Kathy Hochul defends Zohran Mamdani as ‘reasonable’ — claims they’ll find a way for his $10B in socialist freebies

Gov. Kathy Hochul embraced mayoral front-runner Zohran Mamdani Tuesday — calling him “eminently reasonable” and claiming they’ll find a way to cover the tab for his socialist dreams without raising taxes.

Hochul offered her comrade in the Big Apple mayor’s race a political lifeline during a news conference in Queens, telling reporters the pair would somehow scrounge up funds for the Democratic nominee’s top agenda items, such as universal childcare.

“I found him to be eminently rational and understands this is something that would take an act of the legislature and the governor to sign,” Hochul said when asked if she thought she could bring Mamdani around to backing off his tax-the-rich plan.

“And so he’s wants to work with me on this, and we don’t have the details flushed out,” she added.

I wonder why. Maybe Zohran generously gave Kathy a special pass. She will not have to wear a burka when in Mamdani’s New York City. A hijab will do.

It will be easy for her to do that. The State Legislature is more than 2 to 1 RAT majority in both Houses. The majority of the counties in the State are red, but somehow RATS control the State Legislature.

If its possible to spend 10 billion without raising taxes, that means taxes are 10 billion to high.

so your plan is to take from working New Yorkers to support non working NY City citizens? Why should those outside of NYC support those in NYC? What do they get? Nothing!
