Fox News Mocks Celebs Who Celebrated ‘Socialist Mayor’ Mamdani and Now Appear on His ‘Searchable Hit List’ of Homeowners

Fox News called out celebs like Anna Wintour and Cynthia Nixon who backed New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and now find their names and addresses on his “searchable hit list” of pied-à-terres.

Mamdani has been under fire for publishing a database of names and addresses of those with pied-à-terres, unoccupied second homes worth $1 million and up that are now subject to a state tax.

“The response to this illustrates just what a broad stroke this was, how unfair, how potentially illegal, how frightening it is for someone’s 80 something-year-old mother who has lived in her flat for decades, that she bought for well under a million, she has no source of income other than her social security, of course her son is helping her out now after this,” said Outnumbered co-host Emily Compagno.

“But what is she supposed to do? What message does that send? The Mayor, who has a second compound that he enjoys in Uganda, and note, too, that many people on that list like Anna Wintour and the one from Sex and the City [Nixon], all of them are the ones that were touting the socialist mayor, and just puffing him up and donating and all the things, campaigning for him, and now, they too are doxxed.”

“They are part of the reign of terror,” Fox host Kennedy added.

“He’s trying to couch this as transparency,” chimed in Fox News contributor Lisa Boothe. “And instead, it’s a searchable hit list, is what it is. And what is the concern shared by the couch, particularly after Brian Thompson was gunned down in the streets of Midtown Manhattan, UnitedHealthcare CEO.

“So this is very concerning. And also, my understanding is that [the tax is] estimated to bring in like $500 million. When you have a $126 billion budget, it’s a rounding error.”

Mamdani’s new database has drawn fire from all ends of the political spectrum, with former Democratic strategist Dan Turrentine slamming the list during an appearance on The DC Huddle podcast, calling it “stunning.”

The pied-à-terre tax, enacted Monday, levies a tax on unoccupied homes in the fiver boroughs worth at least $1 million.

Mamdani revealed in 2025 via financial disclosures he owns a four-acre parcel of vacant land in Uganda valued between $100,000 and $250,000.
