Greene slams calls for GOP to back Cuomo to stop Mamdani

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., this week, expressed incredulity at Republicans calling for New York City GOP mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa to drop out and back former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, D-N.Y., in a bid to stop Zohran Mamdani from leading the city.

Mamdani is currently the clear front runner to win the mayoral race, though he could face a credible challenge if either Cuomo or Sliwa dropped out and backed a unity ticket. Some Republicans have suggested Sliwa should drop out in favor of Cuomo, though he has declined to do so. Greene, for her part, saw such a move as absurd.

"I’m amazed at how many Republicans have suddenly forgotten or completely don’t care that Cuomo killed elderly people in nursing homes by putting COVID patients IN the nursing homes and enforced some of the most insane Covid lockdowns in the country!" she posted on X. "
But are now saying the NY Republican mayoral candidate should drop out so that the literal COVID Communist, Cuomo, can win and become mayor of NY again."

"I can’t even imagine if my mother or father was murdered in a New York nursing home because of Andrew Cuomo putting Covid patients in the nursing homes and then telling me that I have to vote for him," she went on. "

Are you kidding me?

If Mamdani wins, then he will show all of America what his policies look like in action and all the Democrats endorsed him.

And people can move out of NYC, I honestly don’t know how they live there in the first place!"

Mamdani managed to defeat Cuomo in the Democratic primary in what was considered an upset. He has espoused socialist policies and attracted considerable opposition from the New York Jewish community.
