Candidate Cynthia Nixon blasts Cuomo on ethics, funding and more

[TexasTowelie]

Albany -- Gubernatorial candidate Cynthia Nixon tore into Gov. Andrew Cuomo Monday, saying he's a bully, has failed to clean up the Capitol's notorious political corruption and is hammering out a sexual harassment policy behind closed doors with "four men in a room," but no female lawmakers.

"He's cleaned up Albany about as well as President Trump has drained the swamp," said Nixon. The actress, famous for her role in "Sex and the City," has launched a primary challenge to Cuomo from the left.

She was speaking at what was billed as a press conference about school funding with the Alliance for Quality Education, a group that she has long supported in the state's perennial battles over education spending.

But after some statements by parents in Albany, Ossining and New York City who wanted more school spending, Nixon took the podium at the Albany Hilton and launched into attack mode.

2. Just unsubscribed from WFP (which endorsed Nixon)

NY has corrupt politicians but Cuomo is not one. Working Families Party has a line on our ballot and got that line by running the Democratic candidates, but Nixon will be on the WFP line in November. Without a credible accusation of corruption, Cuomo will win our primary and Nixon will be soon forgotten.
