For New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D), a vote for former President Donald Trump is a vote against America.
Hochul, a Democrat, was on MSNBCâs âPoliticsNationâ Saturday with host Rev. Al Sharpton to discuss the election as well as Trumpâs rally last week in Madison Square Garden, which she claimed âbackfiredâ on the Republican presidential nominee, per Mediaite.
Sharpton asked Hochul about the rally, which has been controversial since Oct. 27 when comedian Tony Hinchcliffe referred to Puerto Rico as âa floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean,â IJR previously reported.
âYou do not think in this great country that you we should have leaders who either say this themselves or will tolerate it at one of their rallies,â she said, per Mediaite. âI think this rally backfired on him.â
She then said voting for Republicans is un-American, especially in New York. She specifically noted New York Republicans are like all other Republicans.
âIt gave me a chance to tie the Republicans running in these seats, the incumbents, closer to Donald Trump,â she said, adding, âremind everybody, if youâre voting for these Republicans in New York, you are voting for someone who supports Donald Trump and youâre anti-woman, youâre anti-abortion, and basically youâre anti-American.â
