THE RIOTS, THE VIRUS, THE NURSING HOME DEATHS, THE NATIONAL GUARD AND MORE--CUOMO'S BLAME GAME

Excerpted---Michael Goodwin--as always, read the very lengthy NY Post article at the link below; questions and comments should be referred to the media source....SHAME OF ANDREW CUOMO'S BLAME GAME

............The NYPD and the mayor did not do their job last night,” ­Cuomo told reporters in Albany. “The police in New York City were not effective in doing their job last night. They have to do a better job.”

“You have 38,000 police officers. Deploy them. Give them support,” he added.

Cuomo, noting that de Blasio refused his offer to send 13,000 National Guard troops to the city, even talked about invoking his right to remove his fellow Democrat from office.

“It is a bizarre thing to try to do in this situation,” the governor said. “I think it would make a bad situation worse. Also, I don’t think it’s necessary, because I believe the NYPD can do this, because the NYPD has done this.”

There you have it — another classic Cuomo moment, one where he asserts maximum power and accepts minimum responsibility.

He has the National Guard on standby, but won’t send them. He believes he has the legal authority to remove the mayor, but won’t do it.

Thanks for nothing. Cuomo’s view of his power is absolute in that only he has the power to decide when to exercise it. He picks and chooses the opportunities that serve him best.

He had no qualms about forcing the shutdown of the entire state during the coronavirus, including city schools, despite de Blasio’s reluctance. When de Blasio later said schools would not open again for the academic year, Cuomo said only he had the power to make that decision. A few days later, he ordered that the schools stay closed, exactly as de Blasio predicted.

This is the same Cuomo who claimed, “I don’t know” when asked about his executive order that sent COVID-19 patients to nursing homes, where many thousands of helpless residents became infected and died.  READ THE ENTIRE ARTICLE AT https://nypost.com/2020/06/02/shame-of-andrew-cuomos-blame-game-goodwin/
