Andrew Cuomo Heckled by Profane Activist Crackhead Barney During Brooklyn Church Visit [WATCH]

Mayoral candidate and former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo was confronted by a profane performance artist during a campaign stop at a Brooklyn church on Sunday, according to footage captured by The Post.

As Cuomo walked from Bethesda Healing Center toward his car in the parking lot, a woman known online as “Crackhead Barney” shouted at him from the sidewalk.

The internet personality hurled vulgar remarks related to the sexual harassment allegations that led to Cuomo’s resignation in August 2021.

“Sexually harass me, Cuomo,” the woman yelled repeatedly, as shown in the video. Despite the provocations, Cuomo, 67, did not respond and continued toward his vehicle while several churchgoers confronted the performer.

The woman escalated her language, yelling even more inflammatory comments, including demands for Cuomo to “rape me,” an accusation that has never been made against him.

Church members intervened to prevent the woman from approaching the former governor’s vehicle as he drove away.

Crackhead Barney also posted additional footage online showing her shouting at Cuomo as he entered Bethesda Healing Center earlier that day.

In the video, she can be heard screaming, “Come on, Cuomo, sexually harass me. You can sexually assault me for permission,” from behind a church fence.

Cuomo, who has consistently led polling in the New York City mayoral race, has never been accused of sexual assault, though he faced multiple accusations of sexual harassment during his time as governor. Cuomo has denied all allegations of wrongdoing.

Following the incident, Cuomo’s team declined to comment on the confrontation.

Sunday’s appearance at Bethesda Healing Center was one of two stops Cuomo made at Brooklyn churches during the day. He also visited Salem Missionary Baptist Church earlier in the morning.

Cuomo later referenced the visits on social media, posting:

“This morning in Brooklyn, I spent time with the communities at Salem Missionary Baptist Church and Bethesda Healing Center and spoke about the New York we can be. It does not have to be this way. Together we can build a safe, affordable, and fair city for each and every New Yorker.”

Cuomo’s return to public campaigning comes as he seeks to rehabilitate his political career following his resignation nearly three years ago.
