They pumped Cuomo w/ more gas than filled the Hindenburg.

In Britain, soldiers and politicians who came out of the world wars with enhanced reputations were said by their peers to have “had a good war.” Similarly, in coronavirus America, some politicians have had a “good pandemic.” But no politician in the country turned in as Churchillian a performance over the past year as New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
Cuomo became a hero to Democrats across the country last spring, his stature on par with President Barack Obama, with live-streamed daily press briefings that projected steely resolve and paternal authority in the face of a deadly menace. The New York Times’ media columnist Ben Smith called him “the executive best suited to the coronavirus.”
Brash and seemingly no-nonsense, he was a welcome relief from former President Donald Trump, whose approach to the virus ranged from denial to conspiratorial gibberish. With Cuomo at the helm, New York would keep a stiff upper lip and flatten the curve by itself.
Yet Cuomo’s star turn is at odds with his actual record. The governor’s confident bluster has obscured his habit of dismissing scientific expertise in service of burnishing his own reputation and asserting his final authority over every lever of power and policy in the state.
Cuomo’s record speaks for itself, and it’s a far cry from the rosy picture the national media painted a year ago. His leadership bears little resemblance to the tale of triumph he presented in his premature pandemic memoir. New York did not, in fact, best the Covid-19 “mountain” through “the power of ‘We,’” as the Cuomo administration suggested in a bizarre promotional poster. Cuomo’s briefings may have been a comfort to many in the spring, when there was precious little relief from Trump’s gleeful malevolence. But it’s time to stop grading Democrats on the Trump-era curve.

Poor NBC they must have Trump as the lead headline or their news does not sell. Even with a piece that hits Cuomo, the headline brings folks in.
Right. “Trump” made him a hero. Talk about taking no responsibility.
Huh? Cuomo screamed for ventilators. President Trump and the federal government delivered. Cuomo screamed the hospitals were being overwhelmed; President Trump sent a hospital ship (which was never even used). These are just two examples of help sent to NY and Cuomo. So just how is Cuomo a COVID hero?!
No matter how many turds you have, none have a clean end.
one of the few things politicians are good at besides lying, is making themselves look competant when they are actually doing nothing, or worse yet, are doing all the wrong things.
Man, that's one of the biggest all-time whoppers there!
They pumped Cuomo w/ more gas than filled the Hindenburg.
NBC - - - - Needless Banal Crap attempting to seem relevant.
Trump?
What?
Trump sent the mercy ship and set up the javits center. Both of which cuomo rejected.
What are these people even trying here? Trump is out now they’re looking for his 75+million voters?
I knew a year ago what was happening here. How do others not see it. He sent sick Covid patients into geriatric residences
Duh.
.....Cuomo became a hero to Democrats across the country last spring, his stature on par with President Barack Obama, with live-streamed daily press briefings that projected steely resolve and paternal authority in the face of a deadly menace......
A massive hoax from start to finish.
Too many people continue to believe fake media storytime
The media built up 2 frauds to counter trump...fauci and cuomo
Scott atlas told the truth and was vilified
Desantis told the truth and was vilified
“... he is unlikable and incompetent.”
Cuomo?
No. Jerry Nadler is unlikable and incompetent.
Cuomo efficiently did this. He took away the ability for nursing homes to be sued shortly before this. He found a way to the hospitals that Trump had the feds set up. He is not incompetent
He is not unlike able as much as he is repulsive. People in New York who are infaguated with him seem to have a blindness. He is villainous
In our 1984 world of today truth are lies. The only truth is what the media says it is.
Cuomo is a mass-murderer who thinks he can get away with it. The media is complicit in helping him get away with it, but the people and the Lord above know the truth. Will justice be served in this world or the next? My vote is this world so evil like this does not happen in State Government again. The man should be a great reason to renovate ‘Old Sparky’ and Sing Sing.
No, Trump did not. The msm did. His mug was on 24/7 with every news outlet.
I can't tell if this alternate history is delusion or propaganda.
Why is it the brilliant news pundits and journalists never mention the financial gain the State of New York and Cuomo realized by sending Covid infected patients to nursing homes.
Right in the City Of New York, President Trump double parked the Naval Hospital Ship, engine running, with a thousand beds and was never used. Just down the street the Javits Center with 4600 beds and staff was available and never used but yet Cuomo was shipping Covid patients all over the State to fill beds in nursing homes. Follow the money fools.
The author.
Who instructed RATS to infect nursing homes and make deaths rise? WHO? Cuomo should spill the beans. What expert suggested it would be a good plan to send the elderly patients to nursing homes?
