New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) appears to believe the concern about Crime is at least in part the result of a Republican-crafted conspiracy.
During an appearance on MSNBC on Sunday, Hochul said of Republicans, “These are master manipulators.”
“They have this conspiracy going all across America trying to convince people that in Democrat states, they’re not as safe. Well, guess what, they’re also not only election deniers. They’re data deniers,” she continued. “The data shows that shootings and murders are down in our state by 15% in New York City.”

In recent weeks, polls have shown the New York gubernatorial race a lot closer than many probably would have expected it would be at the beginning of the year. RealClearPolitics shows Hochul’s lead over Rep. Lee Zeldin (R) has shrunk from nearly 20 points to 7.3 points.
