Andrew Cuomo Zohran Kwame Mamdani Can Andrew Cuomo win this election with such angry churlish humorless attack tweets?

The leaked Young Republicans group chat included racist slurs, talk of “putting opponents in gas chambers,” and rape jokes. Bobby Walker, then vice chair of the New York State Young Republicans and staffer to state Sen. Rob Ortt, called rape “epic.” investigativepost.org/2025/10/20/the…

I just spoke with Curtis Sliwa who insists once again that he's staying in the race. He also confirms that he'd bring his six cats to Gracie Mansion: "These are family members." Apollo, Athena, Lo-Key, Tiny, Ajax and Mittens who is "begging to get on Ozempic."
