Were Not Going to Make America Great Again Cuomo

ALBANY - Gov. Andrew Cuomo gave an impassioned oral communication Wednesday by knocking President Donald Trump over his comments and policies toward women.

Then Cuomo was stung past his own comments as he derided Trump when he said, "We're not going to make America slap-up again. It was never that neat."

The Democratic governor drew criticism from Trump and other Republicans for the annotate, which came as Cuomo discussed the demand for stronger women's rights during the speech in Manhattan, where he signed a bill to make sexual activity trafficking in New York a felony.

In a tweet, Trump said Cuomo was having a "meltdown, while Republican gubernatorial candidate Marc Molinaro said Cuomo owed the nation an apology.

"America, with its imperfections, has ever been great," Molinaro, the Dutchess County executive, said in a argument.

"Our people, our principles, and our promises have been a buoy calorie-free to the world for 242 years and counting."

The country GOP chosen the comment "offensive" and called "on every Democratic candidate and elected official to condemn his remarks immediately."

For Cuomo, the annotate was part of his larger contention that Trump'southward slogan, "Make America Bang-up Again," is aimed at moving the nation backward, not forrard, when information technology comes to equal rights for all.

"The simple point is all this comes down to this: We're not going to make America cracking once again. It was never that nifty," Cuomo said.

"Nosotros have not reached greatness. We will reach greatness when every American is fully engaged. We will reach greatness when bigotry and stereotyping confronting women — 51 pct of our population — is gone."

Cuomo, who is seeking a third term and is a prospective 2022 presidential candidate, has railed against the Trump administration on a host of issues, including immigration, gun control, tax reform and the rebuilding of Puerto Rico — which Cuomo has visited 5 times since Hurricane Maria last year.

"Go back to when, Mr. President?" Cuomo said Wednesday.

Cuomo said, "New York is going to exist the alternative state to Trump's America."

He ended the speech by proverb, "Nosotros have not withal fully liberated the women in this country, and nosotros will. And New York volition lead the way. And watch New York rise."

In a subsequent statement, Cuomo spokeswoman Dani Lever said Cuomo was expressing his disagreement with Trump's positions.

"The governor believes America is slap-up and that her full greatness will exist fully realized when every man, woman, and child has full equality," Lever said. "America has not yet reached its maximum potential."

She added that when the president talks about making America neat over again, "he ignores the pain so many endured and that we suffered from slavery, discrimination, segregation, sexism and marginalized women's contributions."

In his tweet late Wednesday, Trump included Cuomo's quote before criticizing the governor.

"Can yous believe this is the Governor of the Highest Taxed Country in the U.S., Andrew Cuomo, having a total meltdown!," Trump tweeted.

Cuomo responded with a tweet of his own, accusing Trump of wanting to accept the country back to a fourth dimension when discrimination was accepted.

"What you say would exist 'great again' would not be not bad at all," Cuomo tweeted. "We will non go back to discrimination, segregation, sexism, isolationism, racism or the KKK."

The governor's comments Wednesday came after Trump visited upstate New York on Monday and ripped Cuomo, mocking the governor for potentially wanting to run against him in 2020.

Trump alleged that Cuomo once called him and said, 'I'll never run for president against you,'"

Then Trump said of the swain Queens native: "But maybe he wants to. Oh, please do it. He did say that. Maybe he ways information technology."

Trump added: "One matter we know and they do say: Everyone who runs against Trump suffers."

Cuomo said Tuesday that he never talked politics with the Republican president.

"I talk to the president, merely I talk to him about policy problems that are affecting this state," Cuomo said.

"And I practise disagree with the president. If I were president of the Us, I would not exist trying to whorl back a woman's correct to cull. I would not exist ripping babies out of the arms of their mothers."
