NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo says America 'was never that great'
Washington (CNN)New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said America "was never that great" during a speech on Wednesday, drawing criticism from President Donald Trump and the Republican looking to unseat him in November.
Cuomo made the comments in the context of a larger argument about gender equality and women achieving their full potential.
"We're not going to make America great again. It was never that great," Cuomo, a Democrat, remarked at a bill signing event in New York City. The comment was met by an audible reaction from the crowd.
His comments were a response to President Donald Trump's campaign catchphrase -- "Make America Great Again."
