Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) called President-elect Donald Trump to “reaffirm” how they can work together despite warning she would not play nice with him just days earlier.
A day after Trump won the election in a sweeping victory, Hochul, along with New York Attorney General Letitia James, promised to fight back against any potential "revenge or retribution” now that the incoming 47th president is back in the White House.
However, as I reported earlier this week, Trump lawyer Mike Davis offered a grim warning before they violate “Trump’s constitutional rights or any other American’s Constitutional rights.”
After that, it took no time for Hochul to straighten up. She called Trump to have a “very cordial” talk and tell him she would work with him on issues facing her state.
“It was a very cordial call, and listen, I said I’ll work with anybody," the Democrat governor said. “I basically just reaffirmed there are areas we can work together, like infrastructure, where we rely on federal money, and he seems to share my priorities."
During the phone call, Hochul explained that she wants to work with Trump in protecting the CHIPS act to keep bringing back manufacturing jobs from overseas with projects and bringing Penn Station and the city’s subway city back to life— and Trump agreed.
...
During the election cycle, Trump held massive rallies on Hochul’s turf. She previously called any New Yorker who supported Trump “anti-woman, anti-abortion,” and “anti-American” because, she said they “trashed American values and what our country is all about."
Trump, on the other hand, promised to turn the city around and save his home.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams also vowed to work with Trump to “develop a realistic and compassionate national strategy for our immigration system.”
Given Hochul and Adams follow their promises to work well with Trump, hopefully New York City, which has been ravaged with millions of illegals immigrants, can be turned around. And maybe other Democrat leaders will follow suit, but one can only hope.
Hochul: “where we rely on federal money”
In other words she is a whore.
We get it.
Any NY FReepers here today? Is she really as dumb as it sound when she speaks?
Is Hochul going to step in and put the brakes on Tish James?
WORSE.
I live on the south shore of Staten Island...very conservative...mostly Irish and Italian descendants.
We hate her out here.
She’s dumb as a brick and that’s an insult to bricks.
I hate her more than I hated Cuomo and that’s not easy.
And my father hated his father :)
They should be given the choice to proceed with the prosecution that they so firmly believed was warranted for face the consequences of malicious prosecution and deprivation of rights under color of law. Deguello.
She is most likely dumber than anyone thinks.
“or”, nor “for”. Forgive my fat fingers and old eyes......
Trump will reel her in on federal funding promises then squeeze a pardon out of her if need be.
Someone got the word.....
To hell with her. She was and is all in for what James, Bragg, Marchan and Engoron have done. Marginalize her, exile her to Albany and don’t let her leave.
Carroll filed her case the next day.
The answer to your question: Abso-freaking-lutely.
In NY the AG is seperately elected and runs her/his own office.
Maybe she figured out that we have a new sheriff in town.
In other words, "STOP sending them to NYC!!"
The governors of California and Illinois didn’t get the memo.
…and I used to live in Jersey (before escaping to Texas), and *I* hated Mario Cuomo. Some of my fondest memories are of Bob Grant calling him, “Svatchim” and other choice words.
