Democrat Ritchie Torres' torrent of attacks against own party fuels primary showdown buzz in New York
Fox News
Rep. Ritchie Torres is considering a run for governor, his spokesperson said — and he's generating buzz by going after fellow Democrats.
"Hochul has a history of coded stereotyping, falsely claiming that young black Bronxites have never heard of the word ‘computer.’ She knows as much about me and communities of color as she knows about governing effectively. Absolutely nothing," he wrote on X last week. Elizabeth Elkind is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital leading coverage of the House of Representatives.

He was also one of the first Democrats to come out and blame the progressive left for Vice President Kamala Harris’ loss to President-elect Trump, saying at the time, "Donald Trump has no greater friend than the far left, which has managed to alienate historic numbers of Latinos, Blacks, Asians, and Jews from the Democratic Party."
