   Gov. Kathy Hochul on Saturday called New Yorkers who vote for Republican   
   House candidates “anti-American” and “anti-women” — a smear that sparked   
   furor across the Empire State and beyond.   
      
   “If you’re voting for these Republicans in New York, you are voting for   
   someone who supports Donald Trump and you’re anti-women, you’re anti-   
   abortion, and basically, you’re anti-American,” Hochul said on MSNBC.   
      
   “You just trashed American values and what our country is all about — over   
   and over.”   
      
   The Dem governor spewed her incendiary remarks less than a week after   
   Democratic President Biden dismissed Donald Trump supporters as “garbage.”   
      
   Hochul also previously divisively targeted New York Republican pols in   
   2022, telling them to “just jump on a bus and head down to Florida where   
   you belong. OK? Get out of town. Because you don’t represent our values.”   
      
   Republicans immediately blasted the governor over her latest sneers — and   
   even Democratic strategists said demonizing a large segment of voters as   
   anti-American was not helpful to their candidates.   
      
   “This is about as helpful as a severe migraine. It’s never a good thing to   
   identify a large segment of voters as un-American,” said New York ex-   
   Democratic Rep. Max Rose, who is aiding Democrats in House races.   
      
   “Kathy Hochul doesn’t represent a majority of Democrats — anywhere,” said   
   Rose, who served one-term representing Staten Island and parts of southern   
   Brooklyn.   
      
   State Republican Party Chairman Ed Cox fumed, “She’s smearing at least one   
   half of American voters and all Trump voters.”   
      
   Rep. Mike Lawler (R-Hudson Valley) told The Post, “Governor Hochul has   
   once again disgraced herself and the state of New York by calling   
   supporters of some of the most bipartisan members of Congress ‘anti-   
   American.’   
      
   “It’s shameful and wrong and shows exactly how much of a partisan hack   
   Kathy Hochul really is. She must be voted out in November of 2026, but   
   only after Republicans hold the House thanks to our New York GOP   
   delegation.”   
      
   He noted that his Democratic opponent, ex-Rep. Mondaire Jones, didn’t   
   appear with Hochul when she was in the 17th House district in the Hudson   
   Valley Saturday.   
      
   Upstate Rep. Elise Stefanik, chair of the House Republican Conference,   
   called Hochul the “worst governor in America” after seeing the clip.   
      
   And state Conservative Party chairman Gerard Kassar said he was “amazed”   
   in a scathing rebuke of the governor.   
      
   “It demonstrates why she is so unpopular,” Kassar said. “Her statement is   
   asinine.”   
      
   Republicans said the statement is so offensive that it looks as if Hochul   
   is angling for a job in a Kamala Harris administration, if the vice   
   president wins, because it certainly is not a plus for a re-election bid   
   in 2026.   
      
   A Siena College poll released last month showed that only 36% of New   
   Yorkers gave Hochul a favorable rating, while 51% viewed her unfavorably.   
      
   A decade ago, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo caught flak for saying   
   conservatives have “no place” in New York.   
      
   “Who are they? Right to life, pro-assault weapons, anti-gay — if that’s   
   who they are, they have no place in the state of New York because that’s   
   not who New Yorkers are,” Cuomo said in 2014.   
      
   Hochul’s camp had no immediate comment to the criticism.

   Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden
