Comedian and pro-Israel provocateur Zach Sage Fox (@zachsagefox) is back at it, trolling college students with a social experiment that’s pure gold. You know Zohran Mamdani, the democratic socialist who just clinched NYC’s mayoral Democratic primary? Well, Zach hit the streets near New York campuses, where Mamdani’s a progressive heartthrob, and asked students if they’d back him. Spoiler: they love the vibes, until they hear the actual policies.
Zach, who’s no stranger to viral stunts (remember his “Hamas fraternity” prank?), read straight from Mamdani’s playbook: wealth taxes on billionaires, jacked-up corporate and inheritance taxes, hardcore rent controls, asking social workers to respond to violent domestic abuse calls, and, here’s the kicker, his fierce pro-Palestinian stance, including BDS support and calling Gaza a “genocide.” Then he asked students to sign a “pro-Mamdani” petition. The result? Crickets. Most kids, who seconds earlier were all “Zohran’s the man,” balked hard. “Wait, I’d pay more taxes?” one said. “That’s too extreme,” another muttered, hightailing it out of frame. The video, titled “Zohran Mamdani Voters Go Into SHOCK After Learning What His Actual Policies Are!” on YouTube, racked up millions of views, with X clips hitting over 250,000 each.
