If there is one thing that the Dems are well known for, it’s for seriously exaggerating on more than one occasion.
And in some cases, some exaggerations are far more significant than others.
For instance, just consider New York Governor Kathy Hochul’s recent claim that she apparently cannot afford eggs for Easter.
That’s right: Apparently Hochul can’t afford eggs.
Talk about mega-disinformation.
According to a report from the New York Post, Hochul informed host Errol Louis in a recent appearance on MSNBC that she cannot afford “real eggs.”
“Heaven help anybody who’s going to use real eggs on Easter. I have an Easter egg roll at the Governor’s Residence, inviting kids from the neighborhood over. I can’t afford them,” Hochul groaned.
That’s rather interesting. Considering that Hochul could afford plenty with illegal migrants … who have flocked in enormous droves to New York.
Which is likely why North Country Assemblyman Chris Tague is not terribly amused by Hochul’s exaggeration.
“The governor might find it amusing to make a statement like that or think she’s some sort of comedian, but for millions of New Yorkers, not being able to afford eggs or even the basic necessities is no joke,” Tague fumed.
Without a doubt.
And, apparently, Hochul came across as so tone deaf that she succeeded in alienating other Democrats in the state.
“She should be more concerned about whether everyday folks can afford eggs and what is she going to do about it,” Democrat Assemblymember Marcela Mitaynes remarked in annoyance.
Seriously. She should at least be sure to minimize the degree to which illegals get lots of cash – monthly – for their own “culturally relevant” food items.
Democrat State Senator Gustavo Rivera also complained about Hochul’s “boneheaded” move.
“Every single thing that happens, if people can’t afford to eat, if people can afford their rent, if people are getting hurt as consumers, if they’re losing their workers. All of it. The governor owns it. Every single goddamn thing,” Rivera raged.
Which is precisely why they pursue such positions in the first place.
Needless to say, Hochul’s complaints about being unable to afford eggs are even more abusrd when considering the fact that her and her husband pull in well over $1M per year.
“Hochul’s tax returns, which were made available to reporters to review Tuesday, shows she and her husband Bill Hohcul made around $1.3 million last year. Kathy Hochul is paid $250,000-a-year as governor while Bill Hochul, a former US attorney and partner at white show law firm Davis Polk, was paid roughly $950,000 last year, according to the filings. The two collected around another $114,000 from dividends and investment income, the documents show,” the New York Post detailed.
Well, that’s nice. Awfully chintzy salary for “public service.”
And don’t forget the major perks.
“That’s in addition to state perks like the governor’s mansion and transportation,” the New York Post helpfully added.
“In addition,” huh? Little wonder that many become politicians for life, given the immense benefits they apparently accrue over time.
