The state of New York has had several prominent governors over the last several decades.
Not every politician who has held the distinguished position has left with a respectable legacy, though.
Pataki served New York amid the 9/11 terrorist attacks and is remembered for uniting the state under devastating circumstances.
Now, however, he is commenting on the state of the country and his commentary has Twitter talking.
“I fear the consequences of the open border that we can have another attack,” Pataki said.
“They’re not all coming for work.
We know there are terrorists.
We know there are people on the watch lists.
We know there are people who’ve been smuggled across with one goal to attack America.”
Amid Pataki’s grave estimations, Twitter was quick to clap back.
“Ummm, George?
The 9/11 terrorists were here under legal visas.
