Gov. Kathy Hochul slighted mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani in a live TV interview Sunday — signaling she may not endorse him in the election even after he praised her “courage.”

“We still have many differences,” Hochul said, keeping her distance from her fellow Democrat during a Fox News Sunday interview. “I don’t know how you whitewash that away.”

Fox host Shannon Bream had read a statement from Mamdani effusively praising Hochul for sparring with President Trump and Republicans over redistricting fights that could dictate who controls Congress.

I heard that Mamdani is demanding that Hochul wear a burka. But Hochul is waiting for a poll to see if most New Yorkers will approve.

Maybe she doesn’t want to have the first largest caliphate in the nation in her state.

Part of the BS triangulation play. Every one of these rats would vote for him if they lived in NYC. They are back to hiding who they are.
