I apologize to the millions of New Yorkers who have been let down by liberal politicians in the state. I apologize to the hard working men and women of the state of New York who have been denied jobs because Governor Cuomo won't allow fracking even though there are high-paying jobs south of Pennsylvania. New Yorkers are denied the ability to provide for their families. I apologize to pro-life and pro-American, pro-second amendment New Yorkers who were told by Governor Cuomo that they have no place in New York because that's not who New Yorkers are.
