Congressman Zeldin, Dutchess County Executive Molinaro Slam Kathy Hochul for Declaring They Are "Not New Yorkers" and Need to Move Out of the State

Hochul Comments Come on the Eve of NY-19 Special Election

NEW YORK – Tonight, Congressman Lee Zeldin (R, NY-1), the Republican Party and Conservative Party designee for Governor, and Dutchess County Executive Marcus Molinaro, the Republican Party and Conservative Party nominee for New York 19th’s Congressional District (NY-19) slammed Governor Kathy Hochul for declaring they are “not New Yorkers” and need to move out of the state. Hochul’s comments came ahead of tomorrow’s NY-19 special election.

“Wow Kathy Hochul. You’re losing your marbles, lady,” tweeted Congressman Zeldin. “Won’t take you up on your psycho demand to leave New York, but what I will do is get in my car right now, drive to NY-19, & do everything in my power to make sure Marc Molinaro wins tomorrow’s Special Election for Congress.” 

Congressman Zeldin, who is now on his way to NY-19 to campaign for Molinaro, sent Kathy Hochul this video message.

“Governor Hochul – the Governor of the entire State of New York – at a rally with my opponent nodding along sounded exactly like Andrew Cuomo,” said Dutchess County Executive Marcus Molinario. “Disagree with their policies, disagree with them and you have no place here. This is yet another example of how arrogant Kathy Hochul, Pat Ryan and liberals have become. Let me be very clear: Everyone who lives here regardless of your party or beliefs is a New Yorker. And, tomorrow, let’s remind Pat and Governor Hochul who they work for, we the people of New York. We the people of New York 19!”
