As the horror of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's mismanagement of the COVID pandemic in his state sinks in, fellow Democrats are demanding an investigation. State Assemblyman Ron Kim (D-Queens) vocally condemned Cuomo for mingling infected elders among nursing home residents throughout the state. Cuomo responded to this criticism by warning Kim "I will destroy you."
Kim called the Governor's threat "chilling. He reminded me that he won an Emmy for his role in fighting the COVID pandemic and that it was his word against mine—a giant vs. a pygmy. He professed himself undecided about whether to 'disappear' me or to trash my reputation. He claimed 'the media love me. They see me as presidential material. If you don't write a letter of apology and retract what you said about me what happens to you will be your own fault.'"
The fact is Cuomo ordered COVID-19 patients into elderly care facilities and barred staff from even testing them before entry. He barred nursing homes from sending COVID patients to the nearly empty naval hospital ship anchored outside Manhattan and the sprawling Javits Center field hospital that was given to New York by the Trump Administration—because, as Cuomo said, "sending patients there would've made Trump the hero of the story. That's something both the media and I determined must not be allowed to happen, especially in an election year."

Trump did all he could do to help but that lying bastard would not have it. I hope he hangs.
