De Blasio says ‘thoroughly corrupt’ Andrew Cuomo must resign to save lives

Mayor Bill de Blasio on Sunday called on Gov. Andrew Cuomo to resign from his “almost imperial governorship” — insisting it will help save lives.

“He should resign right now because he’s holding up our effort to fight COVID. He’s literally in the way of us saving lives right now,” de Blasio insisted in a fiery interview on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”

“Andrew Cuomo can’t lead us into the future. We’ve got the people, the state ready to reopen, but we need to get him out of the way to do it,” the mayor said.

The mayor repeatedly took aim at his longtime foe throughout the interview, blaming him for the Empire State’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as holding up vaccine supplies for the Big Apple.

He also accused him of deliberately hiding the death toll from the virus in nursing homes to keep getting millions in “campaign contributions.”

“This was a thoroughly corrupt situation, and he just needs to resign,” de Blasio said.

But Hizzoner predicted that Cuomo will not step down and will instead need to be impeached.

“I think he’ll try to hold out … I think he is used to getting things his way, and it’s been almost an imperial governorship,” de Blasio predicted.

“But I gotta tell you, the folks in this state, and the political leadership don’t believe him anymore — he doesn’t have any credibility,” de Blasio insisted.

“I think an impeachment proceeding will begin. And I think he will be impeached, and perhaps right before that, he’ll decide to resign. That’s probably the most likely outcome right now,” he predicted.

De Blasio made the call without mentioning the sex harassment allegations Cuomo is facing

If he had been kicked out of office 14 months ago there would very probably be an additional 15,000 old folks alive today in the State of New York.

And there can be no doubt that the majority of those 15,000 would be women.

Wllhiem, just hush. Everybody knows you’re only ‘outraged’ about this Cuomo business because you want his job for yourself. I hope to God the New Yorkers don’t make that big mistake. It will be like the ruinous Angela Merkel years in Germany.

I’m thinking Cuomo has major dirt on his Dem detractors. That’s why he’s refusing to step down.

It wouldn’t be hard to discover. A common strategy, mutually assured destruction creates a static standoff.

Too late, Kaiser Wilhelm, lives are ALREADY lost.

What’s the latest word on all that money that disappeared under DeBlasio’s wife’s watch?

Still waiting for Cuomo to sue all those women and/or charge them with conspiracy and false reporting to remove him from office.
