Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) called out her party’s push to unify around former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in his campaign to become mayor of New York.

Two weeks away from Election Day, Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani holds a significant lead in the polls over Cuomo — who’s running as an independent after Mamdani beat him in the primary — and Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa. Sliwa, the founder of the Guardian Angels, has consistently been a distant third to Mamdani and Cuomo in the polls.

The anti-Mamdani crowd — which includes President Donald Trump — has continually pushed for other candidates to drop out of race to give Cuomo the best chance possible to defeat him. According to them, the other candidates staying in the race would essentially guarantee a Mamdani victory. Just a few weeks ago, Mayor Eric Adams formally ended his bid for re-election to reduce the field from four to three.

As the election draws closer, calls for Sliwa to drop out have only grown louder. So far, Sliwa has stood his ground and reaffirmed his intention to continue running for mayor.

On Tuesday, Greene took to X/Twitter to question her fellow Republicans supporting Cuomo instead of the candidate from their own party. In her tweet, Greene cited Cuomo’s controversial Covid-19 guidance from his time as the governor of the state of New York.

Her post read:

I’m amazed at how many Republicans have suddenly forgotten or completely don’t care that Cuomo killed elderly people in nursing homes by putting COVID patients IN the nursing homes and enforced some of the most insane Covid lockdowns in the country!

But are now saying the NY Republican mayoral candidate should drop out so that the literal COVID Communist, Cuomo, can win and become mayor of NY again.

I can’t even imagine if my mother or father was murdered in a New York nursing home because of Andrew Cuomo putting Covid patients in the nursing homes and then telling me that I have to vote for him.

Are you kidding me?

If Mamdani wins, then he will show all of America what his policies look like in action and all the Democrats endorsed him.

And people can move out of NYC, I honestly don’t know how they live there in the first place!
