How Andrew Cuomo helps the poor by staying away from them.
He accuses Mamdani of living too modestly.
Andrew Cuomo @andrewcuomo tweeted:
Somewhere last night in New York City, a single mother and her children slept at a homeless shelter because you, Assemblyman [Mamdani], are occupying her rent-controlled apartment.
You grew up rich and married an even wealthier woman. You’ve had weddings on 3 continents. You own property in LGTBQIA+ murderous Uganda. You make $142,000 a year plus stipends, and your wife works too, meaning you together likely make well over $200,000. No matter which way you cut it, Zohran Mamdani is a rich person. You are actually very rich.
While Zohran Mamdani selfishly squats in a modest rent-stabilized apartment—stealing shelter from the deserving homeless—Andrew Cuomo is out here doing what he can to help the poor. The hard work. The $7,800-a-month work. Because when it comes to housing justice, Cuomo knows the truth: the best way to help the poor is to live as far away from them as possible.
Cuomo’s Midtown rental isn’t just a home—it’s a statement. A statement that says:
“I care so deeply about affordable housing, I refuse to live in it.”
With a rooftop pool, concierge service, and biometric elevator access, Cuomo ensures that no unhoused single mother will ever suffer the indignity of sharing a hallway with him. That’s compassion.

While Mamdani built his campaign on small donations from teachers, tenants, and transit workers, Cuomo has wisely outsourced his moral compass to:
Michael Bloomberg (net worth: $96B)
Bill Ackman (hedge fund philosopher)
Alice Walton (heir to Walmart, destroyer of small towns)
Because if you want to fight poverty, you need people who’ve never experienced it.

Cuomo’s attack on Mamdani was simple: accuse the socialist of being rich. Ignore the fact that Mamdani’s net worth is 1/40th of Cuomo’s. Ignore that Mamdani lived in that apartment while earning $47K/year as a housing counselor. Ignore that Cuomo made $5.1M off a pandemic memoir while thousands died in nursing homes.
Just say it loud enough, and hope the media echoes it.

Cuomo isn’t just rich—he’s scandal-proof rich. In 2021, he resigned in disgrace after a damning Attorney General report found he had sexually harassed 11 women during his time as governor. The entire New York congressional delegation, including Chuck Schumer, Kirsten Gillibrand, and Nancy Pelosi, called for his resignation. Even President Biden said it was time for him to go.
But Cuomo didn’t disappear. He regrouped. Rebranded. And now, in 2025, he’s running for Mayor of New York City—as if nothing happened.
Because when you’re rich and backed by billionaires, accountability is just a temporary inconvenience.
Final Thought: The Cuomo Doctrine
In Cuomo’s world, Mamdani is the villain—not because he’s rich, but because he’s not rich enough to be corrupt. Not because he lives modestly, but because he refuses to apologize for it. Not because he’s wrong, but because he’s dangerous to the status quo.
So next time you see a politician living modestly, organizing tenants, and refusing billionaire cash, ask yourself: “Why won’t they just help the poor like Andrew Cuomo does?”
By living in luxury. By taking millions from hedge funds. By attacking the working class with a straight face.
Nicely done, Mike.
