New York Governor Kathy Hochul called Elon Musk's DOGE a "Clueless cadre of career killers" (Fox News Digital)
She said that many of the fired federal workers "found the whole experience degrading [and] dehumanizing" and accused Musk and President Donald Trump of not caring for the needs of Americans or the services that she said will be impacted by DOGE firings.
"They call themselves putting America First. Give me a break," she said. "They know nothing about the functions of government. They don't know who it serves, and they don't care about the tireless public servants who keep it all running."
"None of this seems to matter to Donald Trump and Elon Musk, not at all. For them, it’s just fodder for this cheap second-rate reality show. ‘You're fired,’ it's fun for them to say it," she said.
Addressing former federal workers directly, Hochul said: "The current regime in Washington may not recognize your talents, but I can assure you New York State does. We don't vilify public servants. We value you. We cherish your contribution, and we do want to welcome you to the New York family."

"So, in the meantime, the states have to step up," she went on. "This is what we can do. We'll see them in court, but also, let's take care of these people. Let's not have them worry about their healthcare, whether or not their child's going to get medical treatment for their own families."

In response, White House spokesperson Harrison Fields told Fox News Digital: "No amount of Democrat obstruction will stop President Trump from delivering on the promises he made to the American people."
"Radical, out-of-touch Democrats should clean up the disasters they’ve created in their own states before trying to promote their failed policies to the rest of America," said Fields.
