The Democrat told reporters on Friday that he believes America “has always been great.”
He said he was trying to criticize Republican President Donald Trump’s slogan “Make America Great Again” when he made the widely criticized comment at a Manhattan bill signing Wednesday.
The remark prompted Trump to tweet that Cuomo was having a “total meltdown.”
Cuomo is running for a third-term this fall and is considered a possible White House contender in 2020.
On Friday he said he has no plans to run for president though he said he will continue to criticize Trump, who is scheduled to attend a Long Island fundraiser later Friday.
Especially with “bleeding hearts”like him running things !!!
What a yutz.
Nice try backtracking….but your original remarks reflect what you and the rest of the traitorous Democrat party now stands for…feh.
Stupid loser dem-O-rat typical obumer type.
give him a break. he says one inane thing, and you all go beserk. but trump can say and do anything, right? hypocrites !
Poor guy. I’m sure he thinks it’s way infair that Michelle Obama said essentially the same thing but got away with it.
Of course America is not great because Cuomo is onlyyy A Governor.
