(DC Pundit) – New York Governor Kathy Hochul just took political mudslinging to a whole new level during her recent MSNBC appearance, where she basically told millions of Americans they’re traitors for… wait for it… daring to vote Republican.
You know things are getting bad when a governor starts telling people they’re “anti-woman and anti-American” simply because they might check a different box on their ballot.
According to Democrats, having different political views makes you public enemy number one. And, they seem to be getting more comfortable with this kind of talk lately. Instead of trying to win people over with ideas and solutions, they’re going straight for the jugular, hurling insults at anyone who sees things differently.
New York Republican Lee Zeldin didn’t let this slide. He shared the clip on X (formerly Twitter), knowing that most voters would see right through this desperate attempt to demonize half the country.
Quite the closing message from the so called campaign of joy: If you don’t vote Democrat, you are Nazi, Hitler loving, anti-American garbage. pic.twitter.com/pbz47BSOwO

While Hochul is busy alienating potential voters, NY Rep. Elise Stefanik is suggesting something that would have seemed impossible not long ago: New York might actually go red for Trump this time around. Given the current political climate and reactions to rhetoric like Hochul’s, maybe it’s not such a far-fetched idea after all.
NEW YORK IS IN PLAY!
President Trump is polling ahead in New York swing districts where Joe Biden won by 15 points in some cases.
I urge all New Yorkers to get out and vote early in-person to elect all of our incredible @NewYorkGOP candidates on your ballot!…

When political leaders resort to calling their opponents anti-American, it usually means one thing – they’re running scared. And based on Hochul’s comments, it seems the Democrats might be much more worried about their chances than they’re letting on.
