De Blasio accuses Cuomo of reopening fitness classes for ‘political needs’

Mayor Bill de Blasio on Thursday accused scandal-scarred foe Gov. Andrew Cuomo of lifting coronavirus restrictions based on his “political needs” — after the governor defied the mayor to reopen indoor fitness classes in New York City.

“I want to ask a question — is this being done because of what the data and science is telling us or is this being done for political reasons?” de Blasio railed during a City Hall press briefing.

“Cause it sure as hell looks like a lot of these decisions are being made by the governor because of his political needs.”

De Blasio’s remarks come a day after Cuomo — who has been embroiled in scandals involving allegations of sexual harassment and COVID-19-related nursing home deaths – announced that indoor fitness classes like yoga and pilates can reopen in the Big Apple next week at limited capacity.

A day before that, de Blasio had doubled down on keeping them closed amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The state of New York continues to make decisions without consulting the city of New York or our health experts or any locality and this is why we need local control,” de Blasio.

Cuomo: Billy, Listen. I don't know if you know this or not but you only have your local control because I made that possible. I'm what counts out here. Not your mayorship. And what the **** are you still shutting down fitness centers anyhow? Don't you know Trump is out of office? You're ****in' warned. Don't you ever go over my head again!

DiBlasio has as much (if not more) blood on his hands. He was the fool who, at the beginning of Covid-19, encouraged residents of NYC to go downtown and celebrate Chinese New Year.

That could be said of the way De Blasio is keeping everything locked down.

DeBlasio, who is dumber than dirt is doing this to Cuomo because he must feel Cuomo’s chances for re-election are slim to none.
