In 2007, New York Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul – who will take over as governor when Cuomo resigns in two weeks – said she was vehemently against illegal immigrants getting driver's licenses.
Hochul, who was the Erie County clerk at the time, even went so far as to proclaim that she would arrest any illegal immigrants who applied for licenses at one of the offices she oversaw for the Empire State.
By 2018, however, Hochul had reversed on the issue. She blasted a county clerk that year for vowing to deny driver's licenses to illegal immigrants despite changes to state law.
In fact, she claimed farmers in New York were "clamoring" for illegal immigrants to receive driver's licenses in the state.
"This is a different climate right now, particularly with what is happening with immigration at the national level," Hochul told reporters in 2018.
"Having been in Congress and seeing the needs for people to get to jobs, and with the farmers in upstate New York here who have been clamoring for this, I would say my position now is different," she continued. "I would say that I’ve understood now since the 11 years have passed."

Flip flopping to appease teh Far Left.
______________________________
As long as its flip flopping from left to very very very FAR left.
In New York, everyone is automatically registered to vote when they apply for a drivers license. It’s up to the individual to tell the DMV that they are not eligible to vote.
What a racket.
A democrat who lies? Wow, hard to imagine one of them could rise to high office.
You have to admit the Clintons were pretty shrewd when they slipped “motor voter” thru back in 93. It’s really paying Democrat dividends now.
Well you knew that anyone replacing Coumo would be just as bad, her skeletons just haven’t come to light yet.
But you know she is every bit as dirty as Coumo was/is.
When will people learn that sh*t, no matter how it is shaped, colored, perfumed, etc. will always be sh*t? NYC removes one cancerous Leftist mofo for another cancerous Leftist mofo. Anything new here? Hell no, it was all planned.
‘In New York, everyone is automatically registered to vote when they apply for a drivers license.”
Not according to their website:
You can register in person at your county board of elections or at any New York State Agency-Based voter registration center.
You may also submit your voter application form at the Department of Motor Vehicles, either in person or on their web site if you already have DMV-issued identification.
You can request a New York State Voter Registration form by mail by entering your name directly into our mailing list database.
You can call our 1-800-FOR-VOTE (1-800-367-8683) hotline to request a voter application.
Bingo!! They have to make Bernie and The Squad happy! Our elected Republicans are as useless as tits on a bull.
She didn’t flip flop. She evolved.
That’s not flip flopping, that’s pandering. People like Hochol, Biden, Gillibrand, and a host of others will say what they need to say to get elected. They never actually believe anything they say.
When they run her...that'll be a whole different story.
Meet the new boss,
same as the old boss.
She stood by and is an enabler
Bad one OUT__Bad one IN! No difference. Lipstick on a PIG
Wow!! Great job FoxNews. Ya got ‘er!! EXPOSED!!
Lol! That ship has sailed. No one GAF anymore.
I think she’ll be worse. She’s squad worthy.
Oh yes
GOPe doesn’t flip flop
Lib positions are her true positions, she pretended to be semi-conservative to win a GOP House district. Picked as LT Governor because she has a vag and is from upstate.
I already can’t stand her and she’s not even ascended yet.
It’s a shame, I was looking forward to an impeachment trial happening.
