Absolutely, senator.

If Donald Trump is serious about intervening in the mayoral race, he should come to New York City and debate me directly about why he’s cutting SNAP benefits for hungry New Yorkers to give tax breaks to his wealthy donors.

None of it has to do with the welfare of this city. It all has to do with power.

None of this has to do with New Yorkers.

We are talking about a mayor who was facing an indictment that was then dropped by this administration to ensure greater collaboration with the immigration directives of this administration now being considered for a job offer.

Today, we have learned what New Yorkers have long suspected, that Andrew Cuomo is Donald Trump’s choice to be the next mayor of this city.

That is why so many New Yorkers are turned off by our politics, because they see no relevance of their struggles in the conversations that are taking place.

But this is an affront to our city’s democracy. This is an affront to the values that make so many of us proud to be Americans — that we could choose our own leaders, not that our leaders pick themselves or their friends.

I think oftentimes in a race such as this, it’s tempting to think of this solely in the question of, how does this impact the race?

I say I’m not anti-vaccine.

I am very concerned about the example that is being set by anybody in our party … if an individual doesn’t want to support the party’s nominee now, it complicates their ability to ask voters to support any nominee later.

I don’t know how many died.

Absolutely, senator. It’s phenomenal.

I don’t know if it saved a million lives.

You’re wrong.

You’re making things up to scare people, and it’s a lie.

If you had an employee who told you they weren’t trustworthy, would you ask them to resign, senator?

No, I did not.
