Cuomo Unleashes Fierce Attack on Mamdani’s Rent Control Hypocrisy in NYC Mayoral Showdown – Twitchy

Andrew Cuomo has taken to X to attack Zohran Mamdani. Get out your popcorn.

Somewhere last night in New York City, a single mother and her children slept at a homeless shelter because you, assemblyman @ZohranKMamdani are occupying her rent controlled apartment.

You grew up rich and married an even wealthier woman. You’ve had weddings on 3 continents.… https://t.co/kWXUI0MxdA pic.twitter.com/mvYZfCO8Af

Mamdani had a days long wedding on a compound and it was quite the lavish affair. Hard to understand why he’d need a rent controlled apartment. 

In case you forgot, I’m Andrew Cuomo, son of Mario, grandson of Andrea.

Welcome to the heavyweight bout, @ZohranKMamdani

This is a two man race. You look tired already. It’s just the second round.

Cuomo sounds a bit desperate rattling off his lineage, but heaven knows he would be a much better Mayor than Mamdani. 

Before 2019, a rent stabilized apt switched to market rate when the rent went above $2700 & the tenants made above $200k. But that was repealed in 2019. Now NYers who luck into a stabilized apt get to keep their artificially low rent forever, no matter how rich they become. https://t.co/5xj5nr4S2c

So, no matter how much money he makes in the future, he can keep his cheap digs. That doesn’t seem very fair. 

Incredible that New York City might elect a rich kid welfare case as its next mayor. His world-famous parents live in a luxury apartment, while he abuses public assistance well into his thirties. His ideology is just a rationalization of the way he lives: other people pay. https://t.co/0kOdBen7II

Typical commie who wants to live off someone else’s labor.

Cuomo has been wrong about a lot, but he’s not wrong on this.
Mamdani is an ultra-wealthy socialist fraud who takes advantage of the system to further enrich himself. https://t.co/Dc5giJh1L3

Cuomo does have a point: it is grubby, self entitled, corrupt behavior to occupy a rent controlled apartment when you’re a rich kid whose parents have a spare luxury apartment in Chelsea on hand.

It’s this sort of thing that people immediately recognize in Mamdani and makes him… https://t.co/AK2TVf63B1

It’s disgusting, but Mamdani is a gross person. 

Cuomo has clearly hired a new messaging team. This 👇🏻is his first smart salvo of the election. Sliwa should echo it soon. https://t.co/pRnojezqHX

Cuomo is finally playing hardball. It took him long enough. 

Hate him if you like, Cuomo isn’t wrong: Mamdani is the nepo-baby of millionaire jet-setters who proudly boasted about gaming rent-controlled housing. He’s a hypocrite, an exploiter, and a fraud. https://t.co/2MhwzHZU9z

It ain’t about how hard you hit, it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward
