WATCH: KathyHochul says New Yorkers safer under Democrat rule, pitches GOP conspiracy
"They have this conspiracy going all across America trying to convince people that in Democratic states that they're not as safe. Well, guess what? They're also not only election deniers, they're data deniers."Pro-gun Republicans are hoodwinking voters, she argued.
"The data shows that shootings and murders are down in our state by 15% in New York City, down 20% on Long Island, where Lee Zeldin comes from," according to the governor.Recently released crime statistics appear to disagree with Hochul's claim that New Yorkers are safer under Democrat control. Although the overall murder rate in New York City is down from where it was a year ago, incidents of rape, robbery, burglary, grand larceny, and grand larceny auto in Sept. 2022 are all higher than they were the same time last year, according to New York City's index crime statistics.
On the whole, total crime is up more than 15%, the index reported. Crime on the New York City subway, in particular, is grabbing the nation's attention.New videos continue to emerge on social media showing horrific attacks including stabbings, beatings, and New Yorkers being pushed in front of oncoming trains.
