Andrew Cuomo is flailing. Most assumed that his crushing loss to Zohran Mamdani in the Democratic primary to be mayor of New York City would see him depart from the political scene. But, in an indication that he suffers from a humiliation fetish, Cuomo oon re-entered the race as an independent candidate.
Since then, both Mamdani and Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa have been kicking him around like a football. Mamdani and Sliwa have practically nothing in common politically, but have found common ground in their mutual dislike of Cuomo and all he represents.
Cuomo had a disastrous time in the final mayoral debate last night, which saw Mamdani reveal that one of the women who’d accused him of sexual misconduct was sitting in the audience, but couldn’t speak up for herself. Mamdani then pressured Cuomo:
“She cannot speak up for herself because you lodged a defamation case against her. I, however, can speak. What do you say to the 13 women that you sexually harassed?”
Cuomo’s awful night continued with his campaign team posting this truly bananas A.I. attack ad. Apparently, even he immediately realizedit was a bad idea, as it was almost instantly deleted. But the internet doesn’t forget:
Andrew Cuomo’s campaign just posted — and quickly deleted — this AI-generated ad depicting “criminals for Zohran Mamdani.”

Wow, that’s like racist racist
Leaving aside the ethical nightmare of putting words into the mouth of an A.I. replica of Zohran Mamdani, pretty much everyone instantly dubbed this video as racist. And not just regular racism, but old school 1970s racism!
My jaw dropped. How is the black man in a keffiyeh wearing a mask (bit on the nose for Cuomo the covid granny killer?) to shoplift the 2nd most racist caricature!?!

So much to unpack, but the one of Mamdani bounding down the street while gleefully eating a bowl of rice with his hands. Wow

She had the funniest AI face, made of plastic and didn’t lip-synch at ALL

Polls indicate Cuomo is cruising for yet another humiliating defeat as, once again, millions of dollars in campaign donations go up in smoke. Given everything we know about him, perhaps it’s too much to expect that he try and squeeze a few atoms of dignity out of this miserable and doomed run to be mayor. Even so, this scuzzy, racist AI garbage is a new low even for him.
