Bill Clinton Endorses Andrew Cuomo For NYC Mayor

[In It to Win It]

Former President Bill Clinton endorsed Andrew Cuomo for mayor of New York City on Sunday, the last day of early voting.

“The election will decide the next mayor of New York, and I urge you to vote for Andrew Cuomo,” Clinton said in a news release. “As President, I chose Andrew to be my Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, and he never let me down—but more importantly, he didn’t let the nation down. He built public housing all across the country, from Chicago to LA, designed and implemented new innovative programs to successfully combat homelessness, and fought discrimination, including against the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) and antisemitism.”

Cuomo worked for the Clinton administration as the housing secretary.

4. Eat him too?

7. Nice. Cuomo will win!!

We need someone who will win, not someone who might win. The best candidate last election didn't win. Adams sure in hell wasn't the best candidate!! I'm tired of backing the best candidate only to lose.

8. Taco says he plans to add NYC to his stomp list along with LA. Cuomo has many faults, but he's a junkyard dog.

I don't live in NYC anymore so I don't have a dog in this fight.

But I have enough friends in the Bronx who are undocumented immigrants that I won't be sad at all if Cuomo wins.

9. Of course he does. n/t

10. Birds of a feather flock together

11. So divisive.

These out of state politicians should stay out of this. Unless they agree with the allegations of his abuses of power?

12. The Clintons do live in NY state, AFAIK-- Chappaqua, NY

though not in NYC.

[tritsofme]

16. Which "out of state" politicians are you referring to?

[JI7]

18. Maybe Sanders who endorsed Mamdani

[Arazi]

14. Sex pests reaffirming their solidarity

Why let sexual assault and harassment charges get in the way of a good makeover?

Or maybe it’s just more of the same: “old” establishment Dems uniting against any young Dem outsiders - can’t have that.

Take your pick.

(Pssst it’s both)

15. What a joke.

[Celerity]

17. Sad, but hardly suprising. It's so dismaying that serial sexual harasser Cuomo's getting big-upped by so many, both here

and by Democratic power players.

It's a giant FU to us women everywhere.

Attorney General (a Democrat) James's five-month investigation concluded with the release of a report on August 3, 2021. This report concluded that during Cuomo's time in office, he sexually harassed 11 women: Boylan, Bennett, Ruch, Liss, Brittany Commisso, Kaitlin, McGrath, event attendee Virginia Limmiatis, an unnamed New York State trooper and two unnamed state entity employees. The investigation concluded that Cuomo's behaviour included unwanted groping, kissing and sexual comments, and also found that Cuomo's office had engaged in illegal retaliation against Boylan for her allegation against him.

20. I saw a poll that showed Cuomo had 58 percent of women support.

[Celerity]

21. That's on them, if true. I refuse to cede the moral high ground on this issue, it is our fundamental human right to not

be sexually harassed and attacked.

22. As someone who lives in NYC, we have very few choices

There are several candidates running, but only two have a realistic chance of winning the primary on Tuesday - Cuomo and Zohran. It's not that I love Cuomo, but Zohran is just too far to the left for most NYers. And if it's between Cuomo, Eric Adams, and Curtis Sliwa in November, it defaults to Cuomo again.
