<p>New York Democratic Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kathy-hochul" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kathy Hochul</a> is facing blowback after saying that black children in the Bronx do not know what the word &#8220;computer&#8221; means.</p>
<p>The borough in New York City came up Monday at the Milken Institute Global Conference in California during a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbT0iyO1iaA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">conversation</a> with Jonathan Capehart, a black MSNBC host who was serving as a moderator, that has since gone viral online.</p>
<p>&#8220;Right now we have, you know, young black kids growing up in the Bronx who don’t even know what the word &#8216;computer&#8217; is,&#8221; Hochul said. &#8220;They don’t know, they don’t know these things. And I want the world opened up to all of them.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D): “Young Black kids growing up in the Bronx who don’t even know what the word ‘computer’ is…” 🤨<a href="https://t.co/9x9nU05YDQ">pic.twitter.com/9x9nU05YDQ</a></p>

<p>Hochul&#8217;s remarks about black children in the Bronx drew pushback from fellow politicians, including members of the Democratic Party from the Bronx, and others.</p>
<p>Bronx Assembly Member Amanda Septimo, a Democrat, issued a <a href="https://twitter.com/AmandaSeptimo/status/1787584438668263793" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> that said the comments were &#8220;harmful, deeply misinformed, and genuinely appalling.&#8221;</p>
<p>She added, &#8220;Repeating harmful stereotypes about one of our most underserved communities, while failing to acknowledge the state’s consistent institutional neglect, only perpetuates systems of abuse.&#8221;</p>
<p>Her colleague in the State Assembly, <a href="https://nyassembly.gov/mem/Karines-Reyes/bio/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">longtime Bronxite</a> Karine Reyes, said she was &#8220;deeply disturbed&#8221; by Hochul&#8217;s remarks and the &#8220;underlying perception that she has&#8221; of black and brown children from the borough.</p>
<p>&#8220;Our children are bright, brilliant, extremely capable, and more than deserving of any opportunities that are extended to other kids,&#8221; Reyes continued. &#8220;Do better.&#8221;</p>
<p>Lee Zeldin, a former GOP congressman from New York who ran against Hochul in the 2022 election, <a href="https://twitter.com/Riley_Gaines_/status/1787859606225453334" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reposted</a> a reaction from former collegiate swimmer Riley Gaines.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s remarkable just how out of touch the people supposedly leading this country are,&#8221; Gaines said in her post to X, responding to a clip of Hochul&#8217;s remarks.</p>

<p>&#8220;Democrats exposing their racism again… Play this video in every predominantly black neighborhood until November,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1787715029703512132" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> the Libs of TikTok account run by Chaya Raichik.</p>
<p>&#8220;Why do white liberals think so little of African-Americans?&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/tedcruz/status/1787862042889609617" target="_blank" rel="noopener">asked</a> Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX).</p>
<p>Charles Payne, a black Fox Business host, <a href="https://twitter.com/cvpayne/status/1787777922469679408" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on X, &#8220;Insulting but typical.&#8221;</p>
<p>Hochul later released a <a href="https://twitter.com/VaughnEGolden/status/1787636911856652296" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> expressing remorse for the comments, claiming she did not mean to make them.</p>
<p>&#8220;I misspoke and I regret it,&#8221; she said. &#8220;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.&#8221;</p>
