Fact checked this from Robert De Niro : Robert De Niro says he has "no choice" but to leave New York City now that Mamdani is officially the mayor. "He wants to take half of my savings because I'm 'wealthy.' I haven't worked in some time. My savings is all 1 have." De Niro was an avid supporter of the communist during his campaign. Looks like he's reached the "find out" portion of his choices.

Here’s what fact-checking organizations and credible news sources say about the claim you shared about Robert De Niro and Zohran Mamdani:
✅ Claim status: False[edit | edit source]
✔️ There is no credible evidence that Robert De Niro publicly said he has “no choice but to leave New York City” because Zohran Mamdani became mayor, nor that he said the mayor wants to take “half of my savings.” No interviews, verified quotes, or trusted news reports support this. Snopes[2]
✔️ The viral quote originated on social media and satire/parody pages — including ones that openly describe their content as fictional or humorous. MEAWW News[3]
✔️ Multiple fact-checkers specifically debunked this narrative as fabricated and not a real statement from De Niro. Snopes[4]
❗ About Zohran Mamdani[edit | edit source]
Zohran Mamdani did take office as New York City’s mayor in early 2026, prompting broad online discussion about his progressive proposals and potential tax changes. But that context does not include any verified statement from De Niro about leaving the city. MEAWW News[5]
❗ Robert De Niro’s real public record[edit | edit source]
Robert De Niro is a New York native and has a long personal and professional history tied to the city. He has publicly expressed political opinions in the past — for example, criticizing national political figures — but none match the quoted claim about Mamdani or his savings. Wikipedia[6]
