In essence Hochul’s saying “There’s nothing to worry about, this was political!”.
So what exactly, keeps it from being political in any other case either?
And everyone knows the answer is *NOTHING!*.
They’d proved the old adage that if they can do it to him (Trump) they can/will do it to anyone. That’s EXACTLY the point of making an issue with a high profile person like him. The democrats are absolutely sending a message whether they like it or not and whether they think so or not. No matter how much they deny it.
NOBODY is off limits to them.
