Rob Astorino top consultant refers to Senate GOP Leader Dean Skelos as Gov. Cuomo's 'prison punk'

KEN LOVETT

A top consultant to GOP gubernatorial candidate Rob Astorino referred in a tweet to state Senate GOP Leader Dean Skelos as Gov. Cuomo's "prisonpunk."

Bill O'Reilly made the comment after Skelos was included in a press release praising Cuomo for Monday's bond rating upgrade by Moody's Investors Service.

Skelos cited Cuomo's "leadership" and credited the Democrat with working with the Legislature to move "“the state in the right direction.” The comment from the Senate GOP leader counters fellow Republican Astorino's central campaign theme that the state is losing under Cuomo.
