Cuomo blames junior staffer for posting the quickly deleted AI "Criminals for Mamdani" ad, but you can still watch it here

The Cuomo campaign threw up an AI generated political ad attacking his political opponent Zohran Mamdani,

And it's both hilarious and frightening.

Take a look:

VIDEO AT LINK.................

https://x.com/prem_thakker/status/1981150231174746370

According to the New York Post, the usual motley crew of leftists showed up to scream "racism," despite the fact that the video is mostly a mix of The Sopranos and inebriated Golden Girls.

Of course, the campaign quickly kowtowed to the vitriol and pulled the video.

Cuomo spokesperson Rich Azzopardi denied the video was an ad in a statement swiping back at the attacks.

โ€˜The video was a draft proposal that was neither finished nor approved, did not go through the normal legal process, and was inadvertently posted by a junior staffer โ€” which is why it was taken down five minutes later,' he said.

But the real question is: was the video accurate? While Mamdani has been pretty coy when talking about his "community policing plans," he did apparently sign on to the Democrat Socialists' "Agenda for Decarceration" in 2020, which includes the following:

The full elimination of cash bail, taking the state's disastrous bail reform even further.

Outright decriminalization of drug possession and prostitution.

Eliminating mandatory minimum sentences.

Retroactively lowering all maximum sentences.

Fighting construction of the borough-based jails meant to replace the soon-to-be-closed Rikers Island, as a means of reducing the prison population by a third.

It sure sounds like the junior staffer hit the nail on the head in their video.

Maybe it's time to make him a senior staffer?

Dov Hikind, one of Curtis Sliwaโ€™s biggest supporters, changes mayor pick to Andrew Cuomo

Americans Against Antisemitism founder Dov Hikind โ€“ who formerly represented the heavily orthodox Borough Park and Midwood as a state Assemblyman from 1983 to 2018 โ€“ said he flipped because Cuomo offered a better chance at stopping Mamdani, the Democratic nominee.

โ€œI have nothing but good things to say about Curtis. But at the end of the day itโ€™s very clear that Curtis canโ€™t win,โ€ Hikind

I don’t know why the video was “taken down.”

I can’t say that New Yorkers deserve to get what they voted for because the implications are likely to be national. New York is a natural deep-water port. It’s a US natural resource. I suppose it could be federalized if need be. Expect resistance at state and city level.

Historically, everything else stems from the port. A great place for warehouses, banks, etc.

What damage can Mamdani do to Wall street, much of the US financial system? I hope not much.

What if we get street violence, Molotov cocktails, etc.? I think financial institutions should have back-up servers someplace else in the country, if they don’t already. It’s not too soon to develop a contingency plan to move people. What would be a good destination?

“Outright decriminalization of drug possession and prostitution”

Odd that a supposed avowed Muslim would advocate either.

Those are serious crimes in all Islamic states.

Gee, maybe he’s a liar just saying what he thinks the dissolute Noo Yawkahs want to hear so he can get elected?

Nothing’s changed with Cuomo. He’s like Hitler. He blames everyone else for his corruption, incompetency and mistakes.
