“America has been and continues to be the greatest country humanity has ever seen. Gov. Cuomo’s belief that our country has never been great is not only dishonest but also insulting. His choice of language reeks of political pandering and does a disservice to the men and women who not only risk their lives daily, but those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice and died under the belief that our country is the greatest the world has ever seen. Instead of trying to score political points with democratic socialists and outright communists, Gov. Cuomo should remember why his family, like mine, came to this country all those years ago – because it was and still is – the greatest country ever.”
