ALBANY — Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Friday passed on another chance to
criticize Donald Trump, telling reporters the Republican presidential
candidate has been “effective” in harnessing voter unrest.
Cuomo, a Democrat, was asked about his relationship with Trump after
the real estate mogul said during a Thursday radio interview that he and
the governor “get along very well.”
The comments were included in a New York Post article
that, citing an anonymous source, said some Democrats were “chirping”
about Cuomo’s friendly interactions with The Donald at last Sunday’s
ceremony commemorating the 15th anniversary of the Sept. 11th attacks.
“I know Donald Trump. I know him as a New Yorker I’ve known him for
many years. I saw him at the 9/11 ceremony … that memorial service is a
solemn occasion. You have many family members there, you are literally
on sacred ground, as far as I’m concerned, so that is not the time to
play politics,” Cuomo told reporters after an event in Queens. “I’m the
governor of the State of New York. Anyone who comes to 9/11 and that
site, I thank them for coming, I thank them for their attendance, I
thank them for joining with New Yorkers and remembering those we lost,
and it’s not about politics.”
