‘WE DEMAND ANSWERS’: Hochul’s Team Had No Idea Hacked New York Post Stories Were Fake

Okay —the stories were very clearly fake.

Two hours after The New York Post announced that it had been hacked and inflammatory stories were being shared on its website and Twitter account, Democratic New York Governor Kathy Hochul and her team got inexplicably mad and demanded answers…even after getting one.

Hochul’s press secretary Jen Goodman posted the following tweet.

“The New York Post has long fostered an ugly, toxic conversation on their front pages and social accounts, but these posts are more disgusting and vile than usual. The New York Post needs to immediately explain how this reprehensible content was made public. While the Post has made its preferences very clear in the New York Governor’s race, there is no room for this violent, sexist rhetoric in our politics. We demand answers.”

Here’s your answer, Ms. Goodman:

The New York Post has been hacked. We are currently investigating the cause.
