"During a conversation with conservative radio host Sid Rosenberg, Cuomo said, You wake up as mayor, you wake up as governor any morning, there's a prison uprising. There's a mass shooting. There's Legionnaire's Disease. There's going to be a physical collapseany given morning there's a crisis, and people's lives are at stake. God forbid, another 9/11 can you imagine Mamdani in the seat? Yeah, I could he'd be cheering, shot back Rosenberg. That's another problem, agreed Cuomo with a chuckle."
"Well, he [Cuomo] was talking about his [Mamdani's] experience. I mean, if you watched the debate last night, most of Cuomo's best moments were about Mamdani's experience. In this particular case, I think he was making two points, actually, submitted Jennings. One is, if he did, God forbid, have a massive emergency like that, would you really want someone in the mayor's seat who has never had a job, never run anything, certainly never run anything at this level?"
Andrew Cuomo warned that mayors or governors can face sudden crises — prison uprisings, mass shootings, Legionnaires' disease, physical collapses, or an event like 9/11 — and questioned Zohran Mamdani's readiness to manage such emergencies. A radio exchange suggested Mamdani might 'be cheering' during such an event, and Cuomo appeared to agree. Critics characterized the rhetoric as very nasty and disgusting. One commentator defended the critique as focusing on Mamdani's lack of executive experience and on a photo with an unindicted World Trade Center bombing co-conspirator, calling those matters legitimate to debate.
