Kathryn Garcia says Yang is ‘lovely guy’ but doesn’t understand government

Mayoral hopeful Kathryn Garcia fired back at rival Andrew Yang on Wednesday morning after he blamed her for the Big Apple’s filthy streets, ripping him as clueless about city government.

“Andrew is a lovely guy, but this is a hard job, and requires you to really understand how government works, how labor unions work, how the budget works,” Garcia said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” ahead of the first in-person debate of the race tonight. “You don’t want anyone looking for the light switch.” Garcia — whom Yang recently blamed for often-trashy city streets — defended her record as sanitation commissioner under Mayor Bill de Blasio.
