Gov Cuomo Drops An N-Bomb. And I Don’t Mean Nuclear.

Well well well.  This is interesting.

According to the sourcelink, Governor Andrew Cuomo, dropped the n-word during a live radio interview today on WAMC.

He was talking about Columbus Day and the hullabaloo around efforts to rename it Indigenous Peoples Day, and said, “Oh, well yeah. Oh, Times also said in an article the other day, they were talking about, they were going back to Italian Americans because you now have me.  They used an expression that southern Italians were called, I believe they were saying southern Italians – Sicilians; I’m half Sicilian – were called quote on quote, pardon my language but I’m just quoting the Times, “ni**er Wops. N-word Wops,” as a derogatory comment. When I said “wop” is a derogatory comment, that’s when the Times Union told me, no you should look in Wikipedia. “Wop” really meant a dandy. I’m sure that’s what they were saying to me back in Queens. You’re a dandy, when they looked at me with scorn and gave me a hand gesture and called me a Wop. So that’s the New York Times.”

Now granted, he was quoting the NYT, as he said.  And as a rational person who understands that when people quote other people, it’s simply not the same as USING the word, I would totally give him a pass on this, just like I give any white person SINGING ALONG TO SONG LYRICS a pass.  You wanna write the n-word in your song?  Then you gotta be ok with white people singing along to it, because that’s what people do.

But if Cuomo were a Republican?  Progressives would be ALL OVER THIS.  They’d be demanding he resign.  Let’s watch how quickly this story DOESN’T take off, because Cuomo is someone the Left prefers to protect.

Just sayin’.

PS.  If Daisy were writing this post, she’d be reminding y’all right now that Gov. Northam still has a job.  🙂
