Hochul: We Are Not Letting FBI ‘Hunt Down’ Texas Dems—
Governor Kathy Hochul (D-NY) said Thursday on MSNBC’s “The Weeknight” that everyone should stand up and not let the FBI “hunt down” the 50 Texas Democratic legislators who left the state to avoid a vote on redistricting.
Co-host Alicia Menendez said, “Just to underscore something Michael said, there is no federal crime that all of a sudden these agents are getting involved in. Let’s say, though, it puts you on a collision course with the FBI. What do you do then?
Hochul said, “First of all, I have a lot of respect for the FBI, but I guarantee there are far more important pursuits that they should be engaging in, like human trafficking, breaking up drug cartels, and stopping terrorist attacks here in New York City.”
