So I take it he’s not a fan of Weiner.
(CNN) – On the day of Anthony Weiner’s first official campaign stop, the governor of New York offered a scathing evaluation of the disgraced former congressman’s bid for mayor.
“Shame on us” if New Yorkers elect Weiner to City Hall, Gov. Andrew Cuomo told the editorial board of the Syracuse Post-Standard.
Previously, Cuomo had been tight-lipped about Weiner’s run for mayor, which was made official on Wednesday. Asked in April for his thoughts on the race, the Democrat only offered a “no comment.”
Cuomo’s remarks were published the day Weiner made his first official stop on the campaign trail, chatting up voters in Harlem at a subway station. Speaking to reporters afterwards, Weiner said many New Yorkers have told him they’re ready to offer redemption on Election Day.
