Assembly pushes $250,000 budget item for July 3 NYC wedding protection, plan gets yanked fast…
Democrats and Gov. Hochul office spin quick pull and no earmark, hide the initial push…
New York families fight sky high rents and housing crunch while celebrity security talk burns public cash…
These Albany Democrats are so disconnected they thought blowing tax dollars on Swift and Kelce security was a real idea…
One senator posted the insane proposal and the replies exploded with mockery over elite tone-deafness. “Your family can’t afford rent but sure, fund celebrity fanfic with our money.”
This is how insane, tone deaf, and out of touch Albany Democrats are.
The same politicians who favor illegal immigrants over your family, debated about giving $250,000 of taxpayer dollars for the wedding of @taylorswift13 and @tkelce.
They can afford it. Your family cannot. pic.twitter.com/2ytr3k6EqL

Factcheck:
Yes, the New York Post reported that NY State Assembly Democrats discussed adding a $250,000 budget line item for security at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s planned July 3 wedding in NYC. The proposal was pulled from the agenda and not included in the final budget. Gov. Hochul’s office confirmed no earmark for it.
