Saturday 5 November 2022 11:01 PM NY Governor Hochul is slammed by woke MSNBC anchor for NYC's out-of-control ... trends now
The Governor of New York Kathy Hochul has been taken to task over New York City's crime surge on what would be traditionally media-friendly, liberal network MSNBC.
But presenter of The 11th House, Stephanie Ruhle, interrupted Hochul's interview to cut to the chase bluntly telling her: 'we don't feel safe.'
'Here's the problem. We don't feel safe, you might be working closely with Mayor Adams, you may have spent a whole lot of money but I walk into my pharmacy and everything is on lockdown because of shoplifters,' Ruhle said.
'I'm not going in the subway. people don't feel safe in this town. So, you may have done these things. But right now, we're not feeling good. We're worried we could be San Francisco?'

The back-and-forth occurred during the 11th Hour on MSNBC on Friday night
'We'll never be San Francisco,' Hochul fired back. She said the 'most heinous' crimes, meaning homicides, and shootings were actually down compared to this time last year.
Hochul added that she was taking steps to tackle increases in crime in other categories but Ruhle appeared far from satisfied.
'It doesn't matter what's happening in other cities or other states. The reason people don't feel safe in New York, is why they're starting to say, can Kathy Hochul be the right governor, right? It doesn't really matter what's happening in Pennsylvania or San Francisco, you need to get New Yorkers'` votes. And safety is a top issue for us.'
The suspect was perp walked out of a Manhattan precinct on Thursday night after the alleged attack
Pictured: Carl Phanor, a 29-year-old homeless man, was taken into custody for the rape of a 43-year-old jogger in the West Village on Thursday
In the latest shocking incident, a woman was jogging by Pier 45, near West and Christopher Streets in the West Village, at around 5:30am earlier this week, when Carl Phanor, 29, grabbed her from behind and choked her until she passed out.
Phanor, who has 25 priors and who is wanted for at least two other sex crimes, then removed her clothes, raped her, and then fled the scene on a Citi Bike with her headphones, cell phone and wallet.
The shaken victim was spotted by a fellow jogger, and first responders took her to a nearby hospital.
Phanor is also wanted for an attempted rape in October, and the sexual assault of another jogger long Pier 40 in March.
He was busted at the Port Authority bus terminal after police found him using the latest victim's credit cards at a Target in Midtown, purchasing $39 worth of Red Bull.
