Problem for Cuomo was that he got so comfy with his lefty buddies interviewing him on NPR radio that he made a classic Freudian slip. And someone who's not a fan of his recorded it for all to hear. So to claim that his words were "distorted" makes no sense at all.
He said out loud what he and other 'Rats had been thinking for years, at the wrong time and place, as it turned out.
Cuomo failed to pass his bar exam FIVE times, so what can we expect from this not-so-bright politician.
