Did Governor Hochul:

1) Threaten to lockup "homegrowns" in a foreign prison?

2) Arrest people for criticizing the war in Gaza?

3) Use the justice department to further a political agenda? (see Eric Adams case)

4) Revoke security clearances of law firms representing her opponents?

Yeah, keep pretending that these two actions are similar and this is just Democrats being hyperbolic again. Trump is using this as revenge against his political opponents since most in DC don't support him. The fact we're still pretending these two parties are the same is unbelievable.



Regarding 2) it is well known that Hochul herself is a strong Israel supporter who has opposed Palestinian protests. She ordered CUNY school Hunter College to remove the Palestinian Studies professor position. Pro-Palestinian protestors have been arrested several times at her events.

(Incidentally, I personally support the UN Resolution 181 for a 2-state solution, so I am against the position of the US government - whether Republicans or Democrats)
