OPINION: NY Gov. Hochul rails against 'insanity' of NYC crime surge and ignores obvious solutions
NY GOV. HOCHUL RIPS BROOKLYN SUBWAY SHOOTING: 'WE ARE SICK AND TIRED OF READING HEADLINES ABOUT CRIME'
Following New York City’s First Deputy Mayor Lorraine Grillo and NYPD Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell to the podium, the governor began with this bit of insipid banality: Her political calculus – similar to Mayor Eric Adams’ ongoing pivot to address the surge of criminality in New York City – is transparent. But in the wake of what appears to be an act of terror in the Brooklyn subway and Hochul’s recent, tepid attempts to tweak the Democrats’ bail reform disaster, her"tough on crime" bluster rings hollow, served up as opportunistic pablum:
One cannot fairly lay the responsibility for James’ depraved attack on anyone else’s doorstep. This evil, madman is allegedly culpable for the heinous crimes committed in Brooklyn on Tuesday. And yet the Democrats, the political party in control of New York – which controls all levers of power – should accept responsibility for the continued diminution of what was once America’s safest big city.
