NY Gov. Hochul Tries To Get Crowd To Cheer Her For Protecting Their Freedom To Pay Higher Taxes

Posted • February 20, 2025: Back when New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced a new toll in order to drive a vehicle in and out of Manhattan, the "Democrat math" she used to try and make the new fee sound "free" was beyond ridiculous. Hochul was hoping everybody's stupid and would believe the new toll wouldn't cost them any extra money. Fast forward to this week, and President Trump, along with Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced they've terminated the NYC "congestion pricing" plan: President Donald J. Trump and Secretary Sean Duffy have officially terminated approval for New York City's congestion pricing scheme — calling it "a slap in the face to working class Americans and small business owners." https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/1892307747594452992/pu/vid/avc1/1280x720/6Yci2S6G5wGXTt3n.mp4 —— Trump issued a statement that contains a troll and the Dems have taken the bait. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GkLFAAwXMAMpJn1?format=jpg&name=medium

Hochul latched onto the K-word and ironically tried to portray the president who's removing taxes and fees as the "King" instead of the politician who's levying them.

Hochul is TRIGGERED the Trump admin. is trying to stop the state from charging people to drive. "New York hasn't labored under a king in over 250 years! We sure as hell are not going to start now." —— Hochul went full William Wallace over her defense of Big Government limiting our freedoms and lightening our bank accounts. Yikes. They’re cheering for a TAX. After what happened in November having a potential Democrat presidential candidate who will say "I'll fight for your freedom to pay higher taxes" might not play very well nationally. Hochul’s an imbecile, but so was Biden- and like Biden, she sees an opening in the lunatic Democrat ranks to go for the big job in 2028, as crazy as that sounds. (…)
