Andrew Cuomo said Saturday night that the “explosion” had nothing to do with what he called “overseas terror”.

Is that disqualifying?

Gov. Cuomo gave a straight up interview this morning, on Fox 'n' Fiends (typo intentional). Called it terrorism, and said that based on the ID of the suspect, was international terrorism.

I don't fault any politician for limiting their remarks so as to avoid personal speculation. He didn't appear to be holding back information. he held back the name in deference to the FBI, who was trying to apprehend. That's a good reason.

Why does it matter if there is an overseas connection? It’s common knowledge that all of the overseas radical Islamic terror groups have sympathizers here. They don’t issue membership cards.

I guess the only reason it’s important is if it can be traced to state sponsored groups in which case we can send them even more money and resettle even more of their citizens here. /s
