Whoopi Goldberg rips NY’s $15 congestion pricing toll to Kathy Hochul’s face on ‘The View’: ‘This is a huge deal’
NY Post ^ | 03/13/2024 | Vaughn Golden and Emily Crane

New York’s controversial congestion pricing toll has yet another high profile critic — Whoopi Goldberg.

The 68-year-old joined the chorus of opponents when she ripped the contentious plan to hit drivers with a $15 toll to enter Midtown Manhattan during Gov. Kathy Hochul’s appearance on ABC’s “The View” on Wednesday.

“This is a huge deal because I can afford it, don’t get me wrong, I can afford it, but a lot of my friends who drive in every day, who left here because they couldn’t afford to live here anymore, can’t,” Goldberg randomly said at the tail-end of the governor’s segment.

The talk show host’s rant came as the Metropolitan Transportation Authority continues to hold a slew of hearings to supposedly listen to the public’s concerns about the back-breaking new toll targeting drivers traveling south of 60th Street in Manhattan.

But Goldberg — who described herself as a “lifelong New Yorker” — railed against the Empire State’s push to implement the congestion pricing plan without having a “conversation” first with Big Apple residents.

Typically, democrat ‘elites’ aren’t hypocrites on this issue. They actually live in high-tax strongholds, and their only real hypocrisy is that they get mad that there are actually lower tax locations to run too. But I guess they have their limits too. I’m not sure why a $15 fee is suddenly too much though. New York’s taxes are obnoxious

Say what you want about Whoopi but she’s spot on righteous about this onerous tax by corrupt NYC tyrants trying to impose legalized theft by tolls.

Best takeaway from this article is that the black cow Whoopee is 68 years old!
I guess I never knew much about her, but stats are not on her side. Overweight black women don’t live much longer than that.
I think I’ll put her on my 2024 dead pool as a late entry.

She’s either lying or painfully stupid.
Years back The Herd was overwhelmingly in favor of higher gas taxes.
They got what they wanted.
This is just playing to their low information voters/viewers.
