Conservative talking heads are going after Trevor Noah for previously coming out as a “Cuomosexual” — highlighting that his declaration of love for the Governor of New York has not aged well.
A past video of Noah fawning over Gov. Andrew Cuomo has been making the rounds on Twitter, as the politician resigned Tuesday following a report from New York State Attorney General Letitia James, which included 11 complaints of harassment and sexual assault against the New York Democrat.
Conservative commentary source The Columbia Bugle reposted the clip on Tuesday, leading to a round of mockery from right-wing pundits:

“Never let Trevor Noah forget this,” they captioned the post, which included a 2020 video of Noah praising the governor for “crushing it the most right now” when it came to his pandemic response.
The clip is just one of many that show The Daily Show host praising Cuomo for his handling of the coronavirus:
In the absence of federal leadership, governors are stepping up. Take Andrew Cuomo for instance: pic.twitter.com/SNhKUvCmpp

“This attitude of complacency or COVID fatigue – ‘I’m tired of dealing with the virus’ – the virus isn’t tired of dealing with you. It’s alive and it’s well and it’s spreading.” – @NYGovCuomo pic.twitter.com/cyOJUyLvqg

Just like with Avenatti, they want you to forget this… https://t.co/7hSZbO46a4

While Noah changed his tune since news of the sexual assault allegations and nursing home scandal broke, even posting a celebratory tweet following Cuomo’s resignation, conservatives want to ensure Twitter does not forget the late-night hosts’ initial take:

The big question right now is whether Trevor Noah and other celebrity Democrats still consider themselves, “Cuomosexuals.”
Yes, that is what they called themselves. Watch this. pic.twitter.com/kUYRqUwrxv— Brian Lilley (@brianlilley) August 10, 2021

I actually think Trevor Noah, Stephen Colbert and a slew of others crushing on Cuomo for his pandemic response while ignoring a decades worth of unethical practices and Cuomo’s involvement emboldening the IDC + GOP to block progressive legislation *should* be called out, actually https://t.co/zQ89ysKYpI
