NY Gov. Kathy Hochul accuses Lee Zeldin of ‘trying to scare people for months’ over state's crime woes
Fox News
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul on Monday accused her Republican opponent of 'trying to scare people for months' by hammering her on crime.
"And New Yorkers are on to it," she said, according to the Washington Times. "All the legitimate media organizations have called him out for what he is doing — fear-mongering," she said. "That’s not just here in New York. That has been the Republican playbook all across this country." Louis Casiano is a reporter for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to louis.casiano@fox.com.
Fox News Digital has reached out to Zeldin.
A Times reporter then asked the Democratic governor why she has taken a "mocking tone" with New Yorkers experiencing fears of crime in the city, Hochul replied that it was "an absurd assessment."
