“I misspoke and I regret it. Of course Black children in the Bronx know what computers are — the problem is that they too often lack access to the technology needed to get on track to high-paying jobs in emerging industries like AI."
Bronx politicians excoriated Gov. Kathy Hochul Monday… with one notable exception…
