Nixon takes shots at Cuomo, brings up 1970s campaign rumorNY Post, May 9, 2018, Kirstan Conley
Gubernatorial candidate Cynthia Nixon showed up at annual dinner where journalists blast Albany politicians and she took hard swings at the sitting governor who she hopes to unseat.
The former “Sex and the City†actress drew cheers and laughter by referencing a scandalous 1970s campaign stunt that opponents have tried tying to Andrew Cuomo for years. He was running his dad’s 1977 campaign for mayor when signs were plastered all over the subway, urging voters to “Vote for Cuomo, not the homo.â€
Andrew Cuomo has repeatedly denied involvement in the stunt pitting his dad against late, Mayor Ed Koch, who faced rumors — that he denied — of being gay.
“Vote for the homo, not Cuomo,†said Nixon, who is lesbian, flipping the slogan in her favor during a stand-up rebuttal to the Legislative Correspondents Association show Tuesday night.
