New York's Shocking Secession Plan: A 'South Park' Twist

State Sen. Liz Krueger (D-Manhattan) recently suggested that New York and other progressive states secede from the US and join Canada following Donald Trump's return to the White House. This surprising proposal sparked a humorous response from GOP Rep. Mike Lawler.

Lawler, referencing the iconic South Park movie Bigger, Longer & Uncut, tweeted a GIF from the "Blame Canada" song, mocking Krueger's idea. He further criticized the proposal's absurdity and emphasized that not all New Yorkers share Krueger's progressive views. He also highlighted concerns about New York's financial state, pointing to a $61 billion increase in state spending over the past four years.

Krueger's comments, made to reporters in Albany, included a playful yet serious suggestion of a takeover of Canada through population numbers if the secession happened. She even admitted to contacting Canadian officials regarding this possibility.

Lawler clarified his "Blame Canada" reference, stating it highlighted the absurdity of Krueger's comments and underscored the sentiment that most Americans, including New Yorkers, do not desire to become Canadians.
