WASHINGTON – New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said Sunday that the Democratic governor will “sit down dumbfounded” as state leaders threaten to retaliate if they don’t adhere to his agenda.
“Don’t think you just get bullied around us and expect a response from the governor,” Hochul said, “Facing the people with Margaret Brennan.”
When governors from both sides of the aisle met with Trump at a White House event on Friday, the president called for Maine Governor Janet Mills, who didn’t comply with the executive order and her state would sought federal funds. It bans trans athletes who say they won’t get it from competing in women’s sports teams. “See you in court,” replied Mills.
Hochul said Trump and his administration are “are overflowing with the zone,” citing disputes over the California FEMA Recovery Fund, Illinois lawsuits and conflicts with Mills.
“What they’re trying to do is create this theatre of all sorts of activities that are trying to distract us,” Hochul said. “And when someone is overflowing zones at a football game, all you need to have is that the defenders are not only very disciplined and smart, but also standing in their position. .”
Hochul too I met A meeting held in the White House on Friday, with Trump and personally, a few days after his administration revoked federal approvals. Crowd pricing in New York City.
The Trump administration said last week it would pull approval for New York City’s crowd pricing. In a post about the truth, Trump wrote that “crowd pricing is dead,” claiming he saved New York while declaring “the king’s longevity.”
Hochul has promoted the program that has been in effect since January, and announced that the Metropolitan Transportation Authority has begun legal proceedings and has pledged to push back the move. Hochul said Sunday he hopes the state wins in court and that the program continues and is opposed to the president’s proposal that he is king.
“I worked under the King 250 years ago, so I have problems with its characterization.
Hochul’s meeting with the president also came after federal prosecutors in New York. I filed an application It will withdraw the corruption charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams. In the controversy, Hochul recently said he would not let Adams take office. She did not discuss the issue during her meeting with the president on Sunday, but said, “We are not allowing the Trump administration to interfere in our city’s operations.”
“I’m a lot of people disappointed and angry and want to do something quickly, but we are a country of law and one of the governors of New York should not use her voice and her. I always stand in the fact: the will to negate the will of the voters,” added Hochur.
Hochul vowed that she must be “a firewall to stop it” in the way the Trump administration “telegraphed them to join our operation.”
