHAR: Yes. That was one of my – that’s what I thought.

NAVARRO: I think it's very smart for him to each out to three spectacular governors; they are the chief executive officers of their states. Each of them brings something to the table.

I think for anybody who is starting a new job where you don't have that much experience, seeking mentorship from people who are doing it well.

And I love the fact that two of those governors, Shapiro and J.B. Pritzker, are Jewish folks, because outside of Israel, this is the city where there is the most Jews in the world. And he's got an issue with that, that he needs to address. You know, J.B. Pritzker's grandparents fled 1940s Ukraine post-war.

And I also hope that he learns – particularly from J.B. Pritzker, who has been dealing with the militarization on the streets of Chicago and the cruel ICE raids to stand up to a bully.

These words from J.B. Pritzker is what I want to hear from Zohran Mamdani.

GOV. J.B. PRITZKER (D-IL) (on MSNBC): If you come for my people, you come through me. So come and get me. [Puts wrists together as if offering himself up for arrest]

BEHAR: To your point. [Points at Alyssa Farah Griffin] You said something about that he's dealing with one of the most powerful administrations. Donald Trump's numbers are getting lower than my boobs, all right?

FARAH GRIFFIN: I mean his ability to use the executive branch.

BEHAR: They’re in the 30s.

FARAH GRIFFIN: His ability to use the executive branch. We've talked about the fact that he’s using the power of the presidency --

SARA HAINES: I love that you answered seriously to her boob joke.

BEHAR: And I think that having these guys, the Democratic Avengers to help him; I think that’s a really good move.

NAVARRO: Oh, I love that. I love that nickname.

BEHAR: You can use that Governor Pritzker.
