Bill de Blasio: Andrew Cuomo Came Off ‘Desperate’ in Debate with Cynthia Nixon

‘I found some of the governor’s counterpoints a little desperate, honestly’

EXCERPT:

DE BLASIO: "Well, first of all, I have not made a public endorsement in this race and it is something I’m still looking at. But I want to say there’s no question in my mind Cynthia Nixon is an extraordinary human being, activist who has made a huge impact, particularly in terms of education and fairness for our children. I thought she more than held her own last night in the debate. I thought she got a lot of very powerful ideas out and a lot of very powerful critiques out. And I found some of the governor’s counterpoints a little desperate, honestly, the notion of calling her a corporation that sounded like a Citizens United decision by the Supreme Court that the — the corporation is a person. So the — look, I think the bottom line here is just like we’ve been talking about, this race is unpredictable here in New York. There’s a lot going on on the ground and there’s a lot of people who are thinking very independently, and anyone who thinks they know where this is going is not watching what is happening in current politics."
