Former U.S. Ambassador to Vatican reacts to Cuomo’s 'extreme conservatives' remark

The former secretary of Veterans Affairs Robert James Nicholson will be in Buffalo tonight. The Foundation of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Buffalo selected Nicholson as the keynote speaker of the "Making a Difference Dinner." Nicholson is the former U.S. Ambassador to the Vatican and former chair of the Republican National Committee.  WBFO'S Eileen Buckley talks with Nicholson about Catholic education as well as the controversial remarks Governor Andrew Cuomo recently made saying there was no place for "extreme conservatives" in New York State.
