Hochul tries to dunk on Trump over Knicks fandom — but it totally backfires
Governor Kathy Hochul attempted to criticize President Trump over his support for the New York Knicks, but her comments backfired. During a press conference, she mistakenly referred to the team's last championship year, which was 1973, while Trump claimed to be a lifelong fan. This misstep highlighted her lack of knowledge about the team and drew attention to her error.
