Continuing further, Downey Jr. shared, “You are loved. All I watch is NewsNation. I want to thank everyone here for keeping it fair and balanced. And it’s been really great. Hey, I came from the Disney Upfront, and then I came here. I’ve known you for years. You’ve been a great friend of mine forever, and I just wanted to come and see y’all do your thing, and I’m very impressed.”
To which Cuomo replied, “Robert, I love you and thank you for all the matching shades of green you wear, and I’m happy you were here.” However, the Iron Man star, known for his wicked sense of humor, joked that he is announcing his candidacy for mayor of New York City.
