SYRACUSE, N.Y. \u2013\u00a0President Trump ridiculed Albany Dems for passing legislation to remove \u201cmother\u201d and \u201cfather\u201d from some state laws and replace with \u201cgestating parent.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump, while railing against Empire State Democrats at a rally in Syracuse Friday, blasted \u201cradical left lunatic\u201d Gov. Kathy Hochul and state legislators passing a bill<\/a> to change laws around surrogacy to refer to a \u201cgestating\u201d or \u201cnon-gestating\u201d parent, as well as calling them \u201cparentage\u201d hearings instead of \u201cpaternity.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cKathy Hochul supports transgender mutilation of your children. She supports men in women\u2019s sports and a bill that would change the terms of mother and father to gestating and non-gestating parents.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can no longer say \u2018mother, hi mom!\u2019 it\u2019s \u2018hi gestating,\u2019\u201d the president mocked.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Hi gestating, I love you so much gestating,\u2019\u201d he continued to laughter from the several thousand supporters in attendance, before pleading with them to promote Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman to governor. <\/p>\n

\u201cNew York needs to throw out this radical left lunatic and elect Bruce Blakeman,\u201d Trump declared.<\/p>\n

Blakeman, the Republican nominee, trails Hochul by 11 points in the most recent Marist poll<\/a> released Wednesday, but a Siena University survey had him within single digits last month.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is insane,\u201d Blakeman told the crowd earlier about the \u201cparentage\u201d bill.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cYou see, they want to take control away from parents. They\u2019re denigrating moms and dads. They\u2019re letting Albany make the decisions that should be up to parents,\u201d the Long Island pol railed.<\/p>\n

Hochul \u201cbelieves mothers are mothers and fathers are fathers, and no legislation changes that,\u201d a spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe legislation, which we will review, appears to address technical legal issues related to surrogacy and parentage. Anyone making bad-faith arguments is deliberately misleading New Yorkers for political gain,\u201d the Hochul spokesperson continued.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SYRACUSE, N.Y. \u2013\u00a0President Trump ridiculed Albany Dems for passing legislation to remove \u201cmother\u201d and \u201cfather\u201d from some state…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":369583,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[4241,1626,153,57,46937,9,11,10,49,51,50,13895,58],"class_list":["post-369582","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-albany","tag-bruce-blakeman","tag-donald-trump","tag-metro","tag-midterm-elections-2026","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news","tag-new-york-state","tag-new-york-state-headlines","tag-new-york-state-news","tag-ny-governor-election-2026","tag-us-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/369582","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=369582"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/369582\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/369583"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=369582"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=369582"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=369582"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
