Cuomo fires back at Trump: 'America is great because it rejects your hate-filled agenda'

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) fired back at President Trump on Friday after the president continued to attack Cuomo's claim that America was "never that great."

"We know how tough Trump is: hiding behind tweets & ripping babies from their mothers arms," Cuomo tweeted.

"Let's get something straight: America is great because it rejects your hate-filled agenda of bigotry & sexism Ny’ers have your number @realDonaldTrump & will fight you all day. Bring it on."

The response from Cuomo is the latest development in a saga that started earlier this week after the Democratic governor said America couldn't become great again because it was "never that great."

I will give him the benefit of the doubt that he misspoke.

...I've never particularly liked Cuomo and his whole back and forth on this among many other things has just solidified how little I care for him. Which saddens me because his father was one of the people who inspired me to be involved in and follow politics in the first place many years ago.

Obviously I will do what I have to, but along with Gillibrand (coincidentally enough also from NY) he is the Dem I would least enthusiastically support in 2020.
