CUOMO IS NO HERO
Powerline ^ | March 27,2020 | BY JOHN HINDERAKER

Cuomo this week again bragged about his state’s open arms, which resulted in New York’s current crisis. The reason New York now has so many more cases of coronavirus, even more than California, is “because we welcome people from across the globe,” he said on March 25. “We have people coming here, we have people who came here from China, who came here from Italy, who came here from all across the globe.”

Nice going, Governor! Open borders take priority over everything, including your own constituents’ lives.

New York’s hospitals are overburdened and experiencing problems, but this is not a recent development:

A public policy researcher in 2015 detailed long waits in New York City emergency rooms. The head of the emergency department for the Mount Sinai hospital system quit in 2018 after less than a year on the

And the outcry about ventilators? State officials were informed several years ago that the stockpile of ventilators was woefully inadequate to handle a severe pandemic. But instead of preparing for a looming crisis and buying 16,000 ventilators, the state’s health commissioner formed a task force to develop a system to ration the life-saving equipment. The task force “came up with rules that will be imposed when ventilators run short,” the New York Post reported last week.

Now, of course, the same incompetent reporters who are swooning over Cuomo blame President Trump for longstanding problems in New York’s hospital system.

In a sane world, the idea that the governor of the state with by far the worst coronavirus record would be singled out for praise by reporters would be unthinkable. But of course, we do not live in a sane world–not a sane media world, anyway.

The word for him is not hero, it’s ‘opportunist’.

There he is grandstanding... a guy with nothing at all to recommend him - in ordinary times, but now getting the kind of attention no on addict could have dreamed of in his wildest pharmaceutical nightmare!!

Cuomo is directly responsible for pushing sanctuary state of New York. Bringing in millions of illegal aliens without medially vetting them. He was betting on the increase of liberal voters by betting on the come and lost. He killed a lot of New Yorkers.

"The press briefing from Wednesday Cuomo is sitting in front medical supplies as a back-drop, someone should have been aware they are needed for the hospitals to be prepared, the reporters standing there in front of him should have asked something."

I think the reporter questions are pre-screened. The questions are too sweet.

It's painful to watch the pressers but with every passing day he exposes himself as to what he is. The entire country sees it.

I wonder if Barr gave him a call about hoarding the ventilators.

And bedbugs.

I had a bedbug problem a while back and the exterminator told me that the bedbugs came from wetbacks and everybody knows it.
