Sadly, as long as it's not an openly direct threat which can't be interpreted any other way, our "free speech" laws will usually provide the cover to allow it. Even if Cuomo said "I'll kill any Democrat who doesn't vote for me," there's a very strong chance he'd get away with it because the target of his threat is still too vague to be taken seriously.
