As city Public Advocate Jumaane Williams said Wednesday at an anti-Cuomo rally, everyone knew what the governor was.
“This is who he has always been long before the pandemic . . . It is finally exposing who we knew this governor was all along, from pay-to-play with real estate to pay-to-play with nursing-home owners, to ducking accountability, to passing blame to everyone but himself, to bullying tactics.”
State Assemblyman Ron Kim said Cuomo threatened to “destroy” him unless he issued a statement to cover up for Secretary to the Governor Melissa DeRosa after she admitted Cuomo had “withheld lifesaving nursing-home data” from lawmakers for fear it would be used against him.
“Everyone in New York politics knows he has been abusive for a long time,” Kim told Bloomberg TV last week, “to his staff, elected officials, even journalists.”
So why did they cover Cuomo him for so long?
Because he was the designated foil for Donald Trump.
