Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Saturday he’ll pack his bags and flee to Florida if he loses the NYC mayoral race to socialist Zohran Mamdani.
“It’s all or nothing. We either win or even I will move to Florida. God forbid!” Cuomo told business leaders and other honchos at a Hamptons breakfast hosted by supermarket mogul John Catsimatidis.
People reading it like a contingency plan, but the “God forbid” makes me read it like Florida is the worst place in the world to Cuomo and he’s using it as hyperbole for how bad NYC will become. I don’t know if he meant it that way, of course, but I like the idea of using Florida as my benchmark insult.
That said, I totally agree that when Mamdami wins, Cuomo should be exiled to Florida as punishment-- he belongs there with all the other sex pests.
