Zeldin ties Hochul to Cuomo's 'disgraceful legacy' in potential '22 NY gubernatorial election preview
Fox News
Rep. Lee Zeldin, the front-runner for the 2022 GOP gubernatorial nomination in New York, didn't waste time on Tuesday linking Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul to embattled Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
The four-term lawmaker, who represents New York's 1st Congressional District in the eastern half of Long Island, then charged that "unfortunately, for New Yorkers, we’re left with Cuomo’s Lieutenant who empowered this disgusting behavior while Andrew Cuomo cultivated this toxic culture, leaving a trail of victims in its wake. Kathy Hochul has been silent scandal after scandal, from fatal nursing home policies and coverups to rampant harassment, intimidation, bullying and abuse." Immediately following Cuomo’s announcement, Hochul put out a statement saying, "I agree with Governor Cuomo's decision to step down. It is the right thing to do and in the best interest of New Yorkers."More Related News
