Mamdani Aide Threatens ABC Boycott Over 'The View' Antisemite Label for Chevalier, Prompting FCC Probe

Summary
Zohran Mamdani’s camp threatened to boycott ABC after "The View" co-host Sara Haines called congressional candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier an "antisemite," according to the latest Fox News report.
The clash was triggered by Haines’s on-air label for Chevalier, a candidate backed by Mamdani, as backlash also swirled around Chevalier’s deleted posts criticizing the U.S. flag and praising communist themes.
ABC now faces added scrutiny because the Federal Communications Commission has opened a probe into whether "The View" complied with equal-time rules for political candidates.
The report places the dispute inside a wider Fox News focus on rising antisemitism allegations in U.S. politics, alongside separate controversies in California and abroad.
