New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo may be facing something of an embarrassment, thanks to a federal judge’s ruling that a lawsuit filed by the National Rifle Association asserting that the governor, according to the Wall Street Journal, “stifled” the organization’s free speech rights, may move forward.
It may be the ultimate political irony; an anti-gun public official in trouble for violating the First Amendment rights of a Second Amendment group. Cuomo ran into trouble earlier in the Fall for wisecracking that he thought America “was never that great” in a smack at President Donald Trump’s campaign slogan.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo may be in a bit of trouble as the NRA can go ahead with a federal lawsuit alleging First Amendment violations.
Judge McAvoy rejected some of the NRA’s allegations, for example, dismissing conspiracy claims against Cuomo and Maria Vullo, superintendent of the Department of Financial Services. Several other allegations were also dismissed.
This could be one worth watching.
Will the NRA be victorious? What penalty should Cuomo face? Share your answers in the comment section.
Governor Cuomo is a very disturbed man and needs to resign his office. He should be running a communist state for Russia not the great State of New York. I hope the people of New York speak up and throw this bum out of office. He is a disgrace to the Italian-American community, spitting on the memories of those who served in all the World Wars with honor to preserve freedom for America and the World.
