[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This from the NYT. Disgusting of Cuomo.

Late Wednesday, Mr. Cuomo’s campaign posted, and then took down, an A.I.-generated video depicting Mr. Mamdani’s supporters as trespassers, domestic abusers, pimps, drug dealers and drunken drivers, and showing a Black shoplifter in a kaffiyeh.

The video called Mr. Mamdani an “inexperienced radical” and portrayed him eating rice with his hands, a common practice among South Asians that has been frequently invoked by the right to mock Mr. Mamdani. Mr. Azzopardi said the video was posted “in error” by a junior staff member.[/quote]

I'm the primary anti-Mamdani person. This is not cool by Cuomo. I think the radio thing was also not particularly cool. But I will be fair. I frequently criticized Mamdani for not doing a good job of distancing himself from things even when I admit they are overblown. Similarly, I think the radio thing is overblown but if Cuomo was a better human being he still should be distancing himself from it when given the chance. I don't have a huge issue with what happened there in the moment. But when asked about it afterwards, he should have been stronger about saying it wasn't OK. And he didn't.

Despite saying this I'm sure my adversary here will still find a reason to insult me, despite my frequent efforts to find common ground. Still waiting for them to say one negative thing about Mamdani, the golden child.[/quote]
