The Big Apple Mayoral Candidate Forum got ugly on Wednesday night for former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.
The dishonorable Pol, who resigned from the governor’s office in 2021 after numerous scandals, answered questions about public safety at the Democratic mayoral forum at Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn.

“And when I see a bunch of young, white progressive types, I think it’s a disgrace (comes to our space). Tell us who we should vote for, we can think for ourselves, we are educated.”
