NEW YORK (Yaakov M / VINnews) — Kathy Hochul continues to dismiss concerns about high crime, in condescending and bizarre fashion.

The New York Governor claimed on Al Sharpton’s show on MSNBC that the notion that crime is up is a “conspiracy” created by “master manipulators.”
Hochul said: “These are master manipulators. They have this conspiracy…to try to convince people that Democrat states are not as safe. They are not only election deniers, they are data deniers. The data shows that shootings and murders are down in our state by 15% in NYC down 20% in Long Island.”
I’m sick & tired of these stupid quotes from @KathyHochul!
By almost every measure crime is way up and, more importantly, ppl are legitimately scared to do basic things like ride the subway!
Dear voters: IT’S TIME TO VOTE HOCHUL THE HELL OUT OF OFFICE!https://t.co/BHToyBffTK

Anybody walking the streets, riding the subways, or reading the news is aware that New York City has become a city of chaos and mayhem, where criminals roam free and create havoc.
Although murders are down by 14% in New York City compared with last year, all other major crimes were up — including a 33% rise in robberies.
In a recent debate, Hochul outraged many viewers by dismissing voters’ concerns about crime. In response to Lee Zeldin questioning her position on keeping criminals locked up, Hochul replied, “I don’t know why that’s so important to you.”
Officials on both sides of the aisle blasted Hochul’s comments.
Dov Hikind, a Democrat who stanuchly supports and campaigns for Zeldin, tweeted: “I’m sick & tired of these stupid quotes from @KathyHochul! By almost every measure crime is way up and, more importantly, ppl are legitimately scared to do basic things like ride the subway!”
NYS GOP chairman Nick Langworthy said: “There are plenty of murder victims who would beg to differ if they were alive to speak out. The only ones in denial are Kathy Hochul and the Democrats who are obfuscating and lying to try and cover up the crime crisis that everyone knows they created.”
Queens Councilman Robert Holden, another Democrat who endorsed Zeldin, accused Hochul of being “a crime denier.”
“Everyone sees the general lawlessness on the streets. She doesn’t walk the streets or ride the subways. She’s in her little bubble,” he said.
Many Rabbonim and frum leaders have endorsed Zeldin in recent days, as the orthodox community rallies around him, which may provide the edge he needs in an extremely tight race.
Oh, stop with the gun myth already. The alleged attacker in the Pelosi home had a legal gun. Oh wait……… He allegedly used a hammer. No gun. Even Beto O’Rourke couldn’t rail against legal guns in this alleged case. If we grab all legal registered guns from law abiding citizens and only allow the black criminals in the Bronx and Bedford Stuyvesant, all heinous crimes would end overnight. Not a single black would ever be killed again. Guns guns guns guns guns. That’s all these filthy democrats can talk about. Throwing an innocent black to their death in front of a moving NYC subway train by some black homeless bum, has nothing to do with guns. Enough already. Stop with the lies.
Dem-o-rats are desperate.
Hope NY a hell whole wake up.
If this plastic face woman, the Nancy Pelosi look alike, think she’s going to convince any sane person by joining Tawana Brawley’s AL Sharpton, the criminal: that just shows how out of touch she is! Fuhgget what she sade! If she’s with AL criminal Sharpton, she is not for safe NY.
Who’s she supposed to be fooling? Those of us who are experiencing the crime, or those of us who are witnessing it?
It’s always somebody’s fault with Kathy fjcc come late hochul
If you want more of the same, which means, crime against Jews, lawlessness in the streets, murder rate up then vote for Hochul. But it’s about time to stop voting Dem and start voting with the party that will fight for your family’s protection. Zeldin is the right way to go.
just got egged tonight (Halloween shtick) by minorities who screamed epithets at me -wonder who is egging them on–(hint eliza “dog whistler” shapiro and her (soon to be hubby?) nick moster– but i am sure glad that crime is down -VOTE LEE ZELDIN for our safety and for our children’s future!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The truth on crime is both sides have a point and both a wrong on many issues.
Yes murders are down but other crimes are up.
Now let’s focus on gun control. What’s wrong with banning anyone younger than 21? Do you really think 18 year old shnuks should have guns? You do know that many organizations like Hatzalah won’t accept an 18 yr old bec they are still too immature. You know that must mass shootings are commuted by young adults under 25? Even if you say guns protect us why wouldn’t you want a ban on 21 year olds ? I’d make it 25.
Now of course when it comes to subway crimes and robberies Republicans are correct. We need broken windows restored. If cops came to the platform and locked these crazies up for commuting minor infractions and / or being a public nuisance, they’d never get to the point of pushing people onto platforms.
Either way we like zeldin bec of yeshivas
Please vote for Kathy Hochul. Any other vote is a vote for a corrupt yeshiva system with bad lunches and rebbeim who actually have a vote for Kathy
