NY Times editorial board member who opposed Tom Cotton op-ed now supports Hochul sending troops to NYC
Fox News
The New York Times' Mara Gay is backing New York Gov. Kathy Hochul's plan to send troops to NYC subways to quell crime after blasting the Tom Cotton op-ed in 2020.
"New York City cannot function without a thriving subway, and ensuring that the system not only is safe but feels safe is paramount. So Gov. Kathy Hochul’s decision to deploy 750 National Guard members and 250 New York State Police officers to the subways after a spate of attacks is the right one," Gay wrote in a Times blog post, later adding, "If Hochul’s deployment of state officers can provide even some psychological comfort, nudging additional riders back to the subways, it could help the system become safer."

Gay was even quick to dismiss concerns that such use of the National Guard would lead to the return of "illegal" stop and frisks from the Giuliani and Bloomberg administrations, saying "that history isn’t a reason to stop the deployment of responsible policing where and when it is needed."
