Cuomo rips cancel culture, hints at political comeback

NEW YORK (AP) Just six months after he resigned from office in disgrace over sexual harassment allegations, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo appeared to be hinting at a political comeback in remarks at a Brooklyn church on Sunday.
The Democrat made a campaign-like stop at a Brooklyn church Sunday, delivering a speech in which he condemned cancel culture. The public appearance, his first since leaving office, came a week after Cuomos campaign launched a digital and television advertising campaign pushing a similar message: He was driven from office unfairly.
Cuomo quoted the Bible several times as he described his travails then went on the offensive to attack the political sharks in Albany who, he said, smelled blood and exploited the situation for political gain.
The actions against me were prosecutorial misconduct, Cuomo said, repeating a theme he has pushed from the outset. They used cancel culture to effectively overturn an election.
