Andrew Cuomo’s Mayoral Comeback Bid Sparks Outrage
Over 15,000 seniors dead in nursing homes. Livelihoods destroyed. Families broken. Businesses ruined. Communities devastated. Dreams crushed—all because of your reckless, selfish, and heartless decisions.
Andrew Cuomo is running for mayor of New York City—a political resurrection that many aren’t ready to forgive. His campaign announced in a video posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, touting his record as governor.
Watch the announcement here:
Our city is in crisis. That’s why I am running to be Mayor of New York City. We need government to work. We need effective leadership. https://t.co/a0vVYRF4iP pic.twitter.com/JIrhD1Edqs

The disgraced former governor, who resigned in 2021 after a state investigation found he sexually harassed 11 women, is now positioning himself as the leader who can pull the city out of chaos following Mayor Eric Adams’ federal bribery indictment. But his return to the political arena has ignited a firestorm of criticism, as New Yorkers and political observers alike question whether Cuomo’s past—marked by scandal, mismanagement, and a toxic culture of intimidation and narcissism—makes him fit to lead again.
Critics quickly weighed in:
Nope.
New Yorkers do NOT need a narcissistic, petty man who tried to convince us his toxically abusive management style was “competence” while making PLENTY of decisions that actively hurt the city to this day.
Miss me with that nonsense. https://t.co/UZci2UV3GS

Cuomo’s campaign appears to be leaning into his so-called crisis management skills, emphasizing his role in infrastructure projects and his steady hand during the early days of COVID-19. What he doesn’t mention? The nursing home deaths his administration deliberately underreported, the toxic workplace environment that drove staffers away, and the political maneuvering that kept him insulated from accountability for years.
One of Cuomo’s former accusers, the source for the Guardian article, didn’t hold back:
Great, get ready to give your bloody money back for your dad’s Covid book. https://t.co/VqhApRTJTh

His critics wasted no time in responding. Just hours after his announcement, the group Voice for Seniors released a blistering memo detailing Cuomo’s mishandling of the pandemic, his abuse of power, and his administration’s repeated efforts to bury inconvenient facts.
“Over 15,000 seniors dead in nursing homes. Livelihoods destroyed. Families broken. Businesses ruined. Communities devastated. Dreams crushed—all because of your reckless, selfish, and heartless decisions. You put your own agenda and ambitions above the lives of those you were sworn to protect,” the scathing letter read.
For now, Cuomo is betting that time—and the scandals of others (see: Eric Adams)—have softened the public’s memory of his downfall. Unfortunately, more than a few will likely welcome him back.

If they elect him, then they deserve whatever they get, and hard. I think little of New Yorkers; I hope they don’t lower themselves even more in my estimation.
God help them.
I know several who *don’t* fit the stereotype – loud, brash, obnoxious, pushy, rude. As for those who do, I can’t agree more.

The worst NYers, i.e., the elite of NYC, are (and for the last five + decades been) dregs from other states who came to NY to prove themselves. This includes both the business elite and politicians (e.g., RFK, clintons, …). More recently, as has happened across the country it is the “downtrodden” from third-world and EU countries who come to obtain the government positions they could not enter in their countries of origin.
Last, it is well documented that in NYC/NYS there likely has not been an actual free and fair election since prior to Tammany Hall (perhaps even the early 1800s(?)).
[Really, no different than any other state which today or in the past enjoyed a strong economy. … To think otherwise is delusional.]
I bet he wins. That is how much the average person pays attention
“Over 15,000 seniors dead in nursing homes. Livelihoods destroyed. Families broken. Businesses ruined. Communities devastated. Dreams crushed… and I’m STILL better than the current yutzes.”
Helluva campaign ad. I’m not saying it’s even wrong, just that he benefits from a bar so low it’s subterranean.
Sexual harassment is a lame rap.
Yes, but sick elderly being sent back to nursing homes isn’t.
1. The wokiesta leftist fetish with radical feminist demanded that society must ‘believe all women’. When it began being used v prominent leftists it ironically put an abrupt end to that outside of the holdout Lilith Fair devotees who are still organizing for Kamala.
2. If he did do it he’s an abusive ahole. You don’t fish where you work and never with subordinates. He choose to resign over the allegations of 11 different Women. Innocent until proven guilty but that’s lot of smoke and demonstrates bad judgement and lack of impulse control at minimum.
Campaign slogan: “I am the pierced n!pples you’ve been waiting for.”
I would pay my own airfare to the black site, and donate my own blood, to keep him alive a long, long time.
Anthony Weiner should run against him. We could sell tickets and make a fortune.
Marion Berry ver 2.0
Her name was Francine.
She died along in a Suffolk County nursing home.
SAY HER NAME YOU BASTARD.
I do not live in NY or NYC but it was clear that with how he ran the state during COVID that he should be doing nothing other than looking at a jail cell. Nobody in NY should vote for this person but they are plenty stupid.
There is no shortage of stupid voters. Whitmer and Newsom are still employed.
If not Cuomo, then who? NYC, Chicago, LA, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis, all these sophisticated, wealthy, leftist cities seem to be on the same path to nowhere. Maybe Bloomberg could get elected once again.
Giuliani.
