Judging from their responses this week, the Cuomos’ long-term strategy appears to be to hang tight and slow-walk their way out of their troubles. Chris apologizes for what he did but defends it as service to his family—a defense that Chris the broadcaster would never let Trump get away with. Andrew, the blunter of the two, continues to dismiss his critics. Earlier this week, the New York Times reported that Andrew stands to make $5.1 million from his book about the pandemic, and at a Thursday press conference he shot down a question that accused him of profiteering off of dead New Yorkers. “That’s stupid. Next question,” Andrew said. We are unassailable, Andrew and Chris seem to be saying, even when we do something transparently wrong. Come at us all you want because we have the will and the power to outlast you. If the brothers Cuomo pull off their ride-it-out strategy, which we can expect they will, prepare yourself for a fresh wave of moral layabouts who will imitate their moves.
