NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo tells MSNBC's Rachel Maddow that Trump's 'doing what he has to do and I respect him for it' [WATCH]

As we told you on Tuesday, CNN’s Dana Bash offered a surprising take on President Trump and the federal government’s coronavirus response (and subsequently got hammered by some on the Left for what she said).

Switching channels over to MSNBC Tuesday evening, we see New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo telling Rachel Maddow something that no doubt runs counter to the narrative that cable network’s been working so hard to set:

Putting politics aside? Unheard of! Well, often anyway. Did MSNBC like it? You make the call.

There's hope yet for some Democrats. Others (Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, the Squad, etc.) maybe not https://t.co/d9XQwdbjn3

It’s a good thing, though some in the media might not like to hear it.
