Andrew Cuomo shocks crowd, says America 'was never that great'
Fox News ^ | August 15,2018 | By Adam Shaw

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo may have just handed Republicans a ready-made campaign ad for his rumored 2020 presidential bid – by declaring Wednesday that America “was never that great.”

The Democratic star made the seemingly offhand remark as part of his rebuke of President Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan during a bill-signing in New York. But the line drew gasps from the crowd.

“We’re not going to make America great again. It was never that great,” Cuomo said, to an awkward blend of gasps and chuckles.

“We have not reached greatness, we will reach greatness when every American is fully engaged, we will reach greatness when discrimination and stereotyping against women, 51 percent of our population, is gone and every woman’s full potential is realized and unleashed and every woman is making her full contribution,” he said.

But the "never that great" line tore through social media in a New York minute, as journalists and his political rivals seized on the remark.

If the New York Republican party was actually capable of mounting a statewide campaign we wouldn’t have to wait until 2020 to take him out with this.

Well if he feels that way he is free to leave at any time. See that is what is wonderful about America, you can LEAVE if you hate this country that much..oh and Andrew, please don’t forget to leave behind the MILLIONS you have made off of this country that you apparently hate so much

So then, per liberal criteria, America was never great, and will never be great, as long as any liberal dream is still unfulfilled.

This election is going to come down to a contest between those who identify with the American heritage and those who hate it.

I love the fact that the Rats are finally being honest.
I’ve waited decades for this.

They were always smart enough to keep the mask on while running. They are finally showing us their true selves.
