| Miranda Devine: Hochul's colossal $113M gift to far-left groups shows she''s just ''another Defund the Police Dem'' |
| 2025-11-21 |
| [NYPOST] Gov. Kathy Hochul has spent $66 million of taxpayer money on grants to radical left-wing groups that conduct overt political operations to defund the police, close prisons, abolish ICE, decriminalize prostitution, promote open borders, target minors with transgender ideology, promote anti-Israel extremism, impose crippling climate mandates on new housing — and increase taxation to pay for it all. An examination of 13,000 grants since Hochul took office in 2021 shows a massive investment in far-left causes, with $66 million paid so far and almost $50 million promised for a total contract value of $113 million. ''Our tax dollars should go towards fighting criminals, not helping them,'' says Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), the leading GOP candidate in the 2026 gubernatorial race, who has been steadily gaining ground on the unpopular Hochul in recent polls. ''Kathy Hochul is just another Defund the Police Democrat like her puppet master [New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani. ''Hochul will have plenty more time on her hands to support radical nonprofits after we defeat her next year to save New York.'' The largest chunk of leftist grant money has been funneled to open-borders and anti-law enforcement organizations that are agitating to defund the police and abolish US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, while lobbying the state to strengthen existing sanctuary policies that shield illegal migrants from federal law.
