Viral News NYC, a prominent social media account, recently posted a scathing critique targeting former New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo.

The tweet, published on November 24, 2025, alleges that Cuomo continues to blame Republican NYC mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa for his past electoral defeat.

"The former disgraced NYS governor — yeah, that guy who 💩-bombed Inna Vernikov and Mayor Adams right after they endorsed him — is still crying that Curtis “cost him the election.” Curtis? The Republican NYC mayor candidate? Why on Earth would he just drop out and hand you his votes like a charity case? Bro, even if Curtis personally delivered every single vote to your doorstep with a bow on top, you still would’ve lost. You didn’t just fail, you spectacularly failed. You’re not “gifted,” you’re delusional, and the only thing anyone should be giving you is a mirror so you can watch yourself implode in real time."

Andrew Cuomo resigned from his position as Governor of New York in August 2021 amidst multiple allegations of sexual harassment, as detailed in an independent investigation by the New York Attorney General's office. His resignation followed widespread calls from fellow Democrats, including President Joe Biden, and faced potential impeachment proceedings. Cuomo, who had gained national recognition for his COVID-19 briefings, denied the allegations but stated his resignation was "the best way I can help now" to avoid prolonged political turmoil.

The tweet specifically references "Curtis," who is identified as the Republican NYC mayor candidate. This refers to Curtis Sliwa, who ran as the Republican nominee in the 2021 New York City mayoral election. Sliwa ultimately lost to Democrat Eric Adams. The tweet implies that Cuomo believes Sliwa's candidacy somehow contributed to his own electoral misfortunes, despite Cuomo not being on the ballot for any New York City mayoral race.

Cuomo's political career has been marked by both significant accomplishments and controversy. After his resignation, he has largely remained out of the public eye, though reports and social media commentary occasionally surface regarding his potential political future or past grievances. The recent tweet from Viral News NYC highlights a perception that Cuomo continues to harbor resentment over past political outcomes, even those in which he was not a direct participant.

While the tweet's tone is highly critical and uses informal language, it points to a persistent narrative surrounding the former governor's view of his political standing and the factors he attributes to his downfall. There is no official record or widely reported statement from Andrew Cuomo directly blaming Curtis Sliwa for an election loss, making the tweet's claim a subject of public speculation and social media discourse.
