Keep your tip-sy to yourself!
Gov. Kathy Hochul is in hot water for telling parishioners at a largely black church not to buy booze with their incoming state “inflation refund” checks — with fellow pols slamming her comments as tone-deaf and “demeaning.”
“It reduces whole communities to harmful stereotypes and strips away the dignity of parents and children alike,” said her estranged Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado, who, along with Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), blasted Hochul as racially insensitive.
Hochul was speaking about rebate checks — which will be sent to eligible residents starting later this month through November — at True Bethel Baptist Church in Buffalo Sunday when she made what critics called a harmful, off color remark.
“Checks are coming out soon, watch the mail. Okay? Okay? Don’t spend it all in one day. Get something you really need. Okay? Don’t stop by the liquor store. Buy something for the kids. Buy them some food,” she said, prompting a loud, mixed reaction from the congregation. “Sometimes I have to stop by the liquor store too, I understand it’s alright. It’s alright.”
Delgado — Hochul’s lone major Democratic primary challenger so far in next year’s gubernatorial election — said the powerful pol has a history of leaning into dangerous stereotypes.
“This is not the first time Governor Hochul has demeaned Black communities with her words. Last year, she claimed young Black kids in the Bronx didn’t even know what the word ‘computer’ was. Now, from the pulpit of a predominantly Black church, she warns families not to spend their rebate checks at the liquor store,” he said in a statement.

I am with her on this one...somebody has to address the lack of impulse control in the feral population.
Look at how unhinged so many are of all races being told that they can no longer buy snacks or get their hair and nails done using ebt, etc.
“When I drove a cab in the 70s in Alexandria, section 8 runs to the liquor store went off the charts at the end of each month when the welfare checks came in.”
...as did hospital emergency rooms.
NYC deserves mamdani.
Sounds like HoHochul stereotyping blacks again. “Black churchgoers” are boozers?
There it is.
“Don’t blow it all in the brothel”
The Bronx is going to vote against the madman in mass. It is quickly turning red.
I drove a yellow cab out of Falls Church, played rock and disco gigs around the metro area, started cab driving around 3am, worked through the rush hour, hit the sack around noon woke up around 5pm, next gig at 8pm wash, rinse, repeat, it was a rough couple of years but I had youth and vigor on my side. Had a laborers job too,when I could squeeze it in.
@GovKathyHochul
That’s a Lefty for you - so racist and comfortable in their racism that they don’t even notice when they say it out loud...
The rodents have been treating Black Americans like children for 60 years and they are not about to stop. Blacks are the only ones who can change this relationship and they are slowly coming around to recognize the truth.
Ok.
They’ll buy weed.
Made me recall how Slick Willy promised Americas a rebate check during his campaign, but once elected reneged saying more or less that we Americans couldn’t be trusted to spend our money intelligently. Democrats believe only they have the right to spend our money stupidly.
She probably wanted to say crack cocaine and meth, but didnt dare
Fentanyl........ that’s what they shouldn’t buy.
“And don’t buy laptops, since you people don’t know how to use them.”
How dare she tell people how to spend their walking-around money...
“Inflation Refund Checks”
There’s so much Stupid wrapped up into that. LOL
This nation needs an Industrial Enema
OMG! She slipped and told the truth.
