Statement from NYGOP Chairman Nick Langworthy on Hochul’s WNYC Radio Interview with Brian Lehrer 

April 13, 2022 

“Kathy Hochul has some explaining to do. It’s been more than 24 hours since her handpicked Lieutenant Governor was arrested and charged in a bribery scheme involving the illegal use of taxpayer dollars and she has yet to hold a press conference addressing these serious charges. Doing a call-in radio interview with a left-wing host doesn’t cut it. In her comments, she tried to sweep it under the rug as a non-issue, when the reality is that she has consistently turned a blind eye to obvious corruption, first with Cuomo and then with her choice for Lieutenant Governor. She has demonstrated a stunning lack of judgment that is only exacerbated by her terrible handling of this major crisis rocking her administration. Come out of hiding, Kathy, and account for your actions.”
