Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-N.Y.) and actress Cynthia Nixon traded personal barbs Wednesday night during a tense gubernatorial primary debate.
Arguments erupted over the degree to which each candidate has opposed President Trump, New York City's subway system, health care and corruption during the 60-minute debate .
Cuomo is the heavy favorite to win a third term in the Sept. 13 primary against political newcomer Nixon, who trails Cuomo in every public poll, according to The Washington Post.
The debate became heated following a question about New York's MTA (Metropolitan Transportation Authority), which Nixon said Cuomo had left underfunded.
Cuomo was responding to Nixon's claim that he "used the MTA like an ATM," when Nixon cut in.
“Can you stop interrupting?” Cuomo asked.
“Can you stop lying?” Nixon responded.
“Yeah, as soon as you do,” Cuomo said.
Cuomo also attempted to portray himself as an example to Democrats of strong opposition to Trump.
“No one has stood up to Donald Trump the way I have,” he said.
Nixon disagreed, responding, “You stood up to him about as well as he stood up to Putin.”
A Siena College poll released in late July found Cuomo with a 60 to 29 percent edge over Nixon among likely Democratic voters. He has maintained a steady lead in polls ahead of the September primary.
It turns out the two were sparring over who hates Trump more.
With the problems with Chris Collens dropping out New Yorkers are screwed.
Nixon’s the one!
They voted for this crap, same as Californians. Piss on them.
I enjoy watching two lesbians spar.
Did she blow him first or did he blow her first?
Nixon, lol, headline through me for a loop.
No American royalty. No more Kennedys Cuomos Clintons Bushes or... um... Nixons!
Who hates Trump more, and who can knock America the most.
“They voted for this crap, same as Californians. Piss on them.”
That pretty much sums up my attitude towards all liberal jurisdictions.
They both have something in common: They were never that great.
The one that was known for “that” on sex and the city?
There is some doubt that Nixon is a real woman.
If Cuomo really wants to help women, he should do just that.
“Did she blow him first or did he blow her first?”
I read here recently that “vagina” is now considered a racist, sexist term, being replaced by “front hole!”
So I guess you can say here we had a “front hole” going after a “back hole.” From my perspective though, they are both simply a$$holes, arguing about where their particular “hole” is located!
#5. Were they playing “Blowing in the Wind” in the background of their cat fight?
What sucks is the people have these options in New York.
Unfortunately Update NY didn’t and won’t vote for neither,
but it lacks the population to overcome the cesspool of NYC
I don’t think debates win elections anymore. They are still important but not overwhelmingly so. Just don’t say anything stupid.
