New York lawmaker calls on Hochul to get state's rampant crime 'under control'

Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) harshly criticized Gov. Kathy Hochul‘s (D-NY) inaction on addressing crime in New York, calling on her and other lawmakers to “do their job” in protecting residents.

The congresswoman’s primary point of focus was on the lack of safety on New York City’s subway, which saw a man get stabbed while riding the subway system Sunday. Malliotakis blamed Democrats and their “radical bail law” that unleashed dangerous people onto the city’s streets, which she argued has led to a drastic increase in felony assaults.
