AOC warns Cuomo will use NYC mayoral win as stepping stone to presidency as lefty rep stumps for Zohran Mamdani: ‘Unconscionable’

Lefty New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warns that if former Gov. Andrew Cuomo wins the city’s mayoral race, he will use it as a stepping stone for a presidential bid.

“This is not just about New York City, but this is about the United States,” the far-left Dem told an enthusiastic crowd she stumped for fellow socialist and mayoral wannabe Zohran Mamdani at Terminal 5 in Manhattan on Saturday.

“I mean that literally, because Andrew Cuomo has made clear that if he wins this race, he wants to run for president of the United States of America,” AOC said.

Ocasio-Cortez, 35, an acolyte of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), 83, also fussed about Cuomo’s age and suggested that the 67-year-old is standing in the way of a new generation of leadership — after she became one of the first prominent Dems to support the re-election bid of memory-addled 82-year-old then-President Joe Biden last summer.

“In a world and a nation that is crying to end the gerontocracy of our leadership that wants a new day, that wants to see a new generation ascend, it is unconscionable to send Andrew Cuomo to Gracie Mansion once again,” the city congresswoman said.

Cuomo has never actually held Gracie Mansion before, as he was never mayor of the Big Apple, though he did serve as governor of the Empire State from 2011 to 2021.

“I have no idea where the far left got this silly new talking point, but the governor has said that — death aside — he’ll be finishing his own term,” Cuomo spokesperson Rich Azzopardi told The Post.

The socialist bartender is back to making predictions again. Killer Cuomo is the best they have.

About as likely as the defendant of Hernando Cortez becoming president.

Iron law of American politics, 2025,
Shun & work to defeat any candidates:
1. with three names,
2. with a Z in their name,
3. with a name that ends in O or A.

I suppose this Greta Thunberg of Congress is thinking of herself when she disparages Cuomo (not that I am any fan of his) with these words: “is standing in the way of a new generation of leadership”. Well, she sure ain’t no leader. And it’s a bit scary that she thinks she is.
