Meghan McCain hit the former governor of New York and accused the sex plague Andrew Cuomo on Saturday, calling him an “out of contact” that he would probably lose his commitment to the mayor of New York City for his most leftist opponent, a member of the Zohran Mamdani state assembly.

Cuomo lost to Mamdani in the democratic primaries of mayor of the city earlier this summer, but has indicated that he plans to remain in the race, running as independent in the general elections.

On Thursday, Cuomo called his rival in X while invoking his own father, Mario Cuomo, and Grandfather, Andrea Cuomo. Mario Cuomo served three periods as governor of New York in the 80s and 90s, while Andrea Cuomo was a grocery store in Queens.

“In case you forget it, I am Andrew Cuomo, son of Mario, Nieto de Andrea,” Cuomo wrote in X. “Welcome to the heavyweight fight, @zohrankmamdani. This is a career of two men. You are already tired. It is the second round.”

In case you have forgotten, I am Andrew Cuomo, son of Mario, grandson of Andrea.

Welcome to the heavyweight fight, @zohrankmamdani

This is a career of two men. You are tired. It’s just the second round.

McCain, who has never shunned to raise his own father, the late Republican senator of Arizona John McCain, was not impressed by the bold statement.

“You lost a primary one and Mamdani will overcome you in general by 80 points because you are lazy, corrupt, right and thought that they literally owe you every thing for which the American public is cully,” he wrote in X. “Your legacy is nothing more than a loser out of contact.”

The jactance of Cuomo occurred two hours after a position in which he criticized Mamdani for living in an apartment regulated by rent that costs $ 2,300 per month. The former governor said the apartment should go to a hypothetical “single mother and her children” who currently reside in “a homeless refuge.”
