The White House was controlling the teleprompter. The White House videographer triggered the escalator. But we're gonna hear about it anyway to distract from how weak and feckless this administration is.
Maria Bartiromo: "And then the sabotage efforts! Him going on the escalator and the escalator stops, the teleprompter going down. What went on yesterday at the UN General Assembly, congressman?"

Andrew Cuomo going on Fox News to accuse Zohran Mamdani of caring about “woke issues” and talk about how much he’s scared of the subway seems like a pretty clear sign that he has abandoned the Democratic Party.
