A disgraced former governor has repeatedly proves how much he looks like the present president.

There are some more dangerous places for the policy than a private dinner dinner. Against the background of the luxurious habitat of the jet recruitment, even the most tanning and diplomatic activists are tempted to release their guard and do politically harm. Fundraising was where Barack Obama talked scorn Work class voters who “cling to weapons or religion”, Mitt Romney smiled On “47 percent” of Americans who, he said, do not pay taxes, and Hillary Clinton Wrote down half of Trump’s voters As “dairy”.
Former New York governor and is currently engaged in Mary’s candidate Andrew Kuom, is the last politician who has become a prey for a wealthy donor supper. But unlike its predecessors, its guff is not about voters. It’s about yourself.
Politics reports As a result of Hamptons fundraising last Saturday, Kuoma told his fans that, contrary to all available proof, he could win the Mayor’s Mayor race as an independent that he would probably have the implicit support for President Donald Trump.
These words were very clearly directed at what Politics describes as a “convenient” crowd of rich guests. Kuoma’s comments, which are subjected to criminal record, were convinced that the main purpose of the election is the victory of Zakhran Mamdani, who defeated Kuom in June to become the official candidate of the Democratic Party. The need to defeat Mamman justified the new coalition of Kuom, trying to create their own tough loyalists (which are Democrats) with the Republicans Trump. Some of these recent groups may be tempted to return Curtis Slive, the actual GOP nominee in the race. But Kuoma had a response to them – and everything was about Trump.
Kuoma said to these donors: “We can minimize the vote (SLIWA) because it will never become a serious candidate. And Trump himself, like top republicans, will say that the goal is to stop Mammani. And you will spend your voice on the plum.”
Kuoma continued to emphasize that he would be a mayor who could find common ground with Trump:
“Let’s say this:said Kuom. – I knew the president very well. I believe that New York has a big piece that really wants to buy. He feels that he was rejected by New York. We voted for Hillary Clinton. Bill de Blozio removed his name. So I believe that they will actually cooperate with him. I also believe that he does not want to fight me in New York if he can avoid it. “
Current Issue
This statement is the more typical because the big point of sale of kuom in the democratic main was a false claim that he was a tough guy who could resist Trump like no other. Mammani is natural confiscated further a Politics Report to discredit kuoma.
Significant political humiliation admit that kuoma made the classics Kinsley Gafé: A statement that is uncomfortable because it’s true. Since Mammani is the preferred favorite of the Democratic Party voters (which, in the end, gave him a distribution), the only chance of Kuoma to power is to address the Republicans.
More surprisingly, Kuoma justified the many years of criticism of his political opponents: that, despite the fact that he was the famous Democratic Party family, he is basically a contistant. Like Trump, Kuoma sells not ideology, but a cult of personality based on the macho -falsehood and separate cultural wars. Both kuoma and Trump cynically applied the Israel/Palestine conflict as a wedge falsely accused their opponents of anti -Semitism. In 1977, Mario Kuom (Andrew’s father) unsuccessfully ran for the mayor of New York against Ed Koch, which was considered gay. According to rumors, Andrew Kuom became the author of the notorious poster that proclaimed “vote for kuoma rather than homo”.
In 2020, journalist grew Barkan, a sharp observer of New York politics, times argued“Kuoma and Trump have much more common than the liberals in my stern.”
In 2021. My Nation Colleague Eli Mistal firmly linked Trump and Kuoma in the role of two “New York strong”, which are determined by the racist policy of the law and the order that dominates the city in the 1970s and 80s:
In the near future, New York Governor Andrew Kuomo-one of those people who seem to believe that aggression and bullying-real signs of the state’s empire.
Kuoma resigned as he managed, which means that he tried to impose his personal will for the reality of the situation. This is a guy who wrote a book about victory in Covid-19, even if the virus was still raging and investigated his own cover for the death of the nursing home. He, as we know, called political competitors and shouted at them, and the people who worked for him, talking about his fear to tell the governor everything he did not want to hear.
Karen Hinton, a professional political communications who worked with Kuom in the late 1990s, when he was the secretary of the HUD, studied Trump’s community and kuom as bullies. Writing in New York Daily news In May Hinton times argued.
Kuoma is nothing but Trump of the Democratic Party. It will be as vindictive and as careless as Trump.
Like Trump, Kuoma is hunting on the cavity, men and women. It is known Threat, punishment and bullying; Many in the state legislative body because they disagree with him or do not give him respect he thinks.
Coom’s characterization as a “Democratic Trump” may seem like a mud, but it was a reasonable assessment of the former governor’s policy. But even those who describe kuom under these conditions can be surprised at how they got into the eyes. Kuoma is not just a Trump-style politician; He is now actually an ally of Trump. His revealed strong policy finally found his last home, as part of the presidency. And Kuom has proven himself as everyone, as arrogant as his fierce critics accused him of being.
At this point, the crisis we need the only, progressive opposition to Donald Trump.
We begin to see how we start to develop on the streets and ballots all over the country: from the Candide company in Mary’s New York Mammani, focused on accessibility, community that protect their neighbors from ice, to senators who oppose weapons.
The Democratic Party has an urgent choice: will it accept a policy that is fundamental and popular, or will continue to insist on the loss of elections with the elites and consultants who brought us here?
