His defense is that other municipalities also do horrible corrupt deals and THIS IS JUST CAPITALISM SO STOP COMPLAINING YOU SOCIALISTS and also that some of his critics like the New York Times (owner/editorial blah blah) benefited from horrible corrupt deals which were so stupid because what company wouldn't want to be in New York City.
I do not think these defenses are quite what he thinks they are.
Aside from the corruption, I really think Amazon Cuomo truly believed that the people of the world (and New York!) would be so impressed that he won the Amazon lottery and he is confused by the criticism.
Somebody buy this man an internet.
