“The results are not surprising, as Gov. Cuomo’s response to the coronavirus crisis has been an insult to New Yorkers,” said CAGW President Tom Schatz. “After more than 1.1 million New Yorkers have been infected and more than 39,208 have died from COVID-19, one would think Gov. Cuomo would act quickly to get the vaccine out and the virus under control. For politicizing a lifesaving COVID-19 vaccine, Gov. Cuomo deserves the distinction of 2021 Porker of the Year.”
Mr. Cuomo’s office did not immediately respond to The Washington Times’ request for a comment on the award.
The governor made headlines in 2020 holding TV coronavirus briefings, ordering business shutdowns to fight the pandemic and feuding with the Trump administration over the COVID-19 response.

Colorado’s newest congress member is off to a rocky start.
Less than a week after being sworn in, freshman Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert is facing calls for her resignation or expulsion from Congress over tweets she sent on the day of the Capitol riot.
Boebert tweeted that members were locked in the House chamber and then, a minute later, that Speaker Nancy Pelosi “has been removed from the chambers.” Earlier in the day, she tweeted “Today is 1776,” which her critics view as a call for armed revolution.
