ALBANY — Gov. Andrew Cuomo explained Tuesday how he called actor Paul Rudd in a desperate attempt to help him wrangle a new video urging millennials to comply with New York’s coronavirus mask mandate.

“My frustration is younger people. College kids coming back from college, they all want to have a party, they all want to drink, younger people at protests are not wearing a mask, they think they’re invincible,” the third-term Democrat explained on Long Island News Radio.

“For months, the great challenge is how to get the young people.”

Then he got an idea.

Paul Rudd isn’t a millennial. He’s old enough to have millennial children, though his children are much younger than that. Rudd is over 50. Bizarre. Maybe next De Blasio can get help from those Beatles fellers the young folks are so crazy about!

younger people at protests are not wearing a mask, they think they’re invincible

For all intents and purposes, when it comes to coronavirus young people are invincible. It is not a threat to them basically at all unless they have some very serious health problems already.

The actual data from NYS as of today, shows that 118 people out of 25,395 who died of COVID19 in Cuomo-land were below the age of 30.

They may not be invincible, but college kids can do basic math and smell a scam when they see it.

It says Paul Rudd is 51. Why would millennials care what he says?

I have heard locally (Buffalo, NY) that Cuomo is under psychiatric care for severe paranoia.

What’s missing from the article is how much taxpayer money Cuomo wasted on this. He doesn’t do anything unless he can waste our tax dollars, and somebody gets a kickback out of it.

“younger people at protests are not wearing a mask, they think they’re invincible”

Well, something like 95% of people under 40 recover with no complications, so why wouldn’t they think that?

Sure, he’s 51, but he has the complexion of a 35 year old!

Compelled mask-wearing is essential to the Democrat/Communist Party’s increasingly desperate plan to attempt to stop Americans from re-electing Donald Trump. By making everyone look sick and scared by hiding their identity with a mask, the Democrat/Communists continue to slow America’s economic and social recovery through the very effective tactic of maintaining the elevated level of increasingly irrational fear and by keeping Americans distrustful and angry with one another in their agonizingly extended state of depression ... with no apparent end in site.

College kids know that Covid is harmless to them but they don’t want to be associated with what they consider to be Trump Boomers who are anti-mask. Their compromise is to use the mask as a virtue signal. They wear it in public but they still party without it.

Universities have responded by suspending their First Amendment rights

The face diaper is annoying, too. It is used to say this is Trump's America and it s bad -- vote for us lib/commies.

So many things or everything flows from Josef Stalin for the Democrats. Stalin has Sergie Kirov assassinated and uses that killing to start the great terror/purge. The Democrats murder cops, burn our cities, and apply sharia law to both sexes vis a vis hijabs or semi hijabs and blame the President for the evil they deliberately caused. They copy Stalin's playbook via Saul Alinsky.

And Stalin said the Devil watches over him before Alinsky praised Lucifer.
