Lessons
for Shove Guv Andrew Cuomo

Not
so fast, Andrew Cuomo. We see what you did there. After publicly
bashing conservative New Yorkers as "extreme" people who
have no place in his state, the intolerant Democratic governor wants
to blame the media for his unmistakable contempt for those who oppose
abortion, support gun rights and defend traditional marriage.
Newsflash:
Crapweasel politicians can backtrack and scapegoat, but they can't
hide.
When
he railed against socially conservative Republican candidates in a
radio interview last week, Cuomo hyperbolically singled out those he
called "right-to-life, pro-assault-weapon, anti-gay"
citizens. Sounding unapologetically purge-tastic, the governor said
these political opponents "have no place in the state of New
York, because that's not who New Yorkers are." His bigoted
comments provoked a fierce social-media-driven backlash led by devout
Catholics and Second Amendment activists in the Empire State. And
now, he's got job-creating, tax-paying conservative business people
threatening to leave. Heckuva job, Andy!
In a
desperate damage control attempt, Cuomo issued a statement claiming
that the New York Post "distorted" his words. It's always
the messenger's fault. The Shove Guv also accused his critics of
being "entirely reckless with facts and the truth." Really?
There was no equivocation in Cuomo's political eviction wish. Whether
he was talking about conservative candidates and/or the voters and
donors who support them, you can't get any clearer than "have no
place in the state of New York."
Translation:
You don't belong. Pack your bags. Don't let the door hit ya on the
way out. Scram.
All
of his lefty friends on MSNBC and at Soros Central may be cheering
Cuomo on, but this marginalization strategy is bound to backfire.
Here in Colorado, supposedly moderate Democratic Gov. John
Hickenlooper threw in with the radical gun-control crowd and is now
paying the price. Major businesses have left the state. Two leading
state Democratic legislators were recalled last fall by grassroots
campaigns outspent 8-to-1 by gun-control forces underwritten by New
York Nanny Stater Michael Bloomberg and Bill Gates.
Reminder:
It wasn't just "extreme conservatives" who revolted. Pueblo
Democrat Angela Giron lost in her Obama-loving Democratic Senate
District 3 by a whopping 12 points.
Another
state Democrat and staunch gun-control extremist, Evie Hudak,
resigned in disgrace last November rather than face the wrath of the
independent recallers. Once a hot 2016 Democratic presidential
prospect, Hickenlooper's approval ratings have plunged...
