Ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s mayoral campaign hit back at accusations of racism over an AI-generated video it briefly released before deleting — saying the clip depicting “criminals for Zohran Mamdani” was mistakenly posted online by a “junior staffer.”
The video , which was taken down a few minutes after it went live on the Cuomo’s X account Wednesday evening, depicted a sloppy AI version of Mamdani, as well as a crew of motley characters — including a pimp, drunk driver, shoplifter and domestic abuser — sardonically cheering on the Democratic nominee.
“When a woman’s being domestically abused she finally won’t have to deal with some pesky cop to arrest the abuser, but now a social worker to help, you know, kumbaya the situation,” one of the slightly-off looking “criminals for Mamdani” says
