Hochul: Repealing Bail Reform Is 'Such a Simplistic Approach'
[Breitbart] On Friday’s broadcast of "CNN
...the organization formerly known as the Cable News Network. Now who knows what it might stand for...
This Morning," New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) responded to a question on whether she would repeal the state’s bail reform law like her opponent, Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY), has proposed, by saying it’s "is such a simplistic approach." And "To say that you’re just going to change one part of the system shows a naivete that is not going to be a real solution." She also stated "the data is not showing that" bail reform is causing increased crime, "There are individual cases, but compared to pre-pandemic and when this was passed, I don’t think there’s a real disparity."

Co-host Poppy Harlow asked, "As someone who takes my kids every day on the subway in New York City, very close to where you are this morning, look, yeah, homicides are down, but rapes are up, robberies are up, felony assault is up. And you talked about your opponent not having solutions, one thing that Lee Zeldin has said he would definitely do if he becomes governor is that he would, through an executive order, repeal, immediately, the bail reform law that was passed. You don’t love that law the way it stands, you’ve wanted changes to it. Would you do the same as he is saying he would? Would you repeal it through executive order?"

Hochul responded, "Again, that is such a simplistic approach. It negates the fact that it’s about how we support law enforcement. And he voted against — he wouldn’t support funding for the police. I tripled the amount of money for law enforcement. We’re supporting violence disrupter programs. To say that you’re just going to change one part of the system shows a naivete that is not going to be a real solution. So, we did make targeted changes to the bail laws covering gun cases and repeat offenders. That has all just been in effect for a few months now because of what I was able to accomplish in the budget. I’m always willing to look at it again, but the data is not showing that that is the cause of this. There are individual cases, but compared to pre-pandemic and when this was passed, I don’t think there’s a real disparity."

#1 That Hochul will lose the governorship of NY for the Dems is incredible to me. All that was needed was for her to address people’s needs in an effective way. None of the Dems in any state have done anything substantive to address violence, inflation or energy costs in particular. The lockstep nature indicates that this is mandatory for them. If she had removed the Soros-backed NYC DA, she would have won. They have named their Staypuff Marshmallow Man. They have refused to cross the streams. It is their red wave.

#2 ^ Slaves need to be fed and kept from freezing to death or dying of heat stroke. Beyound that, the dems have no clue, and now that they have unleashed their Chinese virus and started emptying the prisons as they did years ago with the asylums, the slaves have other life-threatening dangers to consider.

She could've done it when she was sworn in to take the stink of Cuomo. She didn't. Obviously, she doesn't want to change it, "Poppy"
