'THIS IS NOT JUSTICE': Hochul, Cuomo, other lawmakers past and present react to Rittenhouse verdict

NEW YORK (WCBS 880) -- In the wake of Kyle Rittenhouse's not guilty verdict, reaction online has been fast and furious.

And that includes current and former Tri-State area elected officials, whose reactions largely depend on what side of the aisle they're on.

Here's what the biggest names are saying:

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul:

New York Attorney General, 2022 NY gubernatorial candidate Letitia James:

Ex-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo

Today's verdict is a stain on the soul of America, & sends a dangerous message about who & what values our justice system was designed to protect

We must stand unified in rejecting supremacist vigilantism & with one voice say: this is not who we are https://t.co/VOs66OZ2RJ

Today's verdict is a failure of justice.

That two people can be senselessly murdered without accountability or repercussions is the latest proof that our legal system aids and abets extremism.

This is a shameful day for our nation. https://t.co/7MpXiwz1Kj
