He’s lost his heart!
New York City cannot afford to elect former government Andrew Cuomo as mayor of Big Apple, as “deteriorating mental vision” at City Hall, a rival to the Democratic nomination.
State Sen. Jessica Ramos made a surprising argument about Cuomo, 67, at an editorial committee meeting Thursday.
“I don’t think New York City can afford the Joe Biden moment. I think there’s a real reason why he doesn’t answer the question,” Ramos mentions the former president’s mental decline.
Queens lawmakers referenced Cuomo’s testimony before a House subcommittee on the coronavirus pandemic. There, they raked coal for a controversial administrative decree that ordered nursing homes to accept recovery from Covid patients, which reduced the deaths of nursing residents.
“Even when he went before Congress, he can’t remember any details about what he did,” Ramos, 39, said.
Republican lawmakers and other critics accused him of lying, which Cuomo denied.
“His mental vision is declining,” Ramos repeated as the Post Editorial Board forced her to clarify the bomb charges.
Cuomo will be the oldest mayor to be elected to City Hall since Abe Beame took office in 1974.
She speculated that Cuomo would have to “disgracefully resign” as governor in 2021 – the threat of each amid accusations of sexual misconduct from many women – took a blow to his mental health and memory. Cuomo denied the charges of harassment.
“To have to step down from dishonorance is at least at least his ego, but definitely he must have really sacrificed his mental health,” Ramos said.
Cuomo’s campaign spokesman Richard Azzopaldi asked Ramos’ claim that the former governor was in mental decline, saying, “You can quote me rolling my eyes – this is a desperate attack from the desperate extreme left socialists who are in debt and voting at 3%.”
“Was she so plain when she said that?” added Cuomo’s representative.
Asked if Cuomo would take a mental ability test to prove his vision, Atzpaldi shot, “F-K, off.”
Despite his baggage, the former three-time governor is at the clear frontline of the mayor’s Democratic primary, according to a recent series of polls.
Left-wing socialist Zohran Mamdani came in second place quite a bit behind Cuomo, but ahead of Ramos and all other candidates who failed to break single-digit support from Democrats in the poll.
According to the Campaign Finance Committee, Ramos is struggling to raise funds with a cash balance of $1,039 at campaign Kitty.
The primary election will be on June 24th, with an early voting session for the first week.
Ramos claims she has time for breakthroughs, and polls show that around 20% of Democrats have yet to fill their minds in the mayor’s office.
Earlier this week, the Iron Worker Union approved her as Cuomo’s second option, showing some support in the labor movement.
She will chair the Senate Labor Committee.
“The second major part of voters today is still undecided. There are more undecided voters than those who support DSA candidates, so I want to say there are still very wide lanes that someone can take,” Ramos said.
On the issue, Ramos said he is opposed to Mayor Eric Adams’ decision to grant enforcement access to our immigration customs and the Rikers Island Prison Complex.
“The due process is human rights,” she said in support of city sanctuary law.
Ramos has defended the “repaying police” statement for five years, saying it would bloat more expensive overtime and tech gizmos like the K5 police robot.
She said police crackdowns on sex trafficking and other crimes and disability along the corridors of Roosevelt Avenue in her district were primarily busts.
Her priorities are to chase after gangs and human traffickers.
The daughter of Colombian immigrants supports dramatically increasing the number of legal permits for street vendors.
Regarding education, she opposed laws that lift the limits of openings for charter schools in New York City, focusing on improving traditional public schools and working on labor contracts with teacher unions to promote recruitment, retention and accountability.
She said making it easier for working-class residents to own their homes will become a priority in her housing program.
