Former New York governor Andrew Cuomo was attacked by his opponents during a New York City mayoral debate on Thursday.
After Cuomo boasted that he had previously been able to make President Donald Trump “back down” and “he will again,” Republican mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa responded:
Wait a second. The president is going to back down to you, Andrew Cuomo? I know you think you’re the toughest guy alive, but let me tell you something. You lost your own primary, right? You were rejected by your Democrats and you have a difficult understanding what the term no is. You’re not gonna stand up to Donald Trump.

Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani then weighed in, “I agree with Curtis.”
Cuomo replied, “No, you’re not gonna stand up to Donald Trump, and he can’t stand up to Donald Trump, who’d knock him right on his tuchus.”

Sliwa and Mamdani’s remarks appeared to be a jab at Cuomo over the sexual harassment allegations against him which resulted in Cuomo resigning as governor of New York in 2021.
An independent investigation found that Cuomo had sexually harassed at least 11 women during his time as governor.
Cuomo was accused by former staffers, a state trooper, and numerous other women of forcible kissing, inappropriate touching, and groping.

While Cuomo denied the allegations, appearing to blame any inappropriate touching on his Italian heritage, he resigned from office in August 2021.
Addressing the scandal on The View this month, Cuomo said, “Nothing came from those allegations. It was a very painful period for me and for my family.”
“If I offended anyone in any way, I didn’t mean it. And I learned a lesson. A painful lesson,” he continued. “I won’t kiss a person on the cheek unless they initiate a kiss. So it taught me a lesson just to be super cautious because there is a sensitivity that has evolved that is real. If people feel it, it’s true, and it has to be respected.”
