Republican New York City Councilwoman Vickie Paladino doesn’t have much sympathy for the congestion toll pricing activist who was attacked on the subway recently, telling Newsmax on Thursday that perhaps the “elitist” could muster more empathy for every day New Yorkers.

“I say tsk tsk, that’s really too bad. You know these activists that refuse to face facts have to face reality of what the subways are really like.
