Hochul tells NY businesses not to fear about Trump verdict: ‘Nothing to worry about’
TheHill ^ | 02/18/2024

Posted on 02/18/2024 5:45:14 AM PST by devane617

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) addressed New York business owners in a new interview and told them there was “nothing to worry about” after former President Trump was hit with a $355 million fine and the inability to conduct business in New York for three years.

Hochul joined John Catsimatidis on “The Cats Roundtable” on WABC 770 AM where she was asked if other New York businesspeople should be worried that if “they can do that to the former president, they can do that to anybody.”

“I think that this is really an extraordinary unusual circumstance that the law-abiding and rule-following New Yorkers who are business people have nothing to worry about because they’re very different than Donald Trump and his behavior,” Hochul responded.

A New York judge on Friday ordered Trump to pay the massive sum in penalties in a civil fraud case. The decision came just weeks after closing arguments wrapped up a months-long trial after New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) sued Trump for alleging he falsely altered his net worth to receive tax and insurance benefits.

Until you provide a link between the Democratic Party and me you’re nothing more than a petty liar providing propaganda to smear a non-allied individual.

You attacked Tom Delay back in the day.

And contrary to your post of the other day, you didn't have a problem with Trump until he became successful at advancing the conservative cause in the face of your Democrat Party.

Then, you went ballistic - just like any Democrat Party operative would do.

You flew under the radar for many years here - but now, your NeverTrumping has exposed your sordid agenda.

I was never a Trump fan. My concern was his business dealings. His integrity. His honesty. And the cult like following he was building.

You likely will never find a positive Trump post in my 20+ years here.

We did the same with Dubya. Remember?

I do. Lasted until that early scotus pick. I sensed some payback for HW Bush being beat by Clinton. Remember how attitudes toward Quayle changed once W entered the field?

The harshest label you had for him in the years before he became an effective conservative leader was "snake oil salesman".

When it became clear that he was going to advance the conservative agenda in a big, big way - that's when you started the bitter attacks.

Your crowd also realized that he is The Cleanest Guy in DC - which meant that the usual methods of control [think of the corruptocrats like Menendez, McConnell, Pelosi Schumer and human garbage like Hunter and The Tater] don't work on him.

That's when the desperate and vile smears like the ones you put out there came into vogue.

The "cult" smear wasn't deployed by Democrat Party operatives until it became clear that Donald "Mr. Clean" Trump couldn't be manipulated by the usual players in the Swamp - because he's not dirty like most of their sockpuppets.

Exactly as I described him then and now. I have added cult like leader as that wasn’t apparent back then. Since 07-08 it has. But he has always been described by me as a snake oil salesman. Well before as move toward political ambitions became known or even suggested. And my primary discussions, or smears as you call them, center mostly in flip flops or lack of achievement. I don’t remember saying I disagreed with him overturning Roe but more of the backlash of it and his now flirting with a 15 week exception.

He's not a "cult leader".

That's a smear used by Democrat Party operatives online - just like your favorite smear of Jim Jordan ["Gym" Jordan].

That nickname is only used by partisan Democrat activists online or in print.

Which is how we actual conservative freepers can discern what you are.

He is a cult leader. He can do anything or say anything and people will still follow or defend him. And as for be said, find the link to me and democrats, a true link, and I will accept that. Until then, all you’re doing is trying to smear me.

Let me ask. Why would a partisan Democrat call Trump a con man back during the days when he hung with people like the Clinton’s and Al Sharpton as well as backed abortion?

He is a cult leader.

Only said on Free Republic by NeverTrumpers and/or Democrat Party operatives.

That would be you.

It's not our problem that your tiny little mind can't comprehend Trump.

Maybe it’s the other tiny minds that can’t comprehend his danger? Just remember. Trump is the candidate of unintended consequences. If Trump is found able to not be prosecuted while in office and while Biden is still President, then Biden can effectively send Kamala to Capitol Hill with alternate delegates to re-install themselves despite if Trump wins the election. The candidate of unintended consequences.

Democrat Party operatives on Free Republic are saddened that their lie about "The Big Lie" is going down in flames.

Say - aren't you one of the "freepers" that are constantly telling us that President Trump and MAGA are promoting "The Big Lie" about "election" fraud?

Just another false NeverTrump/Democrat Party operative Narrative promoted by your ilk.

While little noticed by most Americans, the effort has helped cut a path for Mr. Trump’s attempt to recapture the presidency. Disinformation about elections is once again coursing through news feeds, aiding Mr. Trump as he fuels his comeback with falsehoods about the 2020 election.

Says it all.

The word "disinformation" is only used by Democrat Party political operatives.

Like you.

Funny. It came directly from the link you sent me. A pure cut and paste. You a Democratic operative? That’s what you just said. The word "disinformation" is only used by Democrat Party political operatives.

Let me clarify that. It was from the source link of the link you gave me which was an article from the Gateway Pundit. So not only are you a Democratic operative, you’re also accusing the Gateway Pundit of being a democratic operative. Wow. Just wow.

Everyone here knows that you're a Democrat Party operative.

Lying about me is par for the course for a Democrat plant on FR.
