Cuomo Re-emerges and Blames ‘Cancel Culture’ for His Fall
The New York Times
Andrew Cuomo, the ex-governor of New York, said in a speech at a Black church that he wanted to “tell my truth.”
Former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo emerged from his self-imposed exile on Sunday, using his first public appearance in more than six months to cast himself as a victim of “cancel culture” and to vow to reinsert himself in New York’s political discourse.
Speaking at God’s Battalion of Prayer Church, a Black congregation in Brooklyn, Mr. Cuomo defiantly told a sparse collection of about 100 congregants that he wanted to “tell my truth,” describing cancel culture as a “frightening” form of extremism and claiming he had been “vindicated” in the months since he resigned in August following a string of sexual harassment allegations.
The remarks, marked more heavily by the blame he placed on others for his downfall than by a display of contrition, were the most robust effort yet by Mr. Cuomo in his attempt to rehabilitate his reputation and salvage his legacy after his decade-long reign as governor ended abruptly in disgrace.
