Cuomo still feeling heat for saying America ‘was never that great’
NY Post ^ | 8/16/18 | Yoav Gonen, Carl Campanile

Democrats on Thursday distanced themselves from Gov. Cuomo’s eye-popping remark that America “was never that great.”

City Council Speaker Corey Johnson called the comment “inartful” and “clumsy.”

“We are a great country and a great city — we could even be greater,” Johnson said in an interview on WNYC radio.

Upstate Democratic Congressman Paul Tonko claimed ignorance.

“I haven’t heard about it,” Tonko told Albany’s WNYT TV.

Al Sharpton came to the governor’s defense. “#nywontgoback – @NYGovCuomo we are not going back to the “good old days” – our people didn’t do well, we fight 4 our rights & fight racism,” he tweeted.

Has pimp Al paid that $4 million in back taxes yet?

Democrats on Thursday distanced themselves from Gov. Cuomo’s eye-popping remark that America “was never that great.”

Cuomo was merely repeating the Obama Regime's basic thesis about America's position in the world.

Kick him to the curb, New York. He is scum!

The WASPs who built this country would point to when they let in Cuomo’s ilk as the day this country stopped being great.

Many “progressives” think that. From comments on social media, you’d think they separate America into two eras: BGM and AGM, i.e., Before Gay Marriage and After Gay Marriage. The United States prior to 2015 was a craphole, it seems.

The WASPs

You mean the #NeverTrumpers? The Deep State? The Political Class?

They suck, too!

LOL! Don't they all? Isn't that one of the qualifications to be a Democrat?

AC is a CK.

Andrew Cuomo is a Closet Kneeler.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Good, I hope that buries him come Nov.

There’s a lot of other reasons, too, like the corruption and mismanagement of nearly everything in the state, but hey, anything helps at this point.

Could be the gaffe of the 2018 midterms. RNC should already be in studio cranking out the ads.

Should also target black and hispanic voters. “More so than at any other time in the history of the nation, the Republican Congress and Trump Admin policy are offering you the dignity of a job and self-sufficiency.”

He wasn’t just repeating what Obama believes. He was repeating what NYC residents by in large believe. If New York needed an enema they would stick the tube in NYC.

His only mistake is saying in public what most, if not all, democrats say in private. Let’s face it, the democrat party is an anti-American, and anti-white party.

The commie dog Cuomo and his kind have been working for generations to bring this country to its knees and now trying to behead it by attempting to take Trump out. This country was good when God made it. It was good when our forefathers formed the government under God. It was good when we changed bad behavior for God’s sake. It will always be good if we operate our business with God as our friend.Amen
