New Yorkers Paint ‘F— Cuomo and de Blasio’ On Brooklyn Street

Looks like that Fucking coward Andrew Cuomo is the one who wont be able to walk on the NYC Streets for much longer, and not Trump like he so bluntly warned him… New Yorkers angry with their state and local leadership painted “F—- Cuomo and de Blasio” on a Brooklyn street over the weekend to show their disdain for New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. The group that painted the words were part of an annual block party that also designated themselves as a “small business owner protest.”

“A few partygoers got the idea to paint in huge [letters, using] yellow paint with rollers ‘F–k Cuomo and de Blasio,‘” DAMN RIGHT! “The party continued. Everyone took photos. “It was a big hit. The crowds cheered, even the cops chuckled.” I wish I had been there myself… Sadly one of the many things in life I wasn’t there for but happy to see others do… But sadly the statement was short-lived and erased from the street by the City, according to reports.


In June, Mayor de Blasio took part in the painting of the words “Black Live Matter” outside of Trump Tower. However, the City’s Mayor later admitted that the proper permits weren’t obtained to allow the mural to be painted on the street. The not-so-subtle shout-out to Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio went up around 1 a.m. Saturday on North 15th Street between Wythe Avenue and Banker Street in Williamsburg, during the waning hours of an annual block party which this year doubled as a “small business owner protest,” one attendee told The Post.

“A few partygoers got the idea to paint in huge [letters, using] yellow paint with rollers on North 15th, ‘F–k Cuomo and de Blasio,’” the attendee said Sunday, refusing to be identified by name. “The party continued. Everyone took photos. “It was a big hit. The crowds cheered, even the cops chuckled.”

But word made it back to city officials, who evidently didn’t share the assessment. Bucking widely held notions about municipal inefficiency, workers from the city Department of Transportation descended on the display less than 24 hours later around 10 p.m. Saturday to cover up the message with black, according to the attendee.

“They told the partygoers it came from up top and they were told the sign said ‘F–k the police,’” the attendee said, though it was unclear whether the workers meant that the order came from top DOT officials or City Hall. The all-caps, block-length message was in the style of city-sanctioned projects reading “Black Lives Matter” that sprang up during the summer’s fierce protests over police bias and racial injustice including one outside Manhattan’s Trump Tower, which has become a vandalism magnet. Even while personally helping plaster that message on public property, de Blasio has nixed efforts to paint a similar display reading “Blue Lives Matter” in support of cops, leading two pro-police groups to take him to court.

City business owners big and small have railed against elected officials’ handling of the coronavirus crisis and its resulting economic fallout. The DOT and City Hall didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. The NYPD confirmed that a criminal mischief complaint had been filed over the incident and that an investigation is ongoing, but did not comment on the claim that cops laughed at the vandalism while doing nothing to stop it.
