Tweet Taunted NY Gov Cuomo Using Maxine Waters’ Anti-Republican Verbiage, NY Dems Furious
Yeah, Maxine Waters said it about members of the Trump Cabinet in 2018.
New York state legislators blew up at the Twitter account @CuomoWatch for supposedly urging violence against anyone in Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s administration.
Except the account repeated Maxine Waters’ words in 2018 and replaced Trump with Cuomo.
Waters said in 2018:
“If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them, and you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.”
@CuomoWatch tweeted something similar after a report dropped showing that Cuomo’s policies led to more elderly deaths than we previously thought.

Someone finally pointed out what the account did. Let the double-downing commence!

“Verbiage” is NOT synonymous with “wording.”
From Merriam-Webster:
“Verbiage descends from Middle French verbier (‘to chatter’), itself an offspring of ‘werbler,’ an Old French word meaning ‘to trill.’ The usual sense of the word implies an overabundance of possibly unnecessary words. It is similar to ‘wordiness,’ except that it stresses the superfluous words themselves more than the quality that produces them.”
Wow – that was really interesting.
Thanks Karen.
I think that the last sentence of that paragraph you quote is important also:
“This second definition has sometimes been treated as an error by people who insist that “verbiage” must always imply excessiveness, but that sense is well-established and can be considered standard.”
The “second definition” referred to is “manner of expressing oneself in words : DICTION”.
Any comment by Maxine Waters is an over abundance of possibly unnecessary words. Therefore, “verbiage” is appropriate,
Moral myopia. “Good when we do it to you, bad when you do it to us. And you are not worthy to know why!”
Aristocratic attitudes straight out of the dark ages.
Bravo, encore
It’s so sad when people pwn themselves. Boo hoo, I just can’t stop crying.
Can’t say it enough, you can not shame democrats with the “double standard” accusation, they are immune. democrats have many such immunities. The issue for which the twitr was addressing for example. Imagine a world in which PDJT signed an executive order forcing senior citizens with covid into nursing homes, killing many unnecessarily, then criminally conspired to cover up the entire situation. Holy heII would rain down from the democrats gaping maws of outrage, screams of LOCK HIM UP would echo across the democrat world through the end of time. But for a democrat governor what do we hear? Yep, crickets. Again.
This reminds me of the OK-sign hate hoax that originated on 4chan.
That incident and the trolling by CuomoWatch drives home two points:
1. In addition to being evil, our self-anointed moral and intellectual betters are so stupid that they must experience physical pain whenever they try to think.
2. The now have the power of life and death over us.
At any rate, the poor sap who runs CuomoWatch better have a good lawyer (or a way to flee the country). Making our Communist overlords feel bad is a good way to go to jail.
Or commit “suicide”
Let me be the first to say: CuomoWatch did not kill himself.
Senator Diane Savino – re.Maxine Waters. “ that was then and this now, and 4 years of Trump……”!
See, it is Trumps fault!!!
Goes without saying. The ‘Trump made me do it’ defense is going to be a staple of sociopaths for years to come.
What goes around, comes around.
But the hell with annoying Cuomo in a restaurant: he’s commmitted mass-murderer. At BEST, it’s manslaughter or negligent homicide. But THOUSANDS of counts!

It’s become apparent that the “mass murderer” label on Cuomo is sticking and the left has to get rid of him.
Otherwise, Soros’ bitch Leticia James would not be attacking Cuomo.
Aside from the freak who Soros and James are planning to stick in Cuomo’s job, this really is a win-win.
WOW. You have stumbled upon a wholly heretofore unknown phenomenon. Liberal Progressives say vile thing, lie about it and then are outraged when this all comes to light. Selective outrage, who knew.
Now, the real question is, is Cuomo going to be held accountable for his actions? Are any of them?
I thought he had already had himself investigated and vindicated. Funny how that works.
Cuomo may be on thin ice. The AG might have already been identified as a potential future presidential candidate, and may get (or may already have) the green light to go after him hammer and tongs in order to give her some “standing up for the little guy” quality in emulation of DJT. The Dems have done worse.
Cuomo is toast. The “mass murder” label is sticking. He’s become a liability nationally for the left.
Bye, Cuomo.
“As a congressman who lived through the insurrection…”
As a matter of fact, every congress critter lived through the insurrection. I did too, and I wasn’t even there. My escape from death is all the more miraculous.
Yeah that joke of a “survivor” post wasn’t lost on me either. Someone please blast this guy, his life was never in danger. The one person that almost got through a barricade was unceremoniously shot on sight unarmed with a lethal round to center mass.
