From the New York Post: Gov. Kathy Hochul is jumping on the anti-Trump train — touting herself Monday as the new leader of the
“resistance” against the president’s agenda.
“Once you draw first blood on us, you know we’re coming back hard, and I will be leading the resistance on policies like these where you’re hurting New Yorkers directly,” she proclaimed during an interview on NPR’s “Morning Edition.”
The assertion is a far cry from Hochul’s comments less than two weeks ago, when she told reporters just the opposite.
“I’ve been asked countless (times) ‘Are you leading the resistance?’ — No, I’m governing the great state of New York,” Hochul said when asked about her shifting stance toward President Trump’s administration.
In her NPR interview this week, Hochul wildly claimed that Republicans are cutting Medicaid and devastating rural hospitals.
“So, this is where Democratic governors, we know how strong we need to be. And this moment calls for all of us to be the firewall, to stand up against this destruction of policies that are helping people and have been in place for decades,” Hochul claimed.
NPR’s Michel Martin asked, “But is that your primary mode of resistance to call attention to the suffering that will ensue? Or are there other strategies?”
Hochul replied, “Oh, no. There’s many ways. We are in litigation since day one. Our attorney general, Tish James and I work closely together. And much of it starts in court and we were able to successfully work together in litigation to at least temporarily stop a lot of the firings.”
Trump’s tariffs are a tax on New Yorkers – and especially our hardworking farmers.
I’m going to do everything in my power to fight them.
