Cuomo: America’s ‘Only Threat’ Is from ‘the Growing Division Amongst Us’

Cuomo: America’s ‘Only Threat’ Is From ‘The Growing Division Amongst Us’ (The Washington Free Beacon)

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D.) said the only threat to the United States "is from within" during his inauguration address delivered Tuesday.

While Cuomo, who begins his third term as governor, has said he will not run for president in 2020, he consistently struck a national message and criticized the Trump administration without ever specifically naming President Donald Trump himself.

"When they write the history books about this time and place, I believe they will record this period as one of global and national unrest," he said. "A time that saw thousands of new immigrants reaching for our borders in search of hope. A time that saw troubled, frightened, American citizens frustrated by economic stagnation and a deteriorating democracy, have grave new doubts about where our country is headed."
