‘Shameless gall’: Andrew Cuomo’s comment about what it takes to be a New Yorker blows up in his face

Today’s example of Cuomo shamelessness comes in the form of this attempt to praise his state’s residents while hoping everybody has forgotten recent history:

NEW YORK: Gov. Andrew Cuomo celebrates New Yorkers' resilience over the past year: "New York is a state of fighters… We are tough. You have to be tough to be a New Yorker." pic.twitter.com/5jEuNEiQqp

You have to be tough, and there are reasons for that…

You have to be tough to work in his office too apparently.

Gotta be even tougher if you’re in a #NursingHome #CuomosGottaGo #cuomoresign

Yep, he’s certainly right about having to be tough!

Or dead if you happened to live in nursing home last year. https://t.co/wDhv5ldiY8

Even tougher if you are in a NYC nursing home. Or work for this guy. https://t.co/T7ultmwxjm

As is often the case with Andrew Cuomo news, Janice Dean gets the final word:

It’s definitely tough to keep listening to this criminal. https://t.co/pxQLbbGZ7a

And he doesn’t intend to stop talking, obviously.
