Early in the Covid-19 pandemic, they won widespread praise. But the political fortunes of governors Andrew Cuomo of New York and Gavin Newsom of California have sharply reversed.

Cuomo, who literally wrote the book on his virus success, faces growing scrutiny of his handling of nursing-home deaths in his state. Newsom, elected with 62% of the vote two years ago, is under threat of a recall. Both have seen approval ratings retreat from mid-pandemic highs as many businesses and schools remain shut and the vaccine rollout keeps sputtering.

the criticism of how the Democratic leaders handled it -- have hammered the political prospects of both men, who are widely believed to harbor presidential ambitions.

On Jan. 28, state Attorney General Letitia James released a damning report that said Cuomo’s guidance on admitting coronavirus patients to nursing homes may have put healthy residents at risk

“It’s a real black eye for the administration that so many people died, that were basically trapped and probably not getting the support that they needed,“ said Burnett.

Cuomo Is a nasty human being. His former wife, his former girlfriend and anyone that comes in contact with him wants to get away from him.

Cuomo lied, Grandma died.

Thank God my mom passed in 2012. She didn’t have to go through this nightmare in a NYS nursing home. The place where she had been lost something like 45 patients out of 135 due to this insane policy. Its been a holocaust.

The media exists to tear people and organizations down. If the media and the DemoRATs have no common enemy (Trump) then they will turn on each other. Thus it is with any criminal cabal. As any criminal gang succeeds in their heist they fall on each other. And so we shall see.

When I’m king, clumsy mixed metaphors in headlines will become a capital offense.

Ya think? He killed 10,000 seniors and the Congress is all up in arms about a rowdy stampede of tourists in the Capital?
