A video of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani talking about a labor violations settlement to benefit fast food workers with food in his mouth has MAGA up in arms.

New York City Democratic Mayor Zohran Mamdani filmed a "mukbang"-style video alongside NYC's Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP) Commissioner Sam Levine while eating Taco Bell and Dunkin' Donuts.

A mukbang is an often live-streamed video featuring a person eating while interacting with their audience. Mayor Mamdani's video was designed to reach a younger audience, so they used the mukbang format first made popular by South Korean content creators.


The self-described democratic socialist was using the video to announce enforcement actions resulting in a $1.5 million–$1.8 million labor law settlement against fast-food franchisees. The settlement with Salz Management LLC involved 24 Taco Bell and Dunkin' locations—hence the video's menu—over violations regarding scheduling and "clopening" shifts.

MAGA influencers David "Gunther Eagleman" Freeman of Texas and Brandon Straka of Nebraska took to X to complain about the New York City mayor's video.

The men complained because Zohran Mamdani eats on camera. Or eats Taco Bell. Or speaks while eating. Or talks with his mouth full. Or discusses "policy" while eating Munchkins.

It's not really clear exactly what their issue is or why two men living nowhere near New York City think they have a dog in this fight.

Texan Freeman, a.k.a. Eagleman, captioned his video clip:

"Why is Zohran Mamdani shoving his face, speaking with a mouth full of food about sour cream and worker protection enforcement?"
"Communism is quickly proving to be pure idiocracy and hopefully New Yorker's wake up and STOP voting for dipsht commie dems."
"It's the ONLY WAY to save the city."

Corn husker Straka captioned his repost of the clip Freeman shared:

"Zohran Mamdani draws criticism after a clip shows him speaking with his mouth full while discussing policy."
"Calls grow for New Yorkers to rethink their leadership choices."

The MAGA minions jumped into the comments—with all the dignity and grammar people have come to expect—to voice their own concerns.

Most also had no connection to New York City.

But MAGA minions weren't the only people in their comments or who noticed their posts.


Many questioned the men's priorities.





Others had a direct message for "Gunther Eagleman" or Brandon Straka.

Including calling out David "Gunther Eagleman" Freeman for his own eating habits.



This wasn’t the first time MAGA had a meltdown over Mamdani eating.

During his mayoral campaign, Mamdani was criticized for eating rice and lentils with his hands.

It's a good thing there's nothing important to be concerned about.

Gay Trump Supporter Gets Brutally Fact-Checked In Real Time After Awkwardly Defending Trump’s LGBTQ+ Record

Satirist and journalist Walter Masterson, who has gone viral multiple times for allowing MAGA minions to make fools of themselves and by mocking right-wing rhetoric in front of oblivious conservatives, joined up with trans youth activist Lorelai Crean to go to a Pride-adjacent gathering outside Trump Tower in New York City.

The duo wanted to ask gay Trump supporters to explain why they support an administration that doesn't support them. The event was hosted by pardoned January 6 rioter and gay MAGA influencer Brandon Straka, founder of the #WalkAway campaign that makes money trying to convince gay Democrats that the GOP is better for them, and the Log Cabin Republicans.
