Leftists and Humorless Rebukes Fear Greg Abbott’s Obvious Joke About New York City Elections – Twitchy
Sorry to break it to everyone, but leftists in America are still the most miserable people on the planet.
Yesterday, Texas Governor Greg Abbott decided to have some fun at the expense of New York City, which today prepares to elect communist crook Zahran Mamdani as its next mayor.
After the polls close tomorrow night, I will impose a 100% tariff on anyone moving to Texas from New York City.

Very funny.
We’re not sure who needs to hear this (seemingly, every Democrat in the country), but you can’t actually impose a tariff on an individual person, let alone someone traveling from state to state. Abbott was clearly having some fun with the fact that many New Yorkers who weren’t crazy looked like they might be fleeing the city, and Mamdani planned open-crime policies, government-run grocery stores, and “free” buses.
This is a common joke in red states like Texas and Florida that don’t want people bringing their blue voting record to successful states that reject such policies.
Naturally, Abbott’s wisdom has prompted countless sordid rebukes on the left, resulting in a massive hissing fit.
This is illegal.
MAGA has become the party of violating the Constitution. https://t.co/qvArsKiyDS– Ed Krassen (@EdKrassen) November 3, 2025
Oh. Leftist conman Ed Krasenstein even wrote the word “violation” with a capital letter. This is how we know he must be very serious.
But he was not alone. Many of the other worst people on X were also hunted.

We were happy to see Jemele Hill took a five-second break from calling everything she doesn’t like “RAAYYYCISSS!” To pretend she knows how to meme.

1. This is illegal

This account is known for being wrong about everything, and yesterday was no exception, as we saw how that tweet was posted almost immediately after. The New York Post reported that nearly a million New Yorkers are already planning to walk out of the city if Mamdani wins.

If there’s one thing New York absolutely rejects, it’s “good.” But at least Gov. Kathy Hochul has an embarrassing “press desk” account on X, just like Gavin Newsom.

If there was one post that sums up the left’s logic and their twisted and distorted mentality, it might be this one.
The stupidest thing on the Internet today is that the governor can’t enforce tariffs. Customs tariffs cannot be imposed on people moving from one country to another. https://t.co/aSrP08IIez

No, actually, the stupidest thing on the Internet yesterday was that people like Feigl-Ding took the bait.
But they always bite that worm. every time.

Don’t worry, Molly Pluffkins. No one thinks you’re funny. Or that you have a double-digit IQ.
Of course, it wouldn’t have been such a great joke if foam-mouthed lunatic Keith Olbermann hadn’t responded to it in a cheesy way.
Take all the MAGA you want, A******e. No charge
– Keith Olbermann (@KeithOlbermann) November 4, 2025
Hey, at least Olbermann didn’t threaten to kill anyone with his response. Maybe the medication is starting to work.
Unfortunately, we cannot say the same for everyone on the left, many of whom have resorted to their favorite political argument: violence.

Stay classy, leftists. We’d expect nothing less from a Jay Jones “Two Bullets” concert.
Fortunately, not everyone is as miserable as these people. Many found Abbott’s joke funny.
I love a ruler who has a sense of humor!😂 https://t.co/7NJnLJneNG

distinct. Let’s have Texas Rangers patrol all the other state borders, plus the southern border.
Ron DeSantis better get the ball with this one. We don’t want communists coming to Florida either. https://t.co/sPHiD54Lp0

And in Florida, Governor DeSantis will deploy alligators and mosquitoes to keep blue voters away.
Texans will have to pay extra to purchase a New Yorker. https://t.co/caHsiROcC8

Haha.
Don’t pay the tariff! Like Chinese produce, New Yorkers are of poor quality and likely to collapse after an hour in the Texas heat.
He learned that from me on Halloween by imposing tariffs on the candy they brought back for my kids https://t.co/eAE9QlRIbr pic.twitter.com/I6p7640Pm2

Oh! This candy tax is always tough. Especially on Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.
However, many who heard the joke wished it wasn’t so.
I know this is a joke, but it shouldn’t be. https://t.co/X3f0kJmg6n

I’ve been saying for years that Texas should impose an income tax on new residents. Make it temporary, such as 5 years, and decreasing annually until that period is up https://t.co/YHSyrJ2ndw
-Josh Abbott (@joshabbottband) November 3, 2025
If they buy a MAGA hat and an American flag, they can cut the tax in half.
Republicans would do well to think seriously about what they are going to do with these refugees looking to resettle in their state from New York.
New research shows that nearly 1 in 10 New Yorkers are preparing to move.
I’ll get zero from New York City. https://t.co/E0igaqBcPv

Send them to Los Angeles.
He’s joking, but I’m not: We need to build a wall around New York after Mamdani wins. Escape from New York, baby! https://t.co/ASKIYNSM6k
— Sour Patch Lyds N (@sourpatchlyds) November 3, 2025
Very funny. We’ve said that many times. John Carpenter had the right solution for New York City all along.
If Mamdani He does If we win tonight, many New Yorkers will flee the city. This is apparent certainty.
We are sure that Texas, Florida and other states will receive them.
Governor Abbott won’t be able to slap a tariff on them, but maybe he can administer an IQ test. If refugees scored high, it means they probably did not vote for Mamdani and should be welcomed.
Is there anyone who fails? Tell them Texas moved to Chicago.
