Andrew Cuomo, during a public appearance in Harlem, criticized the fringe left of the Democratic Party for advocating policies he believes negatively impact poor and minority communities. He advocated for hiring 5,000 more police officers, denouncing calls to reduce police presence as detrimental. Reflecting on his diminished political visibility since resigning as governor, Cuomo seeks to reestablish his presence in the political landscape amid chatter of a mayoral run, engaging with supporters and denouncing the left's stance on policing as disconnected from the needs of the city.
Cuomo emphasized that the extremist left within the Democratic Party serves no one but the elite, questioning who their anti-police rhetoric truly benefits.
He argued that progressives, who claim to represent disadvantaged communities, fail to recognize that their policies are driving the city backward, harming those same communities.
