Yesterday, we wrote that the legacy governor of New York State, Andrew Cuomo, said in an interview that there’s no room in New York for conservatives. According to The Blaze<\/a>, Cuomo’s office called and said that his quote was distorted, that he was only trying to discourage conservative candidates from entering any political races in the State. So here’s his quote, you decide;<\/p>\n

The gridlock is Washington is less about democrats and republicans. It is more about extreme republicans versus moderate republicans. And a moderate republican in Washington can\u2019t figure out how to deal with the extreme republicans. And the moderate republicans are affair of the extreme conservative republicans in Washington in my opinion.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve seen that play out in New York, their SAFE act, the Republican Party candidates are running against the SAFE Act. It was voted for by moderate republicans who run the Senate. Their problem is not me and democrats, their problem is themselves. Who are they? Are they these extreme conservatives, who are right to life, pro assault weapon, anti-gay, is that who they are? Because if that is who they are, and if they are the extreme conservatives, they have no place in the state of New York. Because that is not who New Yorkers are.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m pretty sure that’s what we said. My interpretation of that quote is; conservative Republicans have no legitimate expectation of a voice in the State’s government. If you can’t expect a candidate that reflects your own opinion on issues, you don’t belong in new York State. It’s not like these conservatives are pulling their pro-gun, anti-abortion platforms out of thin air – they’re issues that are important to people, and people have a reasonable expectation of those issues being represented in Albany. If the legacy governor doesn’t like that there are conservatives in that state, he should leave.<\/p>\n

However, the New York Times<\/a> reports that despite the fact that most Upstate New Yorkers oppose Cuomo, 57% of New Yorkers say that they’d vote for him again;<\/p>\n

The poll asked the opinions of some 800 registered voters in the state, and a solid two-thirds said they viewed the governor favorably; 54 percent gave him a positive assessment of his job performance, and a solid majority \u2014 57 percent \u2014 said they were ready to re-elect him.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So there you go, New Yorkers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
