Hochul THREATENS Trump: "I don't care if you're the President of the United States, if you threaten to unlawfully go after one of our neighbors, you're picking a fight with 20 million New Yorkers — starting with me."

The claim states that Governor Kathy Hochul threatened Donald Trump with the exact words: "I don't care if you're the President of the United States, if you threaten to unlawfully go after one of our neighbors, you're picking a fight with 20 million New Yorkers, starting with me. " The search results show that Hochul has been vocally critical of Trump and has positioned herself as leading resistance against him, as reported by sources like Fox News and City & State New York.

However, none of the credible news sources or reports directly confirm that she made this specific threatening statement verbatim. The Facebook source (Patriot One News) appears to be the only place where a similar quote is mentioned, but Facebook posts are not always reliable or verified sources. Other reputable sources such as the New York Post, NPR, and City & State New York discuss Hochul's sharp rebukes and political opposition to Trump but do not document this exact threatening language.

Therefore, while Hochul has expressed strong opposition and resistance to Trump’s actions, the claim that she threatened him with this precise statement is not substantiated by reliable evidence and may be a mischaracterization or exaggeration of her rhetoric.
