Disgraced former Gov Andrew Cuomo’s campaign for mayor of New York City is looking to make prostitution a key issue, claiming that leftist Dem nominee Zohran Mamdani “would bring New York City back to the bad old days of rampant crime, decreased public safety and deteriorating quality of life,” by legalizing hookering if/when he’s elected to lead Gotham, the New York Times reports.
Mamdani has never actually even addressed prostitution as an issue in his campaign but Cuomo might as well run with it just for the laughs. He should even get into parsing how stuff like the call girl scandal that felled his gubernatorial predecessor Eliot Spitzer wasn’t like “real” prostitution because Spitzer arranged the date properly and what not while focusing on the street-level hookering.
