“Mr. Cuomo lies again and again and again.” “He literally has never had a job. On his resume it says he interned for his mother.” “You [Cuomo] lost your own primary, right?

Let’s deal with the reality.” “Jews don’t trust that you are going to be there for them when they are victims of antisemitic attacks.” “There was a report that was done that had allegations of harassment. I said at the time it was a political report, and that there was no basis to it. It was then sent to five district attorneys. They all reviewed it. They found nothing.” “You can be tough, but you can’t be tough if it’s going to cost people desperately needed federal funds.”
