Racist remark caused a stir online.
Revealing what she really thinks of her African American constituents, New York’s unelected Democrat Governor Kathy Hochul claimed, “Young black kids growing up in the Bronx don’t even know what the word computer is.”
“They don’t know these things,” the governor bizarrely stated during a trip to California on Monday.
Hochul then explained she wants “the world to open up to all of them” so that “their diverse voices” can be heard in technology industries.
The insulting comment was slammed online.
“She really believes this,” wrote popular X account Clown World.
“Talk about being out of touch. Globalist puppets are completely ignorant and disconnected from reality,” wrote Infowars‘ Alex Jones.
“This is how Democrats see black people. And they see themselves as the savior of them,” wrote journalist Carmine Sabia.
Others piled on:
The governor delivered a response to the New York Post following backlash over the remark, telling the outlet, “I misspoke and I regret it. Of course Black children in the Bronx know what computers are — the problem is that they too often lack access to the technology needed to get on track to high-paying jobs in emerging industries like AI. That’s why I’ve been focused on increasing economic opportunity since Day One of my Administration.”
