FLORIDA (Yaakov M / VINnews) — A spokeswoman for Governor Ron DeSantis blasted New York Governor Kathy Hochul for exploiting a Holocaust event to score political points.

On Wednesday, Hochul appeared at an event celebrating a new law that will require schools to expand education about the Holocaust. She used the appearance to bash the Florida Governor in front of an elderly Jewish crowd.

Hochul told the audience, which included Holocaust survivors: “I just want to say to the 1.77 million Jews who call New York home: Thank you for calling New York home. Don’t go anywhere or to another state. Florida is overrated. I shouldn’t say this, but look at the governor. It starts at the top down.”

Hochul then made light of the tasteless remarks, saying: “Getting in trouble — gotta stay on script,” before introducing Holocaust survivor Celia Kener.

In response, the DeSantis campaign accused Hochul of launching “cheap attacks.”

“An event about Holocaust education is not the time to launch cheap attacks at a fellow governor,” spokeswoman Lindsey Curnutte said in an email. “Kathy Hochul’s tasteless comments were offensive to thousands of Jewish people who are fleeing her state because of New York’s oppressive taxes, shuttered businesses, crime-infested cities, and needless mandates.”

NY Yidden do not use their political votes to get rid of Soneh Yisrael that are the leaders of the Democrats. And therefore the consequences are evident.

Moving to Florida would improve the life and finances of many. Voting for Repuclicans such as Zeldin and against Democrats such as Hochul would improve the life and finances of many.

It’s not only ‘mandates’ – it’s a slew of them, one more senseless and tyrannical than the next, including the lack of medical freedoms being imposed by the c19 shot to work in NYC, and for children to legally attain education anywhere other than at home throughout NY State without being subjected to the CDC vaccination schedule – now 72 doses of various ‘never proven safe’ inoculations before the age of 18.

Many of our ancestors gave their lives because there hadn’t been protections against medical mandates. The Nuremberg Laws therefore must be invigorated and enforced rigorously.

I see Governor DeSantis has just now discovered that politics is a rough business.
