In a disappointing but unsurprising move, Rep. Nick Langworthy (R-NY) has chosen to endorse former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo over progressive Assemblywoman Yuh-Line Niou in the hotly contested NY-10 Democratic primary. Langworthy's decision to back Cuomo, who resigned in disgrace amidst multiple allegations of sexual misconduct and a COVID-19 nursing home scandal, raises serious questions about the Republican Party's commitment to holding powerful men accountable for their actions.
Langworthy's endorsement is a clear attempt to undermine the progressive movement and maintain the status quo that has left so many New Yorkers behind. By dismissing Niou as a "communist," Langworthy resorts to tired, red-baiting tactics that distract from the real issues facing our communities. Niou, a champion for working families, has fought tirelessly for affordable housing, healthcare, and climate justice - issues that Cuomo and his corporate backers have consistently failed to address.
Furthermore, Langworthy's support for Cuomo is a slap in the face to the brave women who came forward with their stories of harassment and abuse at the hands of the former governor. It sends a chilling message that those in power can act with impunity, even when their actions cause immense harm to those they are supposed to serve.
As the primary race heats up, voters must ask themselves: do we want to continue down the path of corruption, inequality, and environmental destruction, or do we want to build a more just, equitable, and sustainable future for all New Yorkers? The choice is clear - we must reject the politics of division and backlash represented by Cuomo and Langworthy, and instead rally behind progressive leaders like Yuh-Line Niou who have the vision and courage to tackle the systemic issues facing our state.
