New York Governor Kathy Hochul is really covering herself in glory this weekend. On Friday, she insisted that New York Democrats 'followed the rules' when they redistricted NY a few years ago.
They didn't (more on that in a bit).
Then she went on to blame Republicans for 'breaking the rules' first, so Democrats had no choice but to break the rules, too. That, of course, directly contradicts her claim that Dems followed the rules.
This morning, Hochul appeared on Fox News Sunday, demonstrating that she believes repeating a lie enough will somehow make it true.
Watch:
Fox: Three years ago, New York drew up a map so gerrymandered that the state's liberal Court of Appeals threw it out.

Hochul: "We followed the rules."

A court said you didn't.
Well, there you have it. She followed the rules.🤪

She said so. Ignore the courts.
Or something.
If New York’s highest court ruled the map was gerrymandered and violated the rules, on what legal or factual basis does Governor Hochul still insist they “followed the rules”?

Was this simply political spin, or does she have evidence that the court misinterpreted the process?…
She has none. It's all about the narrative.
Horchul is giving us a Jussie Smollett-level of lying.

She's a Democrat. That's what they do best.
So it’s not about the rules per se. it’s about the timeframe?

Anything to deflect and blame Republicans.
@GovKathyHochul has the intellectual gravitas of a fruitfly mentally impaired by pesticide exposure.

That's an insult to mentally impaired fruit flies.
We followed the rules after trying to break them. Reality is such an inconvenience to them

Same vibes.
This gaslighting from the left is getting F****** OLD. https://t.co/YbqvVM2rYY

It's abuse. Gaslighting is abuse. Kathy Hochul and her fellow Dems are abusing us.
Any doubt about why so many New Yorkers are moving to Florida, Texas or Tennessee is totally erased after watching and listening to Hochul for five minutes. https://t.co/NpbZcXruTV

It's a total mystery as to why people are fleeing that state.
Total. Mystery.
NOT.

She is not.
The fallacy of making the courts the final referee of the law and Constitution (which the founders wisely didn't do, and we stupidly have) on display here. When confronted with direct confirmation they were rebuked by said courts, Democrats just repeat their talking points and… https://t.co/CZ8tnTXecp
