Governor Kathy Hochul is taking a page out of Charlie Crist’s book and alienating voters. Yesterday Hochul, who is running for reelection against GOP pick Lee Zeldin, told Republicans living in New York that they should just leave.
“Just jump on a bus and head down to Florida where you belong, OK? Get outta town. Get outta town, cause you don’t represent our values. You are not New Yorkers.”

My first thought when I heard this clip was, “What values?”
Basically, she wants half the tax base to leave the state. How could they possibly fund all their quasi-socialist programs if all the taxpaying Republicans leave? Also, it’s important to remember that this woman is currently the sitting Governor of the state. The blatant contempt she is expressing for a large portion of the citizens she supposedly governs is despicable. So why do conservatives stay? Why do they continue to live in a place that clearly doesn’t want them or care about them? Why live in a state governed by a woman who hates everything they stand for and everything they value? Here’s an interesting take on conservatives leaving New York.
3.27 million New Yorkers voted for Trump. If we all left the state, we could flip Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Virginia, and New Jersey. https://t.co/P2xOdcxo1l

If we substitute “Republicans” with “illegal immigrants” and “New York” for “our country”, we are left with a statement which was recently derided as racist by the MSM.
How is this statement qualitatively different from that statement? How many minorities or “people of color” are no longer welcome in New York, based on this statement? I’d guess quite a few.
Anyone holding their breath for that same media to call Hochul out for being a racist? Yeah, me neither…
So why isn’t she welcoming the illegals Abbott is sending up from Texas? I’m sure they will embrace “New York values” (whatever those are) as future Democrat voters. Otherwise she’s looking at losing even more NY congressional districts.
Interesting strategy. Everyone who will vote against me should move to Florida so they can vote against Charlie Crist.
New York- 41 counties voted Trump, 21 voted Biden.
Pennsylvania is about to get a lot bigger.
