Cuomo Says Trump Right to Question World Health Organization on Outbreak Response
The Epoch Times ^ | April 25, 2020 | Tom Ozimek

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said that President Donald Trump was right to question the World Health Organization (WHO) for its handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Speaking at his daily briefing on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) virus, the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19, Cuomo said the Trump administration, which has frozen WHO funding, should get to the bottom of whether the United Nations agency in any way failed to execute on its mission.

“Whose job is it to warn of us of these global pandemics? The president says it’s the World Health Organization, and that’s why he’s taken action against them,” Cuomo said at the briefing.

A WHO rule for member countries is that they need to report outbreaks of new illnesses within 24 hours. Another is that the WHO’s chief has the ability to make public any information about a member country flouting the rules.

After freezing WHO funding last week, Trump announced an investigation, accusing the agency of “severely mismanaging and covering up” the spread of the virus in the first days of the crisis.

“They called it wrong. They missed the call. They could have called it months earlier. They would have known. They should have known. And they probably did know. So we’ll be looking into that very carefully,” the president told reporters in Washington earlier in April.

“It’s not my field but he’s right to ask the question, because this was too little, too late,” Cuomo said at his briefing. “And let’s find out what’s happened so it doesn’t happen again—and it will happen again. Bank on it.”

Mister Coumo is already FAKING toward the middle.

Might Mister Biden know that he's already (metaphorical) toast?

He wants money for my state.

I love Staten Island and I love(d) Manhattan.

But I’ll do just fine no matter what happens to the state or city.

so let them go bankrupt.

I like your way of thinking. I just know how NY would treat any state that has screwed up as much as they have.

NO PRISONERS

I think Cuomo knows Trump could decimate him after his handling of the Corona Virus in NY. He basically murdered thousands of old people in nursing homes by making them tae covid positive patients.

The campaign ads would be devastating.

I think he is waiting 5 years until this all blows over.

Good points, my FRiend.

However, there is that Dem narcissist imperative thing that might overcome the patience that you describe.

I might wager that he goes for it, and hopes that his two little friends, fraud and deceit, can sway the day.
