NEW YORK Mayor Bill de Blasio ripped Gov. Andrew Cuomo Thursday morning over comments the governor made about New York City during a press conference in which he discussed allegations of sexual harassment, including two from former staff members in his administration.
Cuomo was “disrespectful to the people of New York City,” de Blasio said.
“This city has been heroic, the people of this city have been heroic,” de Blasio said. “You would think any governor would support that and celebrate that, not denigrate that. But clearly he’s trying to distract attention from his own problems.”

Is there a plan in place yet to help people get the vaccine who don’t have a personal physician?
