I am NOT ranking Cuomo at all on my primary ballot. That being said, this story is from 2019, and the context was he was carefully quoting an article in a critical manner. Lots of reasons to be against Cuomo, but this ain’t it. The sexual harassment, arrogance, coverup of mistakes.
Both Andrew & Chris Cuomo are blatant degenerates. Covid Chris is so full of shit he stinks up the set on Faux News Nation every time he opens his mouth. Meanwhile brother Andrew is a two bit phony who doesn’t know when to let go and just disappear.
"I stand and fight for everyone" - really? What about the woman that work for you, do you respect them? What about your own training in dei, are you going to take that seriously? Cuomo the bolo.
I was referring to the churches as political institutions not making generalizations about black people, but I could have been clearer. My bad. I know plenty of people of all races rightfully oppose Cuomo.
I want the names of every Democratic Party apparatchik who was involved in trying to bring this piece of shit back. That party needs to do some *serious* purging.
Can we please primary this DINO. He’s just another bigot in it for himself like Trump. He does not hold American or Democratic Party values of any kind.
Corrupt city machine, rich white liberals who want republican policies to keep the poor and minorities in line, complicit media, and the national party does nothing to help in any way.
He never was a good guy but he wore fake skin for a long time to keep power. Now it’s off so we have the bully sending bell whistles to ethnic whites in the outer boros,playing victim to “those feminists”for just being a guy’s guy,counting on amnesia/rep and cozying up to the DC Don. Don’t rank him.
Cuomo did 2 things for western New York. He legalized marijuana on 4/1/20 with an executive order and he saved the Bills from leaving Buffalo by resigning. For this I will be eternally grateful. Outside of that he is a real douche.
What a POS just like his brother. NY is full of smart, hard working people, and this and Adams are the best they’ve got for Mayor?! Why continue to recycle these dinosaurs. New York City deserves better.
like what else is there to say. look if you're a cuomo supporter or not, this kind of context matters shit is ridiculous. it's like having your dick out. it's a total unforced error a campaigning politician shouldn't be making. pick one: dumb or racist
While I understand the emotions attached to it, I disagree. Quoting someone who used it, for instance. But I think such usage should be avoided wherever it can be adequately avoided by using "the n-word", which doesn't really negate the effect, since we all do the translation in our heads.
I think you're misunderstanding me and my comment. I don't use that word and I don't associate with people who do. The concept of context might be where we're not connecting.
I mean, it didn’t do him in when he did it. Frankly, although I remember it now that it’s been brought up, he managed to completely skate on it at the time, and then it was memory holed by all the other shitty things he did as governor.
Guys like this expose the complete moral bankruptcy at the core of the Democratic party. Republicans don't deserve to be in power, but Democrats definitely don't either.
I hate Cuomo for a lot of reasons but this really shouldn't be one of them.
He is quoting someone else, apologizes for the language before saying it, and it really is necessary in the context of informing listeners about the specific racist slur used that has the n-word as a component.
I’m an environmentalist and favor recycling but recycling this toad and giving him such a place of prominence in the Democratic Party would be shameful.
oh the outrage when a white man says it but black folks using it like the spacebar on a computer is fine....hypocrisy at its finest...its a horrid word that nobody should say....
Good object lesson on sometimes you simply don't say something when you're in the public eye: GWB intentionally flubbed the "you can't get fooled again" bit because he realized mid-sentence he was about to give THE footage for every single attack ad in 2004 if he finished the actual line.
It is always disheartening to see how many people seem to really want their politicians to be pieces of shit because they confuse that with strength or toughness.
An aggressively snarky politician is fun when you agree with their aims, but when you don't they just look like goddamned monsters.
It was fun when Fetterman shitposted into Senate because he was dunking on conservatives, but then he put on a Israeli flag as a cape to mock protesters.
He’s very much a centrist, not a friend of labor (despite his proclamation). Also is supporting removing migrants from being covered by health insurance
Lots of things going on here in MN - he’s making unilateral decisions that are not at all popular with the left. He commanded state employees who are WFH to return to the office without discussing with unions (many issues with this dictate)
It's amazing how many of those come from New York. Cuomo, Adams, Schumer, Gillibrand...Hell, even Hillary Clinton was a Senator from New York. All ranging from "godawful" to "just plain useless".
If you thought about it for just a couple more seconds, you might have remembered that New York is the biggest city in the country and thus would produce a lot of shitty people simply because there are *a lot* of people there.
5 shitty people out of millions? You'll find the same ratio everywhere.
Sociopaths gonna (socio)path their way to power, no matter the local population size.
On top of that is the fact that having power over a large number of people is very alluring to the shittiest people, and they will do and say whatever is necessary to acquire and keep it.

i think that scene is one of his best
I keep going away and coming back but it's still there.
Nope
on the other, I kinda respect aiming a glock directly at a photographer during a press conference.
He quoted a phrase that was used, he wasn't calling someone it.
BIG difference.
He could’ve gotten the meaning across without using it! Unless he was already very comfortable using the word…

Now the media is *shrug*
Not silent soon enough, apparently!
Please quit, and stay quit.

It's still sometimes used, but really rarely. I got called w-- a whole once in my entire life and had to go ask my mom what it meant.

The context does not make what he said any better!

(little known here meaning "size of the field of bioethics, generally")

That’s a fact
