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)

Some day New York will have to build a wall to keep people in.
I’ve know several and liked all of them.
They hate NYC too, hee hee hee.
Either I know who you are talking about or I know of another one. lol
Not W. I actually think he was pretty articulate, and without reliance on TeddyPrompter, either. I think yankees love to pretend that a drawl and slow speech means you can’t speak well. If that were true, then every cRapper is Churchill.
No, it’s someone else. ( but this person would also have had a southern drawl, just a different regional one).
My niece has a Penthouse there.People get insulted .Maybe want to move.
Nope, that wasn’t mine either. ;-)
Alright, I’m gonna wonder all night. Just put me out of my misery. PM if you prefer :)
We have to keep our secrets secret. ;^)
What he said could not have been clearer. There is really no other way to understand what he said about conservatives. There is no ambiguity about his being a bigot.
Indeed ;)
Yes, I know. I lived there twice. May move back before too long.
Actually, moving out of NY is the wrong response. People need to move TO NY to outnumber the numbtards and get that state red again. Then Cuomo can say right-wingers aren’t welcome in the McDonalds he works at.
I will say what I mean and then mean what I say. The beedy eyes prevail, son of sfachim lives! God bless you bob grant
Whenever a prog speaks their truth, they immediately backpedal.
Upstate NY’ers are very, very different than NYC’ers. Like in most other states with a big city, except CA, CO and NE states.
Most of America can't discern any difference.
BULLSH!T! You said it you communist MF’er and you meant it!
I think Kurt Russel had it right... wall up NYC and do not let anyone in or out.
LLS
He meant that conservatives shouldn’t leave, just shut up and sit down and pay your taxes.
That’s much better.
