“This mayor will destroy this city,” he said.
“We have to demand our rights for our private sanctuaries, for our jobs, for the properties we have all worked so hard for – and this 35-year-old mayor has no right to dictate the rules of socialism for a city built brick and stone by hard-working Americans on our highest principles. This must be stopped and his mayoralty must be terminated immediately.”
Throughout his statement, Voight urged residents to push back against the elected mayor, whom he has repeatedly described as a threat to the city’s core values.

“You, the people of the greatest city, New York, are in danger of losing your city to this communist fool. We, the people, must stand together for the cause of the greatest nation – the dignity of our red, white and blue flag – and what it represents, one nation under God, freedom and justice for all,” he said.

Voight added: “This country, the United States of America, is the land of our greatest achievement, the American dream.”
He went on to say that Americans “trust the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump,” and continued: “He, and only he, can stop this horror, because this mayor, Mamdani, will try to destroy the wealth of New York and turn it into a socialist mess.”
