“They try to make him sound scary and just make him sound like a hero,” one person observed.
Fox News host Jesse Watters has unveiled a new nickname for New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani — and people can’t help but notice it makes him sound really, really cool.
Over the past few days, the commentator has referred to the progressive rising star as “Zohran the Destroyer,” or simply “the destroyer,” multiple times.
In a viral screenshot from Thursday’s episode of “Jesse Watters Primetime,” a chyron reads, “ZOHRAN THE DESTROYER WRECKS DEM PARTY.”

Jesse Watters’ new nickname for Zohran Mamdani, “Zohran the Destroyer,” is going viral because people think it makes him sound rad.

The segment touched on angst from some Democrats over Mamdani threatening the status quo. The democratic socialist beat former New York Gov. and accused sexual harasser Andrew Cuomo in New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary on Tuesday in a stunning upset.

“What’s Zohran the Destroyer got going for him?” Watters asked in a monologue that trashed Mamdani’s policy proposals and mocked his supporters. He also called him a “smooth-talking assassin.”
On “The Five” on Friday, Watters mused, “Zohran the Destroyer is about to give Karl Marx a woke makeover, if Democrats can’t stop him from becoming the next mayor of New York City.”
On social media, people joked about how awesome the moniker made Mamdani sound.
