Gov. Andrew Cuomo just concluded his spiel at the DNC and it did not go well.
COVID-19 is a metaphor? WTF:
How on earth could the governor of New York say that covid is "just a metaphor?"

And he was legit serious about it:
He actually thinks this! He thinks the virus is a sub-issue to the racial injustice

Gov. Cuomo even lost Preet Bharara on that one:
I might not have called COVID a metaphor

And CNN’s S.E. Cupp:
No kidding. Sheesh. https://t.co/0PcCo07Wk4

Gov. Cuomo went on to blame the federal government for his failed leadership in the state:
Allowing Cuomo to blame the Federal government for New York's coronavirus problems is some chutzpah.

“Some real top-shelf nonsense”:
Andrew Cuomo bragging about how well NY handled coronavirus is some real top-shelf nonsense

Why did Joe Biden think this would be a good idea?
Why would you bring a governor on to say "All these dead people in my state are not my fault by Washington's"?

This is obscene.

The clown also called it the “European Virus”:
Holy crap, Cuomo just went with "European Virus" in his speech.

And while we’re at it, what about that independent investigation, governor?
Quick reminder while Cuomo drones on about leadership and accountability, he's refusing an independent investigation into his order to nursing homes to accept Covid-positive patients, and keeping secret the data that could provide an accurate death toll. https://t.co/PGNWEiV30O

It’s LONG overdue:
Reminder that Andrew Cuomo's administration is knowingly undercounting nursing home deaths and has been doing so for months: https://t.co/O6dULIhDDp
