Andrew Cuomo Is Everything the Press Accused Ron DeSantis of Being
National Review ^ | 23 Feb, 2021 | RICH LOWRY

Posted on 02/23/2021 5:58:52 PM PST by MtnClimber

Throughout the pandemic, the press has been excoriatingly harsh on a governor who was slow to act, unnecessarily endangered the lives of the elderly, alienated experts, and cooked the numbers.

It just thought the governor in question was Florida’s Ron DeSantis rather than New York’s Andrew Cuomo.

After it has become clear that Cuomo’s handling of the pandemic was not just criminal in the metaphorical sense, but perhaps in the literal sense, the press has begun, only reluctantly and belatedly, to abandon its long-running Cuomo hagiography.

It never made any sense to lionize Andrew Cuomo at the expense of Ron DeSantis, except that one had a “D” after his name and the other didn’t, and one hated Trump and the other didn’t. The national media also labors under the assumption that New York must be competent while the Sunshine State is the preserve of the embarrassingly boorish “Florida Man.”

Good is evil and evil is good. I think I heard that somewhere before.

We’re in a Soviet era mode of operation.
A unified media in support of a leftist government.

I agree. DeSantis is too conservative for Lowry. First time DeSantis says the Democrats are lying, Lowery will drop him for being to devisive.

His lefty money well is running dry so he’ll come back over and want the dumb right money. He knows there are suckers on both sides. I won’t fall for it or click any link with that POS in it.

Yes, I know about Rich the RINO. I guess maybe he lost his audience and had to change his tune for a bit.

Well the never trump movement has kinda been stained by all the pedophiles, grifters, and perverts in the Lincoln Project to the point where even leftys are embarrassed donating to them...so Rich has to run to a new spruce of income since who actually reads NRO anymore anyway?

Can everyone stop with the Cuomo articles? I’m reading his book, “American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic” and you guys are ruining it with all of these revelations of him murdering nursing home residents and then lying about their deaths.
