  • Cuomo Absent From CNN After Transgender Comments

    02/24/2017 9:42:51 PM PST · by Helicondelta · 45 replies
    CNN's Chris Cuomo was absent Friday from "New Day," the morning show he usually co-anchors, following comments he made on social media about intolerance toward transgender people. David Gregory filled in for Cuomo. Cuomo spent hours the previous day fighting people on Twitter over whether there is a danger in allowing people to use the public restroom of their choice, depending on which gender they identify as. "What do you tell a 12-year-old girl who doesn't want to see a penis in the locker room?" one person said to Cuomo. He replied, "I wonder if she is the problem or...

    One week ago today, Governor Cuomo railed against what he called “extreme conservatives” who are “pro-life, pro-assault weapons, anti-gay.” He said such persons “have no place in the state of New York, because that’s not who New Yorkers are.” Yesterday, Mayor de Blasio said he agrees with Cuomo’s comments “100 percent.” He explained, “I interpret his [Cuomo's] remarks to say that an extremist attitude that continues the reality of violence in our communities or an extremist attitude that denies the rights of women, does not represent the views of the people of New York State.” deblasoThe spin won’t work.

    On Wednesday, Sen. Ted Cruz had a short message to New York pro-lifers deemed persona non grata by Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Come down to Texas, he told them in a tweet."New York pro-lifers in DC for @March_for_Life may not be welcomed back by @NYGovCuomo, but you're always welcome to march on down to Texas," he tweeted."I would love to come live in Texas. It's very frustrating to keep seeing all the stuff that Cuomo is doing," one person said in response.And it seems there's room in Texas for pro-life conservatives from other states, Twitchy reported."On my way from Minnesota. Make...

    On Friday, as I noted on Saturday, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo told public radio's Susan Arbetter that "extreme conservatives" – that is, people who are pro-life, understand the clear meaning of the Second Amendment, or wish to keep marriage as it has traditionally been defined – "have no place in the state of New York, because that’s not who New Yorkers are." Note well that Cuomo's remarks are still not news at the Associated Press's national site. On Sunday, Cuomo's people sent and released an "open letter" containing a very inaccurate transcription of the original interview accusing the New...

    New York governor Andrew Cuomo came under fire for criticizing pro-life and pro-Second Amendment citizens of his state -- and saying "that is not who New Yorkers are." Their problem is not me and democrats, their problem is themselves. Who are they? Are they these extreme conservatives, who are right to life, pro assault weapon, anti-gay, is that who they are? Because if that is who they are, and if they are the extreme conservatives, they have no place in the state of New York. Because that is not who New Yorkers are. Now his office is backtracking and insisting...
