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.

Andrew Cuomo is a national disgrace. His Father, Mario, the Pius is probably spinning in his grave.
MAGA!!
yep
I’m sure he did...walk it back and make it worse. Thanks.
This is more proof that Liberals cannot be honest because they know they would be rejected.
His Father vetoed the death penalty all 12 years he was in office.
Over 2,00 homicides per year under Mafia Mario, including several of my family members under the “leave no witnesses” to a misdemeanor entality.
His on is corrupt going back to HELP, the NY Post was on the trail and was silenced.
He is an effin com-symp and criminal.
His father was nothing but a dumb dago in an expensive suit.
Having that nincompoop as governor was the start of the slide into oblivion for New York.
He create his own tag line:
Andrew Never-That-Great Cuomo. That one’s gonna stick!
His Dad, Mario Cuomo, was just as bad. I checked Wikiquotes and found no quoted words of praise for America at all. Hatred for our Founding Fathers and love of big government and handouts to the Grand Inquisitor’s obeying children.
Exactly right. New York was a GREAT state when I grew up there. Now nearly every person I know from NY either wants to leave or is glad they did.
He has harbored dreams of becoming president. I think that that dream has just evaporated.
I grew up in Schenectady in the 1950s...it was the town that haulded the world and lit the world
American Locomotive Company and General Electric turbines and motors..
It was the unions that kill them in Schenectady...
plus GE management never cracked down on the unions...
We did a construction job there and had to connect a streamline..there were five guys with one doing the welding and it was on a Sunday..
What a stupid thing to say.
That will NOT play well in the New York that I knew
I think that's Chris, who is even dumber than Andrew and holds down a job at CNN.
Why, men of course! /sarcasm
And Prince Andrew, the heir apparently, has none of the charisma that Mario the King did, and none of the brains. Zip, Zero, Nada.
The country declined because democrats controlled congress for forty years...
And only one good President in sixty years. (Reagan)...Trump might be next..
George Bush Reagans biggest mistake..
These rich leftists. These power mongering political whores that suck off the teet of the average American’s hard work.
Go screw yourself. Leave and go to Somalia and let us know how not great we are.
