Hochul Lashes Out At New York Republicans

She's also lashing out at New York's Republican Congressional delegation.

"It was made possible by New York’s seven Republican members of Congress. They wrote it. They endorsed it. Now they’re cheering it on, selling out the very people they were sent to Washington to represent," Hochul added.

Her statement called out the seven GOP lawmakers by name, listing the number of people she says will be impacted in each of their districts.

"“To the 48,000 New Yorkers set to lose their coverage in Rep. LaLota’s district, the 48,000 in Rep. Garbarino’s, the 52,000 in Rep. Malliotakis’, the 31,000 in Rep. Lawler’s, the 44,000 in Rep. Stefanik’s, the 35,000 in Rep. Langworthy’s, and the 31,000 in Rep. Tenney’s: your members of Congress may have given up on you, but I never will," Hochul said.
