But part of the reason why Bruce was so great last night, I'll be honest, was she was so terrible.
I said, Mike Lawler, earlier this morning, I said, the only debate performance I've ever seen that may have been worse was Biden versus Trump.
Look, Kathy Hochul is the most inept, incompetent, feckless governor in America.
whether it's the cost of utilities, which have risen 58% in six years because she shut down nuclear power, she banned natural gas extraction, she blocked pipelines, she required all electric construction, and then she shocked that utility rates went up.
Well, when you limit the supply, you idiot, of course utility rates are going to go up.
So, you know, you look at that issue, you look at her new sanctuary state policy.
The media in this state is so pathetic and so such an embarrassment to New Yorkers.
She keeps saying this is about civil immigration enforcement and that we want local cops doing local jobs, keeping our communities safe.
How the hell do you keep our community safe when you refuse to honor 16,000 detainer requests on criminals? Yeah.
And you release... 7,000 convicted criminal illegal aliens back out onto the street, including 29 murderers.
Somebody explain to me how the fuck that makes sense, how that policy is even allowed to exist in the state of New York to put criminals back out onto the streets who are in this country illegally.
And she has the audacity to gaslight New Yorkers and stand on stage and lie to their faces and And Errol Lewis and Susan are better say nothing.
