Nixon and Cuomo Spar over ‘Sexist’ Room Temperature

Audio By Carbonatix

It’s getting hard to decide who the most annoying Democratic candidate for governor in New York is – Andrew Cuomo or primary opponent Cynthia Nixon.

Andrew Cuomo, who recently stated that “America was never that great,” is now engaged in a feud with Nixon over the proper room temperature for their Wednesday debate.

National Review reports Nixon’s campaign sent an email this week to the radio station that will host the debate, asking that the room temperature be set to 76 degrees.

Cuomo famously prefers a chilly room.

But, strategist Rebecca Katz took the issue a step further, by writing that working conditions are “notoriously sexist when it comes to room temperature.”

Cuomo’s campaign says the Nixon camp is simply trying to distract from the issues.
