Rep. Elise Stefanik Makes NY Gov. Kathy Hochul Face the Tragic Effects of Sanctuary Policies – Twitchy

A House committee is questioning a few governors of U.S. states that harbor illegal aliens and have policies that make them uncooperative with federal authorities attempting to enforce immigration laws. One of those governors is Kathy Hochul of New York. 

One tense and very telling exchange came when Rep. Elise Stefanik asked Hochul if she knew any of the victims of criminal illegals in her state. Hochul didn’t and kept trying to change the focus by repeatedly interjecting without answering the questions and accused Stefanik of “going for the viral moment.” The actual “viral moment” was Hochul proving she knows nothing about the criminal illegals who committed horrific crimes in her state who were protected from ICE because of the sanctuary policies the governor supports. Watch:

She doesn’t know the names of ANY of the criminals or the victims.

Hochul, who looks like a person Central Casting would send after you asked for somebody who looks like the female villain in a Disney cartoon, just showed exactly how much these Democrats pay attention to criminal illegals in their states.

That was deeply awkward for Hochul. Good. 

Imagine paying exorbitant taxes and living expenses to live in a state that protects rapists and murderers over you.

Then imagine continuing to vote for those people and policies.
