Gov. Hochul: ‘Donald Trump Is Defunding the Police’

EXCERPT:

HOCHUL: “The Department of Homeland Security, the agency created in response to 9/11, is withholding 40 percent of New York State’s counterterrorism funding. Yes, 40 percent. That’s from New York State, the number one terror target in the nation, a place where just recently a terror plot against our state capitol was uncovered. That 40 percent adds up to $87 million. That’s $87 million they owe us. Let me translate that in real simple terms. Donald Trump is defunding the police, defunding the NYPD intelligence analysts who foiled the attacks, defunding the brave members of FDNY who run into the fire while the rest of us are running out, defunding the National Guard, the units who protect the major transit hubs, defunding bomb squads, defunding police departments and sheriff’s offices from Long Island to Westchester to Buffalo.”
