New York Governor Kathy Hochul is begging New Yorkers to come back to the state she helped make unaffordable.

Of course, in her plea that has now gone viral, she does her best to blame President Trump’s “tariffs” for the mass exodus that began years before he won his second term. Still, her kind of disingenuous rhetoric is par for the course for Dems and their dutiful followers desperate to believe it.

“I know New Yorkers are exasperated. They’re not getting ahead, their rents are too damn high, their childcare costs are high…” she blathered before blaming the current administration for the destruction she and her Dem cohorts have implemented for years.

Next came Hochul’s shameless doozy.

“I need people who are high net worth to support the generous social programs we want to have in our state.”

She then praised the “patriotic millionaires” who’ve “stepped up.”

“Cut me the checks,” she said before urging those who fled to places like “Palm Beach [Florida],” to bring the dough “back home” because New York’s “tax base has been eroded.”

Lest we forget that Hochul literally told New Yorkers who don’t align with her tired “TAX THE RICH” policies to “jump on a bus and head down to Florida, where you belong. Get out of town.”

But that was then, and this is now:

I don’t know, Botox Kathy, but tariffs are the same in Florida and Texas.

I don’t see people fleeing those states for blue enslaved regions.

How to reduce the pain?
I know! I know!
RAISE TAXES AND SPEND WILDLY ON ILLEGALS.
IT’S A NO BRAINER!

Case in point, I’ll be leaving NY State for Nashville later this year.

These people are NUTS!
