The morning after former Gov. Andrew Cuomo stepped aside, Mayor Bill de Blasio on Tuesday wagged his finger at the disgraced Democrat, claiming his downfall serves as a cautionary tale for self-serving politicians.

Asked about Cuomo implying on Monday that the mayor is incompetent and he’s glad to see someone better take over for him, de Blasio sniffed, “Well, when someone disgraced takes a shot at you, I guess, inadvertently, that’s a compliment, right?”

In a Tuesday morning appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” the mayor lamented that the scandal-scarred former governor failed to use his last public address to speak apologetically and with “grace” about his state attorney general-substantiated creepy, illegal behavior.

“The bottom line is, it’s very sad that Andrew Cuomo could have had a moment of grace, could have talked about the women who he wronged, could have talked about the seniors we lost in those nursing homes, could have brought it to a human level,” he said. “But there’s a narcissism there that doesn’t allow them to see anything but himself.”

A recently vindicated, delighted de Blasio suggested the third-term Democrat resigningunder threat of impeachment shows that public servants who only look out for themselves and not their constituents ultimately end up facing the music.

“But in a way, maybe it’s a message to people in public life: You get that much power and you get the world’s all about you, something bad’s eventually gonna happen to you, because it’s actually supposed to be about something bigger.”

“And we’re turning the page now in New York, thank God.”

Speaking during a subsequent virtual press briefing, de Blasio breathed a sigh of relief that Cuomo had packed his bags and left the governor’s mansion. 

“I’m glad we are ending that chapter, and it’s a very sad chapter,” he said during his virtual press conference. “There could have been so much good, and instead we saw the corrupting influence of power. Too much power corrupts and this is a case of too much unchecked power.”

During his pre-taped farewell speech released Monday, Cuomo whined about unfair treatment and gratuitously took a shot at the current New York City mayor. Cuomo expressed hope about Democratic mayoral nominee Eric Adams’ “new philosophy and competence,” in a less-than-subtle jab at de Blasio.

“Eric Adams will be the next mayor of New York City,” Cuomo said in his last public address as governor. “I think he’ll bring a new philosophy and competence to the position which can give New York City residents hope for the future.”

Later Monday, Cuomo submitted his resignation letter, ending his gubernatorial reign after 10 years in office. Gov. Kathy Hochul, formerly the lieutenant governor, was sworn in after midnight, becoming the first woman to serve as New York’s governor.

De Blasio in recent weeks has offered kind words for Hochul, whom the mayor says he can partner with on governing unlike the my-way-or-the-highway Cuomo.

“There’s no question we can work together. From what I know, [she’s] a good human being, who cares about people, [and] listens,” he said on MSNBC. “We’ve had a number of good conversations already.”
