Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Thursday called it a “tremendous personal benefit” to have led New York state amid the coronavirus crisis — during which he scored $5.1 million for his pandemic memoir.
In a speech to his fellow governors that was loaded with presumably unintentional double meanings, Cuomo told them that they all “have a new credibility.”
“Very few people were going through what we went through and we went through it together,” he said.
“And speaking for myself, it was a tremendous personal benefit.”
Cuomo’s controversial book deal is the subject of pending probes by federal and state officials who are also investigating his administration’s cover-up of the state’s nursing home death toll from COVID-19.
Cuomo — who’s further facing sexual harassment and groping allegations from a string of current and former female aides — also said during his speech that before the pandemic, students would ask him, “What does a governor do?”
...
Tracey Alvino, whose dad, Daniel, died after contracting COVID-19 in a Long Island nursing home, was outraged by the remarks.
“If that’s Cuomo’s best, I’d hate to see his worst,” Alvino said.
“Fifteen thousand senior citizens in nursing homes were killed because of his fatally flawed decisions that were not based on science…His personal benefit was $5.1 million in his bank account from his book.”

We’ll see what happens at the “Pearly Gates” a-hole
Book deals are just a sneaky way of slipping money to a corrupt politician in return for past favors or as pre-payment for future favors.
I can certainly imagine what Janice Dean has to say about this supposed “tremendous personal benefit”. I wonder if Governor Cuodos tells reporters that it is the end of the month when it is really the beginning?
Bertelsmann now owns Cuomo’s publisher.
The rare occassion when a politician actually says something truthful.
No doubt already relegated to the discount bin. Butt, he’ll still get his $5.1. Just another way to funnel money to corrupt assclowns. Not going to bother to watch where it shows up on the best seller list.
Q: What’s the difference between the Cuomo family and the Mafia?
A: Nothing.
..the subject of pending probes...investigating his administration’s cover-up of the state’s nursing home death toll from COVID-19... further facing sexual harassment and groping allegations from a string of current and former female aides.I'm sure those probes are going full force - same as the probes looking into Trumps financial dealings and tax forms.
Cuomo does what he does with impunity b/c he knows he can get away with it - the media won't call him out and he won't be recalled. New York is approximately 8-1 democrat voters. If that fails there's always vote fraud.
Like sending 9,000 ChiCom virus patients to nursing homes leading to the deaths of thousands of nursing home residents. Cuomo is a lying, murdering Demonicrat.
Surprised some grieving relative of a dead granny hasn’t gone after this ass clown who is responsible for 15,000 deaths.
What about the women who are charging him for wrongdoing and sexual harassment? Anything new about that? It was all over the news in March, and now nothing ... what is going on?
He should already be arrested, tried, convicted and on death row. How many old people did his edicts kill?
The sex scandal stuff was so trivial compared to this, but I really thought it would result in his removal from office.
Amazing how top-notch DNCMedia protection goes, huh?
Imagine President Trump with 1/8th of that!
Well, Andy weathered the storm. He’ll run for president next.
Didn’t they suspend printing and presale of the Fauchihuahua book?
Might that also happen to the nipple-stud fraud?
What morons pay this failure 5 large for a book deal? Just call it a donation with zero ROI.
