As a blue-collar Italian-American kid, son of an FDNY fireman, neither of whose parents was educated beyond high school, I am really ticked off at this.
This “I am Spartacus” moment is a transparent effort to curry favor with the morons that voted for him in the first place, and indicates that he is being driven to distraction by Cynthia Nixon, who has better name recognition, is smarter, has better leftist bona fides (”married” lesbian), and who has better command of the English language than he does.
Andrew was born in Queens, his father was a lawyer, he went to private schools, and grew up in one of the nicest of the Outer Boroughs, where maltreatment of the Italian immigrants were items of minor historical interest and not even close to ongoing ethnic oppression.
If “white privilege” actually existed, Andrew Cuomo would be its poster boy.
Here’s the deal: Andrew’s delusion is that he is going to run for President. Yeah, as if somebody who sounds like he comes from Hunt’s Point will actually win the Democratic nomination, much less a general election.
Like his father, he is an empty suit who will go nowhere.
Excellent analysis.
Yep. But it's the Oppression Olympics nowadays, don'tcha know, and that's his entry. Lame as it is.
As the late Bob Grant would say...what a cafone!
