New York Democratic candidate for Governor Cynthia Nixon viciously attacked President Trump this week; bizarrely slamming the Commander-in-Chief for “not expanding” driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants.
Nixon posted the left-field attack on social media Wednesday evening; calling on Governor Andrew Cuomo to “oppose” the Trump administration by issuing driver’s licenses to New York’s “undocumented workers.”
“We need to oppose Trump not just with rhetoric, but with policy. Why, for example, have you not expanded access to driver’s licenses to undocumented workers?” she tweeted.

The candidate’s comments come as Governor Cuomo came under-fire from both sides of the political aisle after he viciously referred to ICE agents as a “bunch of thugs” during their heated debate.
CYNTHIA'S STRATEGY? Nixon Says ‘HIGHER TAXES’ Make NY More ‘BUSINESS FRIENDLY’
Democratic challenger for Governor of New York Cynthia Nixon dodged questions surrounding her massive tax scheme Thursday; claiming the state’s high taxes actually makes the region more “business friendly.”
Nixon was speaking with MSNBC when she was asked if New York’s wealthy residents and their businesses would leave should she implement her “millionaire’s tax.”
“If you were successful in imposing a millionaire’s tax or corporate tax, what makes you think those companies and those wealthy people would stay in New York?” asked MSNBC’s Rick Tyler.
“I think that wealthy individuals have the liberty of choosing where they want to live. If high taxes were a thing that would make wealthy people move, we wouldn’t have so many wealthy people in New York,” said Nixon.
“If we want to create jobs for New Yorkers, investing in infrastructure is the most effective way to do it, and it’s a way to prepare our state for the future and make it more business friendly,” she concluded.
CORTEZ CONFUSION: Cortez Urges ‘Imperfect People’ to Run for Congress, Calls GOP ‘Corny’
Socialist superstar Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez continued to ruffle feathers among voters in New York Thursday; bizarrely urging “imperfect people” to run for office and calling the Republican Party “corny.”
The self-described Democratic Socialist posted the unusual comments on social media Thursday morning; saying “More imperfect people need to run for office” and calling her GOP opponents “corny.”
Why is the GOP so corny?
You can front a band and run for office. You can pierce your nose, be a bartender, a teacher, a stay at home parent; wear a dress or rip your jeans – none of this disqualifies you from advancing the fight for healthcare, education, housing, and justice. https://t.co/NuVgmJmOFE

More imperfect people need to run for office. We need to eliminate the idea of “perfect” candidates – there’s no such thing.
What matters are your values and the platform you’re fighting for.
When the opposition goes into personal nonsense, it’s because they‘re empty handed.

Cortez comments come just hours after her liberal colleague Cynthia Nixon squared off against Governor Andrew Cuomo, where the sitting NY leader referred to federal ICE agents as a “bunch of thugs.”
