NY Governor Takes Heat After Calling Trump Supporters ‘Clowns’

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) is facing criticism for how she described the thousands of people who turned out for former President Donald Trump’s rally in the Bronx.

Hochul appeared on CNN Thursday evening ahead of the rally and dismissed the idea her state will go for Trump in the general election, saying, “I’ll tell you what won’t make a difference at all… that is for 👤Donald Trump to be a ringleader and invite all his clowns to a place like the Bronx.”

“New York will never, ever support 👤Donald Trump for president. We know him better than anyone,” she continued. “This state will go solidly behind Joe Biden for president as it has in the past.”

Hochul added, “So, he wants to spend his time doing his made up, fake rallies and pretending there’s support here, be my guest… Go ahead, spend all the time you want in New York, because we will be with Joe Biden.”
