People misunderstood New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo when he said conservatives “have no place in the state of New York,” the Democratic governor explained Wednesday.
“I was not saying anyone should leave the state, right? And anyone who heard the comments knows that’s not what I was saying,” Cuomo said when asked about his comments at a press conference. “To the extent people want to have a political dialogue, that’s what it is.”
Cuomo came under fire from conservatives last month when he said “extreme conservatives, who are right-to-life, pro-assault weapon, anti-gay … have no place in the state of New York.”
Conservative talker Sean Hannity even threatened to leave the state over the comments.
“Gov. Cuomo, I’m going to leave and I’m taking all of my money with me – every single solitary penny,” Hannity said on his radio show in January. “And by the way governor, because I work here – there’s a whole bunch of people that work for me and benefit because I do two shows. And I guess maybe some of them will be out of work, governor. I’m sure you’ll take care of them.”(continued)

He will NEVER dig his way out of this. I have the audio and will use it as much as I can this coming election cycle. I cannot wait to kick this guys a$$.
I am very indifferent about New Yorkers (except upstate NY) coming to Texas.
Now, Businesses that want to move away from the insanity in NY, We would love to have you here.
Val/Jar said it: Payback is Hell.
Now is it the ComDem’s turn for some of that?
Cuomo should leave for Cuba, along with the Commie Blasio.
Snicker, its a bit late to back-pedal at this point. He is just learning that he is losing his tax base and won’t have the money to give out freebees to his supporters.
What a despicable weasel. Hard to believe he's actually WORSE than his sh*tbag father.
he has the very same unclean spirit as jarret and that lawless beast in the white house,
you can see it in their eyes, its exactly the same,
Oh, gee, silly me... thinking a Democrat male could be "man enough" for anything!
It’s too bad that Upstate NY can’t send NYC off to become part of N.J.
They both speak Farsi.
Yep, evil unclean spirit.
Cu-homo isn’t the supreme douchbag here. The people who voted him in are.
Yes he is saying this now because everyone IS leaving the USAs first full blown fascist state.
Cuomo speaks Farsi? Is he any better at than he is English?
He looks like a monkey.
The typical liberal CYA.
They say something stupid and then try to claim we’re just not smart enough to understand their brilliance.
The fear is that any New Yorkers who DO come will carry the infection of liberalism with them. Even a little bit of that can spread and turn your state blue in a few years.
I hope Hannity’s not going to be talked into staying. These arrogant buzzards need to be taught a lesson.
