Following Andrew Cuomo’s decision to disband a corruption commission he created, Morning Joe hit the New York governor hard for his questionable tactics. The scandal comes after The New York Times reported that Cuomo shut down the commission when it began to go after some of the Governor’s own political allies.

the fact that someone so vile can rise to the Governorship of the great state of New York so effortlessly, should serve as a witness to all just how openly these evil principalities and powers, ‘spiritual wickedness’ operate in high places,

there is great evil behind this mans eyes, and not at all dissimilar to what currently inhabits the White House,

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara says he’s taking over the anti-corruption work that a commission created by Gov. Andrew Cuomo aborted when it was suddenly disbanded in April. Meanwhile, a Democratic gubernatorial hopeful is calling for Cuomo to resign if he was aware of his staff meddling in the panel’s work.
