Gov. Kathy Hochul isn’t ready to endorse socialist Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral run yet, she said Thursday – as she slammed his plans to raise taxes on the rich.
“I’m focused on affordability and raising taxes on anyone does not accomplish that,” she told reporters during an event at LaGuardia Airport.
The Democratic governor had congratulated Mamdani after his apparent win, but notably didn’t endorse him in November’s general election.
What a piece of shit. Saving people making a million dollars a year from taxes cannot remotely be classified as “focusing on affordability”. That’s such a bald-faced lie it’s just offensive to the listener.
You misunderstood. She’s focused on affordability for herself. How is she going to afford things if she can’t get kickbacks from corpos and the rich for keeping taxes low?
