Let me concede a half a point.
In CONTEXT, I will agree that the Governor WAS indeed talking about Conservatism within the context of the Republican PARTY.
That is a fair thing to say, as chickenwing more or less claims.
However, that still does not entirely get Cuomo off the hook.
What he is suggesting is that the CONSERVATIVE element of the Republican Party in NY is not welcome in NY because NY politics is more "moderate" (whatever that no word is supposed to mean). Hey Andy, you asshole, STFU.
The GOP should lower itself to contemplate YOUR self-serving asshole "advice" the moment YOU start giving more than mere lip service to "moderation" instead of toeing the ******* full-fledged LIBERAL line in your policies.
What NY NEEDS (urgently) is a stronger voice of dissent in OPPOSITION to your far left wing liberal political philosophy and governance. That would serve to moderate the out of control turn to the left which is dragging NY State down down down.
That's funny coming from you, one of guys who thought it was a brilliant idea that the GOP threw out Dede Scozzafava,
because a moderate like her 'had no place' in the GOP,
and ran rightwing tea bagger Doug Hoffmann in the race in NY's 23rd district.
How'd that work out for you?
