‘Disrespectful and arrogant’: Kathy Hochul slammed for calling Trump supporters ‘clowns’

New York Governor Kathy Hochul faces backlash after she called Donald Trump supporters “clowns” on Thursday. Hochul was interviewed by CNN ahead of the former US president’s rally in the Bronx, New York. “Well, I’ll tell you what won’t make a difference at all, Jake, and that’s for Donald Trump to be a ringleader and invite all his clowns to a place like the Bronx,” she said. A clip of the interview was posted to X where social media users slammed the 65-year-old Governor. “How disrespectful and arrogant she is. She seems awfully confident that Biden will win New York. Apparently, she has her cheat in place,” one user wrote. The 45th president’s rally saw a surprisingly huge turnout despite being in the heart of a deep blue state. Before the rally, Trump’s campaign said 3,500 people were expected to attend, but the turnout was closer to 25,000.
