He was born and partially raised in Africa. Itโ€™s not crazy to claim โ€œAfrican-Americanโ€ heritage on an applicationโ€ฆ

Andrew Cuomo thought he could skate into office without saying anything to offend his competition. I live in California, but as a former New Yorker, I could tell Mamdani was formidable early on.

I don't think it would have helped Cuomo's campaign to solicit criminal hacking of educational institutions to obtain confidential information about teenage applicants to further a political campaign

Feel like of anything this is a pretty good example of the news judgement rot at the Times, this is getting big dramatic scoop treatment by the paper but seems relatively meaningless (meanwhile as youโ€™ve discussed extensively this treatment wasnโ€™t given to the awful OBBB)

Incredibly unimportant information. Also, the dude didnโ€™t lie โ€” he just has a complex background like many Americans do. Itโ€™s a common experience when trying to fill out these forms which demand we fit in a box.

If you ask for a business loan or a charitable grant, someone usually vets to make sure you're not gonna take the money and fuck off. I think political donors need to start doing some similar vetting

Cuomo suffered from an attack of Acute Joe Crowley syndrome.

Heโ€™s dumb for not hacking into Columbiaโ€™s admissions system and stealing student application data, youโ€™re right, another brilliant take

There are many problems with a story that has Cuomo in the hero role.

I wonder if the old dummy left is strong enough to push back the new commie left? Historically once the commies get some momentum you guys crumble.

It has been odd considering his closeness to the pro-Pal movement, DSA, and academia liberalism that there hasnโ€™t been more, no bad tweets from close advisors, no articles written that seem crazy. Letโ€™s see but good for him! This one is small beans in modern environment.

It's gross that you're even retweeting this. He is literally Asian and African American. This is a disgusting racist attack that you should not be drawing attention to.

We pushed all this stuff, news orgs in the west simply refused to run with it The antisemitism we unveiled alone was tantamount to charged treason, but that's another conversation. Guy would have aimed our big red button at Israรซl if he was President, he's loyal to Palestine
