New York Democrats are lining up alongside Republican lawmakers to accuse Governor Andrew Cuomo of controlling the state through fear, intimidation and very personal threatening phone calls. Lawmakers from both political parties are piling on long-held criticisms of Cuomo Saturday as his office responds to accusations they covered up nursing home deaths from COVID-19.
**SNIP**
State Senator Alessandra Biaggi joined the steady stream of Democratic dissent against Cuomo being shared this week across Twitter threads and cable news outlets. Biaggi told The New Yorker Cuomo has threatened her career "so many times" through thinly veiled remarks.
Additionally, two-time Democratic House candidate Nate McMurray compared Cuomo's efforts to control state politics to "gangster stuff" in a Saturday Forbes piece. McMurray said he received a call from a Cuomo aide on New Year's Eve that opened with the greeting of "you motherf**er," and shouts of "you're done in politics."
McMurray said the anger was directed at a tweet that criticized Cuomo's reported plans to attend a Buffalo Bills game amid the pandemic. Conceding that he was "scared," McMurray told Forbes he took the critical Cuomo tweet down over concerns of a "pervasive culture of fear that has trickled down from his office."
Yuh-Line Niou, a Democratic assemblywoman from New York City, led an outpour of internal Cuomo criticism on Twitter, remarking Friday: "So many people have been bullied, mistreated, or intimidated by him."

It was his father whom the Bent One said sounded like a gangster.
Cornered rats
Hi father Mario the Pious was a thug, oldest son Andy is a thug, and youngest son Chrissy is a thug. Its a family thing.
I don’t see Cuomo going easily. This is going to be very interesting...
maybe they will pay him off
This is really amazing..... Cuomo has ALWAYS been like this according to NY democrats. This is who he is and has been.
The first time I heard Janice Dean talk about what happened to her folks and how the nursing home system was killing elderly New Yorkers I was a bit skeptical. Then I read Michael Goodwin’s piece in the NY Post (first reporter who talked about it) and he is a legitimate and rational writer and I was horrified.
The knives are out for Cuomo now. Bigly. One has to wonder if part of the reason is that he has pissed off most of his party during his time as a CNN created media icon. He even got an Emmy award! /s
“Gangster stuff”
Isn’t that what they gave him an Emmy Award for?
I wonder if he is smart enough to not cause a bunch of “suicides” and Accidents among his detractors.
Dems trying to look innocent as they start trying to frame Trump again and seek political momentum to advance themselves.
Dear Leader is eliminating 2024 threats. Obama loyalists are purging Clintonistas
I don’t think Joe will run in 2024. Most of the animus and outrage towards Cuomo is coming from New York itself. The DC big media and big tech are still trying to cover for him. Most of the stories are NY media.
‘Gangster Stuff’? I’m sure Fredo would disagree.
If this was the calls to the pols, can you imagine what the phone conversations with the people running the residential care facilities must have been like...
Hint, hint...
“The Undertaker” Cuomo is just acting like a cornered ‘Rat ... the rest of the ‘Rats should recognize this because they all act the same when cornered ... lie, deny, gaslight, threaten, intimidate, exhibit ugly sub-human behavior. What’s the problem? /S
They would happily skip any legislation whatsoever for two
years if they could hate on Trump full-time 24/7/365 for that
two years.
We’ll maybe not. Turning this place into some sort of
mind-meld between the USSR and the Third Reich seems
very important to them.
Leticia wants to be governor.
When it gets down to liberal Italians in New York battling one another publicly one is going to lose their political career
I’m guessing bent nose is done
Gov. Mario said that the use of the word “Mafia” was a smear against Italian-Americans. He apparently had some ties to the NY families though I can’t cite a specific instance (my work on an Organized Crimes Task Force targeting the NY Families - Gottis, Gambinos; Gigantes (NJ), and associated chapters (Chicago, Las Vegas, possibly St. Louis - the Syrian brothers, and Florida didn’t mention specific politicians though Byron York’s April 1997 article “Let’s Be Friends: A Mob-Controlled Union Delivers the Goods for Bill”, does give details about the Clintons and Democrat Party getting LIUNA/COIA money ($3 Mill) for federal job training money ($33M). Att. Gen. Janet Reno quashed the over 200 indictment charges against this union which would have led to the govt taking it over as well as seizing all its assets, worth multiple millions.
The whole story has never been told about how the Democrat Party and the Mafia helped each other (in NYC, NJ, poss. Philadelphia, Chicago, Vegas - Harry Reid n’est pas?, Florida and possibly Nancy Pelosi’s father and brother - mayors, Tommy Jr and Tommy III in Baltimore).
Cuomo is a gasbag and a drooling ape. (Celine)
