In a brazen display of partisan politics, New York's Democrat-controlled Public Campaign Finance Board has denied Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman up to $7 million in public matching funds for his gubernatorial campaign against the failing Governor Kathy Hochul.
The rigged vote went down exactly as you'd expect in corrupt New York - 4-3 along strict party lines, with every single Democrat on the panel voting to block Blakeman's rightfully earned matching funds. What a coincidence that this happens just as Blakeman is gaining serious momentum against Hochul's trainwreck administration.
Social media erupted over the obvious political hit job. One user perfectly captured the corruption: "Bruce Blakeman being denied funds by the 'NY Public Campaign Finance 🤡 Board' aka @NYCVotes, because he's gaining on the absolute failure of Albany, @GovKathyHochul. How convenient."
Democrats Terrified of Blakeman's Surge
This isn't about campaign finance rules - it's about Democrats panicking as they watch their grip on New York slip away. Blakeman has been a conservative champion as Nassau County Executive, standing up to Hochul's authoritarian COVID mandates and fighting for the rights of hardworking Long Island families.
Meanwhile, Hochul has presided over a crime wave, an exodus of businesses and taxpayers fleeing the state, and economic policies that have crushed the middle class. No wonder the Democrat establishment is scrambling to kneecap her strongest challenger.
"GOP's Blakeman denied matching funds in race against Gov. Hochul," reported the NY Daily News, as news of the partisan vote spread across social media.
This is exactly the kind of swamp behavior that President Trump has been fighting against. When Republicans start winning, suddenly the rules change and the bureaucrats find new ways to rig the game.
Will New York voters see through this transparent attempt to silence Blakeman's campaign? The Empire State deserves better than Hochul's failed leadership and the corrupt machine protecting her.
