Governor Kathy Hochul joined MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle on 11th Hour on Saturday to talk about her opponent, Republican Lee Zeldin, and to discuss pressing problems in New York including crime which is out of control due to Hochul’s failed policies.

During the interview, Ruhle interrupted Governor Hochul, and confronted her about the out-of-control crime, stating that New Yorkers do not feel safe under her leadership.

Gov. Hochul: The Governor of New York is working in partnership with the mayor of New York City… I said, Mayor, I’m here to help you. Let me help get people who are severely mentally out of the subways. Let’s talk about getting more police officers. A couple of weeks ago, we got cameras in all the subway trains. We’re starting with that process… No governor has spent more money than I have on public safety in history.

Ruhle: I’m going to interrupt you then. Here’s the problem. We don’t feel safe. You might be working closely with Mayor Adams. You may have spent a whole lot of money, but I walk into my pharmacy and everything is on lockdown because of shoplifters. I’m not going in the subway. People don’t feel safe in this town. So you may have done these things, but right now we’re not feeling good. We’re worried. We could be San Francisco.

Hochul: We’ll never be San Francisco.

Ruhle: Why?

Hochul: Because we are already making a difference. We already have homicides and shootings down dramatically from what they had been last year. And that’s the most heinous of all crimes there are.

Watch:

Crime in New York City has spiked across the board since Hochul became governor last year, and critics say the surge is fueled by repeat offenders released time and again because of the state’s 2019 bail reform law.

Voters in New York are concerned about inflation, rising costs, and the rising crime rate.

Neither a Republican senator nor a Republican governor has been elected to office in New York in the past two decades, but that could soon change.
