Among the nation’s governors last year, perhaps none did more to hype their “leadership” prowess amid the pandemic than New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who took the extra step of writing a book about what a great job he did, all while the truth told a very different story.
How much did Cuomo profit off the pandemic and his Emmy-winning press conference performances? The numbers for his book were released today.

Let’s just say it looks like Cuomo made a lot of money off his state’s misery under the guise of the governor’s awesome leadership:

Unreal. He owes that money to the families that lost loved ones due to his failed nursing home policies.

And she did some more hammering of Cuomo:
He profited off the deaths of our loved ones and lied to sell the book. He is disgusting. https://t.co/de4Jyv69xH

Please remember @NYGovCuomo was given millions from @CrownPublishing to write a book during the pandemic while thousands died. His administration hid the total number of deaths to sell that book which should now be used against him in a court of law.

Every New York lawmaker should be disgusted by how much @NYGovCuomo profited from his “leadership” book. It belongs in the true crimes section, and should be thrown at him in a court of law.

I am furious.

Controversial? How about criminal? https://t.co/O17d0suyB0
