Learn to read. I didn't say they endorsed him. They 100% want him to win over Mamdani though. Schumer, Jeffries, Hochul, Gillibrand and on and on all have refused to endorse the actual Dem primary winner. Cuomo lost and they still won't come or against him

Lol

That would definitely not be a disqualification for Dem congress. They are jonesing hard for Cuomo to win NYC and he's about as lecherous as they come.

And to the point he thinks he's making, if it's not the guns then why bother with metal detectors? Everyone should carry guns 24/7 according to them. What they should be detecting is mental health, a stable home, food, etc. But they don't give a shit about those things.
