ZitatNew York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) said at an event on Wednesday that America "was never that great," drawing groans and boos from the crowd.
Cuomo made the comments in reference to President Trump's popular "make America great again" slogan.
"We're not gonna make America great again," Cuomo said at the event, where he signed anti sex-trafficking bills into law. "It was never that great."
"We have not reached greatness," he continued. "We will reach greatness when every American is fully engaged."
"We will reach greatness when discrimination and stereotyping against women, 51 percent of our population, is gone," he said. "And every woman's full potential is realized and unleashed and every woman is making her full contribution.
ZitatNew York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) reversed remarks he made earlier this week about American greatness, calling his language "inartful."
Cuomo told reporters on a conference call Friday that he believes the country "has always been great," the Democrat and Chronicle reported.
"The expression I used the other day was inartful, so I want to be very clear," Cuomo said Friday. "Of course America is great and of course America has always been great. No one questions that."
Yeah, he's a Democrat so his language was "inartful". Republicans are never "inartful". They are simply hateful.
I have a proposal and request feedback. Visualize the Republicans running an ad that consists of something like a video of Andy saying "America was never that great", and then a voiceover saying that is the Democrat view, but Republicans have the opposite opinion. Vote Republican. Do you think such an ad would be effective?
