New York GOP gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin was “surprised” when a reporter asked why he chose to talk politics on Sunday following a shooting outside his home.
landed on his doorstep when a reporter questioned why the Republican gubernatorial hopeful would evoke politics.
"Well, first off, we had a number of inquiries from media wanting to speak, and instead of doing individual interviews, with everyone, which has always been what I like to be able to do when you reach out… we thought it would be better to address you all at once," he said. "As far as standing here and talking about politics, I‘m surprised that you or someone else would even look at it that way. I mean, at what point are we supposed to talk about the crime on our own streets? I’m standing in front of crime scene tape in front of my own house," Zeldin said."You can’t get any more outraged than right now. I mean, it’s one thing to spend multiple times over the course of a week where other people are being targeted.
