“#Cynthia Nixon supporters weigh in on Cuomo’s scandals<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

Cynthia Nixon, who ran against Gov. Andrew Cuomo in 2018, isn\u2019t exactly telling New Yorkers \u201cI told you so,\u201d but her supporters are \u2014 and the actress-turned-politician is coming pretty close herself.<\/p>\n

Nixon\u2019s political allies began posting taunting photos taken during her campaign on Friday, mere hours after a seventh woman came forward and accused the governor of sexual harassment and top Democrats called on him to step down. <\/p>\n

\u201cLove this photo. Thank you @CynthiaNixon for supporting many of us when it was a big political risk to do so and for *always* speaking truth to power, then and now,\u201d Democratic Social<\/a>ist State Senator Julia Salazar tweeted<\/a>, alongside a photo of the two embracing at a political rally. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe coulda been like this,\u201d @HunterBoone lamented<\/a>, sharing the same photo. <\/p>\n

The former \u201cSex and the City\u201d star, 54, mounted a solid challenge against Cuomo in the 2018 Democratic primary, gleaning 33 percent of votes.<\/p>\n

The declaration \u201cDon\u2019t blame me, I voted for @CynthiaNixon\u201d was tweeted by multiple users. <\/p>\n

\u201cI am proud I voted for Cynthia Nixon,\u201d Democratic State Sen. Jessica Ramos wrote, echoing City Councilman Brad Lander.<\/p>\n

I guess Cuomo still has one defender in the wake of
\u2014-sexual harassment charges
\u2014-avoidable nursing home deaths
\u2014-unsafely built bridges
\u2014cover-ups galore
\u2014etc etc
How much more evidence do you need @CoreyinNYC<\/a> ? https:\/\/t.co\/JiROdMzDrr<\/a><\/p>\n

Nixon has ramped up criticism of Cuomo throughout the week as he faces sexual-harassment and nursing home scandals \u2014 and on Friday put pressure on City Council Speaker Corey Johnson to join the chorus of lawmakers calling on him to step down. <\/p>\n

\u201cI guess Cuomo still has one defender in the wake of \u2014-sexual harassment charges \u2014-avoidable nursing home deaths \u2014-unsafely built bridges \u2014cover-ups galore \u2014etc etc How much more evidence do you need @CoreyinNYC ?\u201d she wrote Friday afternoon<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Johnson \u2014 who recently announced a run for city comptroller \u2014 said earlier in the week he supported Attorney General<\/a> Letitia James\u2019 investigation into the accusations against Cuomo, but later Friday called on the governor to step down. <\/p>\n

Nixon on Saturday addressed the renewed show of support. <\/p>\n

\u201cPeople have been giving me a lot of props in the last few days for challenging Andrew Cuomo in 2018,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut \u2066@ZephyrTeachout<\/a>\u2069 is the woman who started it all,\u201d she wrote. <\/p>\n

\u201cWithout her thrilling, eloquent, fearless run four years earlier I never would have found the courage. She is the OG,\u201d she said, referencing Cuomo\u2019s challenger in 2014, Fordham Law professor Zephyr Teachout.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
