[AUDIO] Gov. Cuomo says Boston bombing part of the ‘new normal’

Gov. Cuomo was on The Capitol Pressroom this morning and when asked about the events of this week, suggested that these ‘random acts of violence’ are part of a ‘new normal’ (h/t: Political Ticker):

It’s a terrible situation in Boston. And, unfortunately, Susan, one gets the sense that this is more reflective of the ‘new normal,’ if you will. So much of society is changing so rapidly. We talk about a ‘new normal’ when it comes to climate change and adjusting to a change in the weather patterns. ‘New normal’ when it comes to public security in a post-9/11 world, where these random acts of violence, which at one time were implausible, now seem all-too-frequent.

Exactly the kind of leader we don’t need is one who would suggest that the killing of Americans on American soil is part of a ‘new normal’. Why don’t we just throw up our hands in defeat already?
