So now that New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has said it’s okay for schools to open for in-person learning in the state, New York Dems are having quite the change of heart. Here’s Sen. Chuck Schumer, for example, saying on Friday that “if we don’t open up the schools, you’re going to hurt the economy significantly”:

Maybe they finally realized that this was a “political disaster for them”?
The sudden U-turn from Cuomo and Schumer on school openings suggests the months-long Democrat position of banning children from going to school was a political disaster for them. https://t.co/GOPDyrcua3

We’re all Trumpians now:
President Trump has had this position for months and Democrats and the Media have been accusing him of valuing the economy over human lives.
I expect the Media will now attack Governor Cuomo and Schumer the same way they attacked Trump. Right? https://t.co/uOv8qj1w9K
