CNN Chief International Anchor Christiane Amanpour just spilled the beans by letting her viewers know that the Soros machine is even more closely connected to the NYC mayoral race than previously thought.
Amanpour brought on George Soros’s notorious henchman, Patrick Gaspard, to talk up communist Zohran Mamdani’s campaign to lead New York City. Gaspard, who served as president of Soros’s Open Society Foundations between 2017 and 2020 and subsequently lead the heavily Soros-funded extremist Center for American Progress until February 2025, was dubbed by Amanpour to be a “close confidant” of Mamdani’s, whose Marxist agenda is already threatening to upend the city’s economy.
Amanpour teed up Gaspard to try to draw similarities between Mamdani and the charisma of Barack Obama back when he was an Illinois state senator, like that was supposed to be any kind of a flex. Gaspard obliged, saying Mamdani channeled Obama’s ability to communicate issues in the “idiom of aspiration,” which doesn’t make a lick of sense but who’s paying attention?
Watch Amanpour’s entire slobber-fest interview with Soros Henchman Gaspard below.
Given the close proximity of a key player in the Soros machine to Mamdani, one has to question where Mamdani is getting most of his political cues from, including his hatred of Israel. In fact, journalist Ira Stoll documented Gaspard’s connection to Mamdani in a thoroughly researched July 2025 item headlined, “Behind Zohran Mamdani, an Experienced Soros-Obama Operative.” Stoll dubbed Gaspard an “anti-Israel fanatic,” and Gaspard himself was heavily vocal in condemning President Donald Trump’s B2 bomber strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities .
Gaspard was recently demoted from his position as CAP president to distinguished senior fellow for being reportedly derelict in his fundraising responsibilities, but no one should be under any illusions about his connections to Soros, as his own X profile bio reads, “Forever @OpenSociety.” Stoll even wrote that Open Society’s “tax filings indicate the $5.9 billion foundation paid Gaspard, identified as its former president, $2.2 million in 2021.”
The fact that Amanpour is propping Gaspard up like this also shouldn’t come as a surprise. MRC Business listed Amanpour as one of the prominent international media figures connected to the Soros empire in its landmark report George Soros: Propaganda Powerhouse. Amanpour, is listed as a senior advisor at the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), which received $2,750,000 from Soros between 2018 and 2020 alone. She has developed a grotesque habit of brazenly criticizing Soros’ critics as anti-Semites, despite the fact that she’s done everything to wreck Israel’s image to the world as it struggled to eradicate the terror group Hamas following the October 7, 2023 genocide.
New Yorkers everywhere should be wary that the empire of the most notorious leftist billionaire in American politics is once again trying to sway elections that favor his dark “open society” worldview.
