Democratic Assemblyman Ron Kim claimed he received an angry phone call from Cuomo on Thursday after he was quoted in a New York Post article that revealed new details about how the governor's administration held back the true numbers on nursing home deaths from COVID-19.

On Wednesday, a senior Cuomo aide issued a statement accusing Kim of 'lying about his conversation with Governor Cuomo Thursday night'.

Komo is no better than a mafia boss. Actually that’s what he is.

Cuomo should be (but isn’t) smart enough to know that Democrats are as mean as snakes and vindictive as hell. If he keeps this up they really are going to impeach his ugly mug

So, in other words, Kim told told the TRUTH.

“I’ll make him an offer he can’t refuse”.

“Yes, Don Cuomo”.

Back when Cuomo worked at HUD he had a nickname in the Swamp.

It _nailed_ his character perfectly and predicted future events.

The nickname:

“The Undertaker”

Destroy must be the word-of-the-month for Democrats in power.

Earlier this month, Biden Deputy Press Secretary, TJ Ducklo, threatened a female reporter by saying "I will destroy you." over a story she was pursuing about him.

And I was under the impression that Rudy had wiped out all the mafia in NYC. Who the hell does this guy think he is, anyhow? We know WHAT he is — a narcissistic sociopath. Telling Janice Dean that “she should stick to the weather” while she’s being vocal about, and grieving over, the deaths of her in-laws. And telling this Kim guy he can destroy him. (I understand that Cuoma killed Kim’s mother with his Covid actions.)

Somebody in the DNC has decided Cuomo is a liability. And so the knives come out.
