Cuomo Says He Would Have Won if State Tried to Impeach, Didn’t Want to Make State Gov Look Like ‘Fools’
Disgraced New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said that he would have won if the state tried to impeach him — but he didn’t want to make the state government look like “fools.”
The comments were made during his first interview since announcing his resignation.
“You can’t talk a nail into going into a board,” Cuomo said in an interview with New York magazine on Friday. “You can’t charm the nail into a board. It has to be hit with a hammer.”
Cuomo claimed that when he inevitably won, it would make the State Legislature and state government “look like a ship of fools.”
“I feel like I did the right thing. I did the right thing for the state,” he said of his resignation.
