The White House expressed disapproval of Governor Kathy Hochul’s remarks regarding black children in the Bronx, although they claimed to not have heard them directly. Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stated that it is not appropriate to speak about young people in such a way. Hochul had made a comment during a presentation suggesting that black children in the Bronx did not know what a computer is, leading to backlash on social media and from other lawmakers. Hochul later apologized for her statement, clarifying that her focus is on providing economic opportunities for all New Yorkers.
