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.
“I’m focused on affordability and raising taxes on anyone does not accomplish that,”
And I’m focused non you being a twat whose bought and paid for
Hey, Kathy. Screw you. We’ll replace you in the next election.
I’m unaware of the timeline, and if this quote came before or after, but our guy here was up against literal fascists in his day. I think this makes the quote even more pithy.

Butler, a retired Marine Corps major general, testified under oath that wealthy businessmen were plotting to create a fascist veterans’ organization with him as its leader and use it in a coup d’état to overthrow Roosevelt.
“I’m focused on affordability” for the rich.
She’s a fucking fascist monster. Bold to act like she’s concerned about spending, after she sent in the national guard in response to a drop in crime.
Vote blue no matter who
…right guys?
Yes. Do you think a republican would be nicer to him?
Or do you not get how first past the post works?
If this lady is not to your liking, you primary her.
They aren’t talking about her they are talking about the current Mayororal candidate she isn’t supporting despite him being the Democratic nominee
Oooooh… Yeah, that makes way more sense
Where are the establishment dems mocking the “bOtH siDes” people?
Do you think, maybe, establishment dems aren’t progressive?
The rich can, categorically, afford more taxes
Yeah this is not a well constructed thought by her. Need to go back together drawing boars with that one.
If the rich paid their fair share in taxes, life would be more affordable for the majority of people if politicians do their jobs. It’s a big if, and clearly one Kathy doesn’t believe in.
The rich can, and always do, use their wealth to avoid taxes
This from the person who spent $600 million in taxpayer dollars on a new stadium that her husband’s company has a food service contract for.
New Yorkers have an amazing ability to elect slimy fuck bags.
They’re almost catching up to us in California. 😏
I think it would be more accurate to say that slimey fuck bags are shockingly good at getting elected globally.
Isn’t this the same person who wanted to set up an emergency hotline for CEOs?
Almost wish they had so New Yorkers could flood the line claiming to be CEOs.

Running mouth is all they know how to do.
You guys expect otherwise from Cuomo’s assistant governor??
She’s a snake, like all of those establishment fuckheads.
“I’m focused on affordability, and how can I afford to participate in political corruption if our ill-gotten gains are subject to taxation and scrutiny?”
“I’m focused on affordability and raising taxes on anyone does not accomplish that,” she told reporters
I’m inclined to think this is a flat-out falsehood.
No see, she’s focused on affordability for her donors to be able to afford larger yachts than they already have…. 👀
The rot within the DNC is so pervasive. So captured by rich people and corporate lobby.
no rot spreading
what we are seeing is and has always been the Democrat party
Obama chose someone who supports segregation and that same person later became president, Harris hosted a celebrity filled gala and invited Republicans while citizens who were refused entry protested outside for everything the Democrats supposedly stand for, Walz as a governor teamed up with Trump to use police to manhandle pipeline protestors, and the list goes on
^^ This is propaganda
Okay buddy reactionary
It’s spreading in the sense they are fine being so open with it
