No freebies for Kathy.

Gov. Kathy Hochul seemingly got little-to-nothing in exchange for her bombshell endorsement Sunday of socialist mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani — except to appease the far-left in a desperate attempt to stave off a real primary challenge next year, insiders said.

Hochul likely will have Mamdani’s endorsement in the Democratic primary, where she faces a challenge from her estranged Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado, sources said.

One Democratic operative called Hochul’s endorsement — which failed to sway some prominent Dem holdouts and took some business leaders by surprise — “inevitable” given the political calculus.

“It’s a calculated political risk,” the operative said.

“Delgado is gaining ground on her and they want to neutralize him. There’s concern of him running to the left. She’s losing ground in the suburbs and upstate and they have to consolidate the downstate vote.”

The governor, in both her op-ed endorsing Mamdani and subsequent comments, gave no signs that Mamdani had offered any concessions on his controversial stances for her endorsement.

Hochul did offer Monday that Mamdani invited her to be part of discussions about public safety and the NYPD’s leadership.

I’ll bet HoHoHoskull has already ordered her burkas to impress her new squeeze, Zoltar Madmani.

Bill Ackman ALLEGEDLY convened a meeting in the Hamptons with influencers to discuss Zohran Mamdani and the threat he poses.

The meeting ALLEGEDLY went off the rails ALLEGEDLY.

If you want anymore of the ALLEGED details you will have to go to twitter and read Max Blumenthal.

I can’t even begin to guess as to the truth after reading various ALLEGED details

Ironically, Hochul is not extreme enough for her base.

Mamdani is an islamist masquerading as a leftist same as Omar and Tlaib.
Word salad is one of the symptoms of untruthfulness.
Hochul is a political floozy who will say or do anything that she feels will help her get re-elected.
They should all be kicked to the curb!

It’s been obvious for years, she doesn’t have the public interest at heart.

It always comes down to: “What’s in it for HER?”
