After 57 hours of blunders, it’s no wonder he won’t agree to a debate.

NEW YORK, NY – In the last three days, Governor Cuomo and his campaign have committed a devastating series of unforced errors:

• The campaign made a failed, sloppy, sham attempt to show small-dollar, grassroots enthusiasm for the Governor.

• In a Trumpian move, when a reporter pressed Cuomo about his campaign’s lies about their small dollar donations, the Governor referenced a lawsuit he had against the reporter’s outlet, in an apparent attempt to intimidate. Governor Cuomo’s staff later said he was joking.

• In a press call that the Governor convened for the express purpose of slamming President Trump, the Governor refused to call for Trump’s impeachment.

• Today, a City Councilman said the campaign attributed a quote to him in a press release without his permission – this after the campaign was criticized for falsely claiming an endorsement from Indivisible Brooklyn.

• When asked today about whether or not he’d debate Cynthia, Cuomo stumbled and said it wasn’t up to him.

• He desperately tried to distance himself from Alain Kaloyeros — a man he once described as a genius, New York’s separate weapon, and someone he and his father fought over credit for — as “that SUNY professor.”

Cynthia spokeswoman Lauren Hitt released the following statement on the Governor’s 57 hours of disaster.

“The Governor goes on and on about his experience — but from the MTA, to the corrupt Buffalo Billion, to his own reelection campaign, everything he manages has been a disaster. This is what happens when government turns dynastic. The governor got this job and every other job he’s ever had because of his father — so he never actually had to learn to govern. He’s tried to make up for that by being a bully and raising a war chest so massive that it would scare away any opposition, but now that he’s got a real race on his hands, Cuomo’s house of cards is falling.”
