Tucker had a lot of video from NY politicians telling people to go out and have fun in crowded places just before the shut down.
Cuomo needs to get NYS fracking going.
This entire story is just now really unfolding, and it’s only 4-5 months in. A lot of people thought that back then. A lot has happened since then. A lot of people still think that. I can’t fault anyone for saying something stupid about this virus and then understanding.
Jesse Watters showed a clip tonight...
Should be Cued up and ready to play here.

I saw a bunch of complaints about POTUS removing NYers from the Trusted Traveler plan. LOL From what I could tell Trump used that as leverage to get something done...not sure.
Looks like on March 1st - the date of the last tweet linked above - Cuomo really started addressing this but wasn’t yet aware of how bad it could be.
So, those NY’rs that do not “do” social media would never know?
I know, the idea of a New Yawker without an iPhag on 24/7 is likely ludicrous.

Don’t know about Cuomo, but some NY top dog named Oxiris (similar) did, and some NYC politician named Levin. Pooh-poohed Cvirus, and told people to ignore it.
