New York Legislators Outraged At Maxine Waters' comments directed at them when a troll changes the words to drop Trump and replace with Cuomo...
The “Cuomo Watch” Twitter account hilariously trolled Democrats last week using Waters words.
Remember when she said “if you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.”
Cuomo Watch tweeted “If you see anybody from the Cuomo Administration in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere. -Maxine CuomoWatch”.
A number of New York Democrats used the tweet to express their outrage without realizing that it was word from Waters.
Alex Griswold has a round up of Democrat officials denouncing the Cuomo Watch tweet.
Speaker of the New York State Assembly, Carl L. Heastie, said “this is appalling and dangerous. Encouraging violence must never be tolerated. Shame on whoever is behind this kind of garbage.”
New York State Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz tweeted in response “What’s wrong with you? Threatening violence against duly elected representatives of the people of New York is fascism. The hatred unleashed by Trump and his gang of thugs continues to reverberate throughout the country. Enough is enough.”
Kenny Burgos, a NYS Assemblyman from the Bronx, tweeted: “We need to stop this behavior towards elected officials and especially their staff. The seige [sic] of the Capitol empowered behavior like this and must be stopped at any moment it creeps its head out in any fashion.”
Congressman Ritchie Torres tweeted “As a Congressman who lived through the insurrection against the US Congress, I am appalled by the tweet below, which is an invitation to violence against public officials. We must all denounce in no uncertain terms any attempt at inciting political violence.” He deleted the tweet after learning the words were that of a colleague.
