What Andrew Cuomo said is, truly, a scandal. It’s a scandal if he actually thinks it—that those who hold conservative views on abortion, gun rights and marriage are extreme, anathema and have no place in the state. It is a bigger scandal if he feels he has to talk like this because his party’s going left, its intractable (and extreme) base picks presidents, DeBlasio-ism is the future, and if he wants to appeal he’ll have to be in his comments what he says he decries: extremist.
Conservatives have been up in arms, but the mainstream press has not.
