Bill Samuels Blasts Gov. Cuomo, Says He Should Run As A Republican

GLENN BLAIN

Liberal activist and Democratic fundraiser Bill Samuels, founder of the New Roosevelt Initiative, has had it with Gov. Cuomo

In a blistering statement emailed to reporters Thursday afternoon, Samuels called Cuomo a “disappointment and an embarrassment,” and went so far as to say he should run as a Republican.

The statement came as Samuels and other activists took part in a major demonstration at the Capitol with several protestors getting arrested for blocking the entrance to Cuomo’s office.

Cuomo is a vindictive bully. The only difference between Cuomo and Chris Christie is that Cuomo's minions won't use e-mail to plan their retribution and the retribution likely will be orchestrated by Cuomo acolytes who are not in State government. Remember the Cuomo's administration's self-professed mantra: "We have two speeds here; get along and kill." Translation: do Cuomo's bidding or bear the consequences.
