Profiles in Leftist Hypocrisy: Tiffany Cabán
We have another car-hating New York City pol for the Do As I Say Not As I Do files. Assemblymoonbat Emily Gallagher, meet Councilkook Tiffany Cabán:
Cabán was slapped with seven traffic tickets totaling $490 in fines and late fees since November 2022 — including four in the past 13 months for being caught on camera speeding in school zones, a review of city records shows.
The remaining summonses on the pol’s black Chevy Cruze include two for blocking fire hydrants, and another for parking in a “No Standing” zone.
She makes up for her sociopathic driving habits by trying to prevent others from driving cars:
While campaigning for Council in 2021, Cabán advocated converting at least 25% of all city roadways “into space for people” as part of her New York-version of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s stalled Green New Deal plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions nationwide.
Cabán, who represents Astoria and nearby neighborhoods, called on the city during the campaign to create “1,000-lane miles” of permanent car-free “Open Streets,” 500 miles of dedicated bus-only lanes and 500 miles of new bike lanes.
According to Cabán’s ideology, the climate does not approve of cars.
The soft-on-crime pol has a history of being a stickler of the law when it comes to cracking down on dangerous drivers.
She even proposed a Vehicular Crimes Unit within the office of the Queens District Attorney so as to punish scofflaw drivers like herself.
Gallagher isn’t her only company:
The Queens pol is latest in a long line of socialists and other lefty lawmakers with a history of being serial speeders despite publicly pushing safe-streets and environmentally conscious platforms, including Comptroller and mayoral candidate Brad Lander, Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine, and Public Advocate Jumaane Williams.
Cabán — an advocate of pro-criminal “restorative justice” who discourages people from calling 911 — previously appeared in the DAISNAID files when she called the cops over hostile phone messages.
