Ritchie Torres Backs Cuomo for Mayor

[RandySF]

Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) “is backing Andrew Cuomo for New York City mayor even though the former governor hasn’t formally entered the race,” the New York Post reports.

Said Torres: “The two most important things we need are competence and courage. Andrew Cuomo has the competence to govern the city. He has the courage to stand up to extremist politics — both from the far left and far right.”

1. Always be careful when a Democrat talks about the "Far Left"

Cause that often means moderately liberal or someone who just doesn't agree with attacking unions or cozying up to Republicans. I remember Andrew Cuomo's trips upstate to attack teachers and policemen and state workers, in audiences featuring GOP fundraisers and land developers, and these groups he attacked are the "Far Left" Torres is talking about here.

3. Cuomo will support Torres

In a gubenatorial primary. Hochul is feckless and should be done anyway, but we don’t need Cuomo back.
