Video: Bruce Blakeman Makes His Closing Pitch Against Gov. Hochul on Taxes, Energy and Immigration
The Republican candidate for New York governor appeared on 'Sunday Morning Futures' as the November election nears.
Bruce Blakeman, the Republican running for governor of New York, used a Sunday TV interview to argue why voters should replace Gov. Kathy Hochul.
This post summarizes a clip that runs 8 minutes 52 seconds. We relied on Fox News's published title and description, not a transcript, so the details here are limited to what the network says about it.
According to Fox, Blakeman criticized Hochul's record on taxes, energy and immigration, and used the appearance on "Sunday Morning Futures" to make what Fox calls his closing pitch to voters. The description does not include figures or direct quotes, and we are not adding any.
The interview follows the Oct. 13 debate between the two, the only one scheduled before the November election. In a separate Fox report on that debate, Blakeman asked Hochul to apologize to families of people killed by illegal immigrants, and she answered by turning to deaths involving federal immigration agents.
Two limits to note. First, this is a candidate speaking in a friendly interview, and the description does not say whether he was challenged or whether Hochul's campaign responded. Second, we cannot say how his claims compare with state data.
