Blakeman joins Queens Dem in accusing Hochul of going ‘wok’ with NYS gas stove ban

Hochul’s getting fried for going wok! Republican gubernatorial Bruce Blakeman joined a Queens Democrat who is blasting Gov. Kathy Hochul for her gas stove ban — saying it’ll take a bite out of Asian culture. City Councilman Phil Wong (D-Queens), who was born in Hong Kong, said he’d vote for the candidate “who is going to let me keep my wok” at a Saturday event hosted by the Juniper Civic Association that Blakeman also attended. Bruce Blakeman fried Gov. Kathy Hochul over her controversial gas stove ban. Bruce Blakeman / Instagram “If you move into a new building, you’re out of luck. No wok for you,” Wong said. “There’s not a single Asian family who said they can cook [stir-fry in a wok] with an electric stove top.” The gas ban — aimed at reducing carbon emissions — applies to new buildings up to seven stories tall this year, and taller buildings by 2029. The edict is on hold due to pending litigation.
