New York Governor Kathy Hochul recently made strong statements condemning individuals planning to vote Republican in the upcoming election. During a Saturday appearance, Hochul expressed her belief that supporting any Republican candidate in the state would align the voter with former President Trump. She emphasized that voting for Republicans equates to being 'anti-woman,' 'anti-abortion,' and 'anti-American.'
Hochul's remarks underscore her view that voting for Republicans in New York signifies a backing of Trump and a rejection of American values. She warned voters that by supporting Republican candidates, they are essentially going against the core principles of the country.
These comments from Hochul are part of a broader trend within the Democratic Party, where there has been a pattern of criticizing and shaming Republicans who continue to support Trump. President Biden also recently faced backlash for referring to Trump's supporters as 'garbage,' a statement he later sought to clarify.
