State Sen. Jessica Ramos had to know her surprise endorsement of former Gov. Andrew Cuomo wouldn’t go over easily with progressives. But the backlash to the announcement from the trailing mayoral candidate on Friday was swift – including from some of the organizations, labor unions and elected officials who endorsed her. That includes the New York Working Families Party, which removed her as their 5th ranked choice on Friday evening.
At least four of Ramos’ endorsers had rescinded their endorsements by the time she finished speaking on stage at a Cuomo campaign event on Friday morning, and even more did so later in the day. United Auto Workers Region 9A, Jews for Racial and Economic Justice Action, the Jim Owles Liberal Democratic Club and Assembly Member Emily Gallagher all dropped Ramos from their endorsement slates on Friday. “Opposing Andrew Cuomo is a non-negotiable for our membership,” UAW Region 9A said in a statement explaining the change to its ranked choice slate.
It’s wild to me to think that Creeper Cuomo is within sniffing distance of another major political office.
Even more disgusting to think he’s paying off women in the race to endorse him to that end
