Gov. Andrew Cuomo Says the N-Word During Live Interview on the Radio

EXCERPT:

CUOMO: "They used the expression that southern Italians were called — I believe they said southern Italians, Sicilians, I'm half-Sicilian — were called, quote/unquote — pardon my language, but I'm just quoting 'The Times' — n***er wops, N-word wops, as a derogatory comment. When I said that wop was a derogatory comment, that's when 'The Times' union told me, 'No, you should look at Wikipedia. Wop really meant a dandy. (Laughs) I'm sure that's what they were saying to me back in Queens, You're a dandy,' when they looked at me with scorn and gave me a hand gesture and called me a wop. So that's 'The New York Times.'"
