Summary
A Mamdani aide reportedly berated ABC executives after Sara Haines said on a June 24 episode of “The View” that Mamdani-backed House candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier was an antisemite.
Semafor said the aide warned Haines’ remarks could affect future appearances by Mayor Zohran Mamdani or his endorsed candidates, after the mayor’s team had already pitched the show to host them.
Chevalier has drawn separate scrutiny over deleted posts praising Marxist ideas, quoting Assata Shakur, backing abolishing police and discussing wiping her hands on an American flag.
ABC and the mayor’s office did not comment, while Semafor said “The View” has been scaling back political guests during an FCC equal-time inquiry that ABC argues should not apply because the show is bona fide news.
