FLASHBACK: Gov. Andrew Cuomo admits he's MUCH more than 'an undocumented person'

It was just earlier this week when New York Magazine declared that “Sex and the City” actress Cynthia Nixon had “already won” in her fight against New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo by forcing him even further left through her campaign challenge.

That move seemed awfully transparent last week when, as Twitchy reported, Cuomo declared that he was “an undocumented person,” despite having been born in New York City.

That ridiculous quote got people digging on Twitter, and they struck gold with this quote from January 2017:

As a New Yorker, I am a Muslim. I am a Jew. I am Black. I am gay. I am a woman seeking to control her body. We are one New York. pic.twitter.com/peOL9x2ltl

Keep in mind this video is from 2017, but it certainly looks like a preview of the 2018 campaign for governor.

You are literally none of those things. How do NY'ers not find this offensive? https://t.co/I2VZ9GkZb9

What is cultural appropriation? Isn’t it when you claim an identity or association with a particular culture, without having any real or justifiable connection with that culture? https://t.co/kwskdQh90l

This is patently stupid to anyone with an iota of sense. Cuomo thinks this can help him maintain supporters. Either he's an idiot, or he honestly believes the people who voted for him are morons. https://t.co/q1848VVjPn
