Government Corruption

Cuomo says he's 'not going anywhere,' doesn't rule out bid to run against Hochul

2022-03-19

[NYPOST] Andrew Sonny Cuomo

on Thursday would not rule out a bid to oust Gov. Kathy Hochul — telling news hounds he was "not going anywhere" during his second public appearance since resigning in disgrace last summer. Asked after his speech at a Bronx church if he would run against Hochul, the ex-governor delivered a meandering response while leaving the door open on a longshot comeback attempt. He moaned about how he went through "a very difficult year," while noting his brother Chris Cuomo was fired from his job at CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for...
, before saying, "I am more committed to fighting and fighting hard to do the right thing, so government works."

"I am not going anywhere," he added, implying a campaign announcement could be in the offing. "I am going to continue to fight the good fight."

The answer on a potential run for office came after he blasted fellow members of the Democratic Party

...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
for their "radical" positions and charged they perpetuate "cancel culture" at a Bronx church where he spoke the invitation of the controversial ex-councilman Ruben Diaz Sr.

The speech was Cuomo’s latest attempt to spin his decison to step down under threat of impeachment amid several scandals — including his documented sexual harassment of 11 women, misuse of government resources to write his $5 million pandemic memoir and misleading the public about COVID-related deaths in nursing homes — as his being a victim of "cancel culture."

Pressed after his remarks if he will launch a bid to reclaim his old post in a primary challenge of Hochul — Cuomo’s lieutenant governor who took over after he resigned, becoming the state’s first woman governor — Cuomo replied, "I am open to all options."

"Look, I have been through a very difficult year and did a lot of soul-searching. I have been blessed. I have three very beautiful daughters and a very beautiful family. I served as your Governor and I am so proud of the way I did it," he told news hounds.

"I have a lot of options. I am open to all of them," he said before joking, "I am hoping for an offer from the New York Jets. I still think I could play wide receiver.

"I am open to all options and I am going to leave it at that."

#1 He is not going anywhere. Nobody knows where he is. It would make for a game of hide and seek, but everybody would just rather he stay there all alone.
