Kathy Hochul is governor of New York because Andrew Cuomo was Me-Tooed. As governor, Hochul prides herself on so-called women’s rights — chief among them being the right to an abortion at anytime. (Abortion rights are the “rock upon which we were founded.”) She wants women and girls to come to her state for their abortions — Lady Liberty will embrace you so your baby can be eliminated. So perhaps it’s perfect that she chose Jeffrey Epstein’s friend Bill Clinton — who was impeached for an abuse of power — to campaign for her in the final weekend of the race. It’s men like him who benefit from abortion.
It is also fitting that Clinton would joke about crime (Hochul thinks it’s some kind of conspiracy to say it’s on the increase):
“Lee Zeldin, he makes it sound like Kathy Hochul gets up every morning, goes to the nearest subway stop and hands out billy clubs [and] baseballs bats,” Clinton, the Chappaqua, Westchester County resident, said.
When the most intimate violence is insisted on and even celebrated, we are a far cry from his politically expedient “safe, legal, and rare.”
Nicole Gelinas from the Manhattan Institute was on fire this weekend with righteous indignation about the crime joke:
Joking about subway crime means you think nine murders a year on the subway, up from 1-2, is acceptable. I apologize for being too passionate about it, but I just don’t think it is acceptable at all. https://t.co/TSff5vOTyd

10 murders of women by strangers in NYC this year. In 2018, zero NYC women were killed by strangers. Just ACKNOWLEDGE it. That’s all you have to do. https://t.co/eCfuOKUbuE

Don’t let Bill Clinton gaslight you into thinking sexual harassment and knife crime on the subway are normal, and that worrying about such things makes you the object of ridicule. https://t.co/CY5BsQ9w49
