Gov. Cuomo speech drowned out with Charles Barron-led yells of 'Tax the Rich!'

Gov. Cuomo's speech on Sunday night to the Association of Black and Puerto Rican Legislators was interrupted with chants of "Tax the rich!" led by City Councilman Charles Barron. Cuomo received a warm welcome as he began to address the group, but within moments Barron (D-Brooklyn) did a Kanye West and stole the spotlight. "Shame on you," Barron yelled at Cuomo after walking from the back of the Albany Convention Center to the front. "Stop the cuts," Barron said.
