MAGA mode? Chris Cuomo declares Dem Party ‘dead’ after brother loses mayoral primary race

Former CNN host Chris Cuomo has officially declared the Democrat Party “dead” after his brother lost NYC’s Democratic mayoral primary bid.

Andrew Cuomo was defeated by radical 33-year-old socialist Zohran Mamdani in what is being seen as an election upset.

Andrew Cuomo was forced to resign as New York’s governor in 2021 after facing a sexual harassment scandal and being heavily criticized for enforcing totalitarian COVID policies. That being said, many on both sides of the political aisle believe he would still be a better candidate than Mamdani.

Brother Chris, of course, agrees and reamed Democrats for being wildly out of touch, and claimed he wasn’t surprised by the election results.

“I get why many of you were surprised by the Democratic primary results in New York City. I was not,” Cuomo stated.

“Two reasons. One is that it was a low turnout race that people did not think could go the way it did. The enthusiasm and turnout energy were overweighted for the more extreme candidates, as is often the case, and that’s one of the problems with our binary system and with our closed primaries. And there were several radical choices in the mix, not to mention, and contrary to what was sold by his opponents, Andrew’s no establishment guy and the party was not loving that he ran, but that’s his case to make, okay?”

He went on to describe the Dem Party as being in “MAGA mode” because of it’s current “extremism.”

“The second reason I wasn’t surprised is actually worth talking about here because it affects the entire nation. The Democratic Party is now officially in MAGA mode. We are now, on both sides, in a period of extremism. The same way MAGA played with the prejudices of white nationalism, you’re seeing an identical dynamic on the left with prejudices like tacitly supporting extreme Islamism or targeting Jews.

“For the right, it’s migrants. For the left, it’s Jews. It’s fundamentalist Christians dominating the right. It’s fundamentalist Islamists making headway on the left. I know that doesn’t sound like Democrats, but that party is dead. What it will be reborn as, we’ll see.”

Cuomo shared his bizarre declaration on X, where he received plenty of heated responses:

There is no more Democratic party. There is no Republican party. Here is the truth: pic.twitter.com/7b8nTV5Hhp

The 2024 races had more politically homeless voters than I ever recall. Independents will decide every final race for a long time. We are fed up with the greed & insanity of big government. We just want life, liberty, & the pursuit of happiness with a government listening to its…

“ White nationalism. “. Such bullshit. The country is getting torn apart by a bunch of racist radicals and you wanna say that both parties are equally the same. Your a joke

And I’m glad the old Republican Party is dead because this new one is necessary to fight against the new communist party that has taking over the Democrat party.

MAGA is far from extreme..

“MAGA” is America First, and if some find that “extreme,” it might be time to move to New York City.
