The interaction was lighthearted and included laughter, with Cuomo expressing interest in dancing and jokingly suggesting he would accept a personal offer to go dancing.However,the comments have drawn criticism due to Cuomo&#8217;s controversial history with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/probe-finds-ore-state-dem-created-hostile-work-environment\/\" title=\"Probe finds Ore. state Dem created ...ile work environment\">sexual harassment allegations<\/a>,which led to his resignation.Detractors have highlighted these past accusations,emphasizing that Cuomo&#8217;s behavior during the interview was inappropriate and indicative of persistent issues from his past. Despite the criticisms, some close to the situation defended Cuomo, claiming the interaction was meant in good fun. Cuomo is currently a leading candidate in the Democratic primary for New York City mayor, set to take place on June 24.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Cuomo flirts with New York <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/david-krayden-trudeau-gets-a-pass-for-authoritarian-abuse-of-freedom-truckers\/\" title=\"David Krayden: Trudeau Gets a Pass for Authoritarian Abuse of Freedom Truckers\">radio station host<\/a>: &lsquo;I want to know if we have a date?&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2123886\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Former Gov. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/andrew-cuomo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Andrew Cuomo<\/a> joked with a radio station host during a Friday morning interview, asking: &ldquo;I want to know if we have a date?&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The flirtatious comment came after Excarlet Molina, a host of New York&rsquo;s 97.9 FM station, asked if Cuomo could dance merengue like<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/new-york\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"> New York<\/a> City Mayor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/eric-adams\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Eric Adams<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/3413764\/judge-blasts-dojs-state-secrets-claims-abrego-garcia\/\">Judge blasts DOJ state secrets claims in Abrego Garcia case: &#8216;Utter frustration&#8217;<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3414352\/government-accountability-office-doge-target-government-watchdog\/\">Government Accountability Office rejects DOGE effort to target government watchdog<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/3414321\/pennsylvania-democrats-condemn-house-megabill\/\">Pennsylvania Democrats condemn House megabill<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;Eric Adams, he has been actively engaging with the Latin American community.
