New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, took aim at GOP gubernatorial nominee Rep. Lee Zeldin, saying he and other supporters of former President Donald Trump should leave the state.

Gov. Kathy Hochul sparked controversy Monday night by saying “Trump and Zeldin and Molinaro — just jump on a bus and head down to Florida where you belong. OK? Get out of town. Because you don’t represent our values"

Wow @KathyHochul. You’re losing your marbles lady. Won’t take you up on your psycho demand to leave New York, but what I will do is get in my car right now, drive to NY-19, & do everything in my power to make sure @marcmolinaro wins tomorrow’s Special Election. https://t.co/eNesKlpvyQ
