Cuomo: ‘I was not saying anyone should leave the state’
The Daily Caller ^ | February 12, 2014 | Caroline May

People misunderstood New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo when he said conservatives “have no place in the state of New York,” the Democratic governor explained Wednesday.

“I was not saying anyone should leave the state, right? And anyone who heard the comments knows that’s not what I was saying,” Cuomo said when asked about his comments at a press conference. “To the extent people want to have a political dialogue, that’s what it is.”

Cuomo came under fire from conservatives last month when he said “extreme conservatives, who are right-to-life, pro-assault weapon, anti-gay … have no place in the state of New York.”

Conservative talker Sean Hannity even threatened to leave the state over the comments.

“Gov. Cuomo, I’m going to leave and I’m taking all of my money with me – every single solitary penny,” Hannity said on his radio show in January. “And by the way governor, because I work here – there’s a whole bunch of people that work for me and benefit because I do two shows. And I guess maybe some of them will be out of work, governor. I’m sure you’ll take care of them.”(continued)

Some day New York will have to build a wall to keep people in.

Heck no! Conservatives can be pilloried for misspeaking when they didn’t.

So true. I have a good man in mind who fits that very statement, but he gets excoriated on FR, so I won't mention him.

Not W. I actually think he was pretty articulate, and without reliance on TeddyPrompter, either. I think yankees love to pretend that a drawl and slow speech means you can’t speak well. If that were true, then every cRapper is Churchill.

No, it’s someone else. ( but this person would also have had a southern drawl, just a different regional one).

What he said could not have been clearer. There is really no other way to understand what he said about conservatives. There is no ambiguity about his being a bigot.

Actually, moving out of NY is the wrong response. People need to move TO NY to outnumber the numbtards and get that state red again. Then Cuomo can say right-wingers aren’t welcome in the McDonalds he works at.

Whenever a prog speaks their truth, they immediately backpedal.

Upstate NY’ers are very, very different than NYC’ers. Like in most other states with a big city, except CA, CO and NE states.

What makes you think we want this a-hole of a city over on this side of the Hudson?

Most of America can't discern any difference.

I think Kurt Russel had it right... wall up NYC and do not let anyone in or out.

He meant that conservatives shouldn’t leave, just shut up and sit down and pay your taxes.
That’s much better.
