The Issue: Gov. Kathy Hochul’s remarks to black churchgoers to not buy booze with refund checks.

Kathy Hochul’s remarks to a mostly black audience about not spending government checks on alcohol was so racist that it defies belief ( “Backlush at gov,” Sept. 11).

If a Republican governor said that, there would be riots in the streets. However, because she’s a liberal Democrat, she gets a pass. Hochul is a feckless, incompetent moron. Black voters should keep her remarks in mind when she runs for re-election.

As an Irish Catholic, Gov. Hochul should know about stereotypes.

Yet she condescendingly suggests in a black church that a rebate check not be spent on a bottle of “Colt 45.” Perhaps she should try not preaching.
