Socialist NYC pol Emily Gallagher screams ‘safe streets’ but blocks hydrants and ran a red light

Assembly Member Emily Gallagher (D-Brooklyn) hates cars — except her own.

The upstate-transplant socialist and “safe💧 streets” lover has notched at least 46 (!!!) tickets these past 2½ year♌s, for a total of more than $4,000. 

Turns out the white Buick of this tatted tribune of the💦 people was caught illegally blocking fire hydrants.

Power toꦚ the workers! Unless their building’s on fire, in which case: Screw ’em. 

Far worse, the Rochester-reared revolutionary’s car has ripped throꦐugh at lea꧑st one red light — in The Bronx, a borough that’s almost 90% people of color. 

Guess black lives DON’T matter when ol’ Emily’s in a rush. 

No wonder she slammed🍌 driving as a “very kind of aggressive activity” in a 2022 interview. 

She clearly assumes everyone else drives like a leadfooted s💃uburbanite sociopath, too.

And — as is by now customary for New York’s leftist pols — she’s a massive hypocrite when it comes to her own preferred vices. 

When she’s not blithely endangering lives by blowing through reds or doing her personal best to make sure the FDNY can’t put out fires, she’s taking other drivers to task.  

By (for e🌠xample) going on X to lambaste people for parking in crosswalks, though she got caught doing the exact same thing. 

Or backing laws to drop speed limits to 10♏MPH and to shrink the number of car lanes on super-busy McGuinness Boulevard. 

Don’t forge๊t screaming about climate change while driving in a city with major public-transit capacity. 

Can’🐼t ride the subway; that’s for those icky poors! Right, Em? 

And wh🥃en confronted with evidence of ওher scofflawism, she simply scoffs some more: “I don’t have speeding or school-zone violations. Just some parking tickets I’ve paid,” she sneered to The Post. 

Yeah, four grand worth. That💟’s enough scr𓂃atch for a seat in first class, set on fire. 

And it’s funny how she “forgot” the red-light run-through. 

After getting called out, she launc🦂hed into a weepy, delusional meltdown on X in which she accused Post reporters of being “operatives” (for the Vast L💛egal Parking & Traffic Light Conspiracy, no doubt).  

It’s almost funny how clockwork-predictable the cycle is: Leftist pol gets caught in obvious hypocrisy and throws a full-diaper tantrum. 

What makes it tragic is the fact that Gallagher (like every other elected DSA fraud) is taking taxpayer dollars while acting like laws are only for the little people.

You know: the ones she’s putting at risk with her erratic road beh🅷avior even as they’re required ﷽to pay her salary.
