NEW YORK One year ago, Governor Andrew Cuomo’s performance at COVID-19’s onset made him the darling of the American Left. Some considered him a potential white knight who could rescue Democrats, if the other presidential candidates stumbled.
Today, Cuomo is a failed jockey atop a crippled donkey. His skull pounds from ethics headaches tied to COVID deaths in nursing homes, a cover-up of related fatality data, and matching migraines stemming from sexual-harassment allegations. Amid calls for his resignation or impeachment, Cuomo recently moaned, “I am not part of the political club.”
This whine was shocking, coming from a governor, former state attorney general, federal Cabinet alumnus, “son and chief political adviser” of a governor, brother of a network anchor, and ex-husband of a Kennedy. Only Earth’s core is a bigger insider.
