‘Slapping Fannies & Killing Grannies’: Republican Mayoral Candidate Says Cuomo Should Drop Out, Not Him

Republican mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa of New York City called on former Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York to end his mayoral campaign Wednesday, citing his past scandals.

Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani of New York City secured the Democratic nomination in the June 24 primary, beating out Cuomo and several other challengers while running on a far-left platform that included declaring Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would be arrested if he came to New York City and defending the boycott, divest and sanction movement (BDS). Sliwa dismissed the chances of Cuomo and incumbent Mayor Eric Adams of New York City during an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity.

“Stay in the Hamptons with the billionaires, Andrew Cuomo, you are not ready for prime time,” Sliwa said. “I’m in the streets, I’m in the subways, I’m getting the Millennials, I’m getting the Gen Z’s, I’m taking on Zohran Mamdani and the socialists where he kicked your butt politically. You don’t have a right to return. You should be ashamed of yourself, because you have helped turn New York City over to the socialists.”

“I am the only one standing in their way. Eric Adams is damaged goods. Every day a new case of corruption in the police department. They believe he is corrupt,” Sliwa continued. “Andrew Cuomo is a creep. Slapping fannies and killing grannies. Everybody likes Curtis Sliwa, my favorable ratings are the highest in this election cycle. So guess what? You have gotta vote for the guy who would, if you cut my veins and arteries, I bleed New York City.”
