New Jersey Governor-Elect Mikie Sherill Threatens to Withhold Federal Taxes to Resist Trump (VIDEO)
The incoming governor of New Jersey is threatening to withhold federal taxes from the Trump administration.
In an interview with comedian Jon Stewart, Mikie Sherill said she had thought about witholding tax dollars “all the time” and concluded that is “great idea.”
“If they’re not gonna run the programs, then what are we paying them for?” she said.
“It’s like, you know, you’re paying us for a service and they’re not delivering. So let’s stop paying for it.”

California Governor Gavin Newsom has also floated withholding tax dollars, but this turned out to be an empty threat.
“We’re assessing it, we have looked into it, and Finance is looking across the spectrum of options,” he said in an interview with Politico back in June.
“But it’s limited, because most of that distribution and transfer comes from individual taxpayers,” he continued.
Gavin Newsom has suggested California “withhold” taxes from the federal government. This is at best nonsensical and at worst a serious felony.

Sherill, who shas erved as representative for New Jersey’s 11th congressional district since 2019, will take office in January after prevailing in the New Jersey gubernatorial election earlier this month, defeating Republican Jack Ciatrrelli by nearly 15 points.
It should come as no surprise that Sherill is another far-left radical.
Just days after the brutal assassination of TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk, Sherill suggested that he had spent his career spreading “vile dissenting views.”
“Charlie Kirk was advocating for a Christian nationalist government and to roll back the rights of women and Black people,” she said at the time.
”This flies in the face of every value I hold dear and that I fight for,” she added.
New Jersey Governor Candidate Mikie Sherrill is a DISGRACE.
She very much encourages the hateful culture that led to Charlie’s assassination.
What was so “vile” about Charlie’s views, Mikie?
That he was Pro God?
Pro family?
Anti communist?
Pro freedom?
Pro civil discourse? pic.twitter.com/1gjoWt5iRr— Mike Crispi (@MikeCrispi) September 19, 2025
