De Blasio: ‘Shakespearean’ Cuomo Demanded I Fire Aide Who Is One of His Accusers

Mayor Bill de Blasio on Wednesday accused Gov. Andrew Cuomo of once demanding that he fire a spokeswoman — who later went public with a sexual harassment allegation against the governor.

During an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” de Blasio said the incident involved a “critical statement” the aide made that set off Cuomo, who the mayor likened to a “Shakespearean” villain.

“He demanded I fire her as a way of showing that she was wrong,” de Blasio said of his longtime rival. The mayor added: “And I think this is part of the tragic, kind of, Shakespearean reality here — power corrupted this guy more and more each year.”

This week is like Christmas, birthday, and everything else rolled into one for De Blasio.

The amount these two men hate each other is stunning.

Worst case scenario is that we are rid of only one of these creeps. With any luck they’ll take each other down in a blaze of glory.

I’d prefer a blaze of ignominy, but I’ll take what I can get.

He didn't. He did porn.

This reminds me of John Edwards, the “Silky Pony” as Rush called him.

For some reason, the Controllers of the Democrats have decided Cuomo must go, and must go due to his “woman problem” rather than his “senior mass murder problem.”

He beat this rap the first time it came up by just waiting until if faded away. No one tried to press charges. But now the report comes out, and the pressure is on big time, many Dems suddenly acting in concert. Dershowitz say the cases are weak.
