Things only got worse for Cuomo. When asked if he'd return Trump's money, Cuomo oddly said he "will be deeply critical of him and keep the contributions." So Nixon proceeded to tear him apart.
On Friday, Nixon's campaign released this savage response to Cuomo's statement. The ad brings up Trump's assertion in a 2015 Republican debate that Democrats he's donated to "are there for me" whenever he calls, and features audio of Cuomo on the verge of praising the president.
Judging by Nixon's many brutal attacks so far in the campaign, Cuomo should've known she wouldn't just let this one go.
