Kathy Hochul Going on a Left-Wing Bomb-Thrower’s Show Won’t Help Her Improve ‘Political Discourse’

After Nancy Pelosi’s husband was assaulted by an unstable homeless drug addict who seems to have drifted in the past few years from left-wing insanity to right-wing insanity, embattled New York governor Kathy Hochul sought to capitalize on the attack by blaming Republican rhetoric.

Hochul told SiriusXM host and self-described “comedian” Dean Obeidallah, “It is bone-chilling to think that there are people out there that have been so radicalized. . . . It has to be not just called out, but not the act itself, but also the whole environment that allows the conspiracy theorists to become radicalized, and the sharing of social media, and the consequences that can prove for people that are innocent. And that’s what’s so deeply, deeply disturbing about this incident and really what’s happened to political discourse.”
