Ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo apologized to Jewish New Yorkers for lockdowns he imposed during the COVID-19 outbreak five years ago that banned large gatherings, closed schools and disrupted religious traditions.
The mea culpa comes just hours before the beginning of Yom Kippur, the holiest day on the Jewish calendar when one is meant to atone for sins — and while Cuomo runs as an underdog in his political comeback bid for mayor.
In the video, Cuomo said he made decisions to protect the health and safety of New Yorkers during the once-in-a-century pandemic that killed about 80,000 residents. “However, I recognize some of those decisions caused pain in the Jewish community because we did not always fully consider the sensitivities and traditions that are so deeply important,” Cuomo explained in the clip — which campaign sources said was distributed to rabbis in Orthodox Jewish communities, and first reported by Jacob Kornbluh of the Jewish Forward.

That’s pretty much his whole campaign.
What a sh*t show.
Pandering.
Saying sorry for being a dictator and killing thousands of New Yorker’s! Wait until next time.
Even the commie would be preferable. At least you know which way the commie is going to jump.
Please, how are socialists a firewall against commies? It’s all Marx. What we need is a vaccine against it that works. Don’t need a retread Cuomo.
Of the 4 villians there, who was the first killer to show the way? My money is on the Frank Gorshin impersonator.
Governors should include Lamont (CT), Baker (MA), Murphy (NJ) and Pritzker (IL)
Why apologize to just the Jews? It’s a fact that he was an equal opportunity murderer and tyrant.
But seriously, I bet his campaign advisors told him, these Orthodox Jews, etc. really don't want Mamdani, but they are still angry at you over COVID. They are hoping that by apologizing, they will do the math and say Mamdani is better. Very targetted.
“The only reason anyone would vote for Cuomo is as a firewall against the commie.” Cuomo is a commie too with corruption baggage.
Someone hung a massive sign on the fence of an overpass in Cuomo’s city that read, “Cuomo killed my mother.”
The sign was so large I suspect that person had help - maybe his siblings, uncles etc. helped hang the sign.
I’m sure they will all be comforted to hear Cuomo apologize...for lockdowns.
Well that makes it all okay. I mean he said he is sorry.
“Please, how are socialists a firewall against commies? It’s all Marx. What we need is a vaccine against it that works. Don’t need a retread Cuomo.”
NYC Jewish voters are the key to the election. If they vote for either rat, they will get exactly what they voted for, good and hard.
