Cuomo complains ‘cancel culture’ and dirty politics ruined his career in speech at NYC church
NY Post ^ | 03/06/2022 | Sam Raskin

Defiant ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo turned a Brooklyn church appearance into a 25-minute gripe session Sunday in which he again blamed “cancel culture,” the media and “political sharks” for tanking his career.

In his first public appearance since resigning last year, the accused serial sexual harasser whined about his explosive scandal to about 150 congregants at God’s Battalion of Prayer in East Flatbush, calling it “probably the toughest time of my life.”

“As you probably know, I’ve gone through a difficult period the past few months. I resigned as governor, the press roasted me, my colleagues were ridiculed, my brother was fired,” he said. “It was ugly.”

“It was probably the toughest time of my life, and it was probably the first time that I was glad my father wasn’t here with us anymore, so he didn’t have to see,” he added, referring to his late father and former three-term governor of New York, Mario Cuomo.

During his speech, Cuomo groused incessantly about “cancel culture,” using the word “cancel” no fewer than 25 times.

Well it doesn’t say we shouldn’t tax the hell out of churches that get involved in political matters.

Correct. If he we were a candidate for office campaigning in a church or was encouraging the congregants to vote a certain way, the church should lose its tax exemption. (Not that it will ever happen, especially with black churches.) That's a tax code issue rather than a constitutional issue.

Cuomo was a dictator and deserved to go.

His replacement is arguably worse, so there’s that..

This fool is such an arrogant jerk. Nobody cares Andy and NYS is glad to be rid of your ugly face. He still shows no remorse for all the elderly deaths he caused. Sick pervert.

Andrew was Mario’s campaign manager in his first run for NYC Mayor where they debuted Vote for Cuomo not the homo.

He’s been a scumbag his entire life, nothing has changed and it never will.

Oh gee, and no mention of all of the old people who were cancelled under his COVID “leadership”.

And that is exactly why he resigned for the reasons he resigned. They knew they couldn't do the standard deal of Cuomo resigning to avoid prosecution for the nursing home deaths, so they got him to resign for sexual harassment. In exchange, he wouldn't get prosecuted for the nursing home deaths because that would be too much of a scandal for the RATS since it would go nationwide against other RAT governors.

Oh, and they would drop all the sexual harassment charges along the way which they've done. Now, Cuomo just needs to play the part of aggrieved cancel culture victim to ensure the focus stays off the nursing home deaths with the midterms coming up.

The only legitimate thing Cuomo could possibly say to gain acceptance that his resignation was bad was that his successor is arguably a worse governor. But he will never convince anyone it was unwarranted.
