On Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Katy Tur Reports,” New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) stated that “People are scared, they’re hurting” largely because of “this unsatiable effort by the Republicans to scare people, when I’m out there actually doing something to literally keep them safer.”

Hochul stated, “We have been fighting the crime issue and it doesn’t go back to an election season. It goes back to last January, when I was with Eric Adams working in partnership, the first time a Democratic Governor and a Mayor of the city of New York have actually worked as a partnership. We worked together in the subways.

We’ve added more cops. We’ve added cameras to keep people safer. We’ve added more care for the people who are severely mentally ill. … And illegal guns are at the core of this issue, and Lee Zeldin has opposed everything we’ve done. I’ve worked with law enforcement to get 8,000 illegal guns off the streets of New York.
