Does Cuomo have public support for his new anti-BDS executive order?

Asked by DoNotKnowMuch (2979points) June 13th, 2016

As you may have heard, Cuomo signed an executive order on June 5th that creates a blacklist of companies and organizations that support BDS. His father actually proposed a similar thing in 1985, but for companies with South African apartheid ties. His son, however, just signed an executive order that would essentially have taken the other side. This will make a blacklist of companies that oppose human rights abuses.

Is this really going to happen, and is there going to be a political price that Cuomo – and Democrats in general – are going to pay for such a right-wing turn?
