These days, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is probably best known for [allegedly] sexually harassing multiple women and [definitely] having the blood of thousands of nursing home and long-term care facility residents on his hands.
But it’s important to remember that there’s so much more to him than that. Like anti-Semitism, for example:
Cuomo was “especially irritated about an event celebrating Sukkot, the Jewish harvest holiday when the faithful gather outdoors beneath temporary shelters of branches and greenery. ‘These people and their fucking tree houses.’” https://t.co/neANawmTZz

From the New York Times:
He could also bridle at the indignity of voter courtship, growing especially irritated about an event celebrating Sukkot, the Jewish harvest holiday when the faithful gather outdoors beneath temporary shelters of branches and greenery. “These people and their fucking tree houses,” Cuomo vented to his team, according to a person who witnessed it and another who was briefed on his comments at the time. (The spokesman denied both incidents, adding: “His two sisters married Jewish men, and he has the highest respect for Jewish traditions.”)
Sure, Mr. Spokesman. Whatever you say.

Dear @NYGovCuomo, Succot are not "f***ing tree-houses," they are f***ing huts. https://t.co/rci5bPgKxm

I mean, it's not even a *&^%$ treehouse. It's more like a *&^%$ hut. https://t.co/zyrNdV7PJt

Also, sukkot are by no means "tree houses." If you're going to use any juvenile parallel, use the one from @theleaguefxx S03E2:
"Jew Fort"

Tree houses AND space lasers?! I forget sometimes how awesome we Jews really are! ✡️???
— Jen SWEET VICTORY Cobb (@Snorrance) April 13, 2021
As a Jew I feel like now is a good time to confirm that the huts we build & use on sukkot are not in trees. Can you imagine me shlepping bagels & a fish platter up a ladder to a tree house?
If you’re gonna be an asshole try not to be so ignorant about it https://t.co/JMqAV4vilp

Jokes aside — and we laughed, by the way — this story really doesn’t help assuage concerns that Andrew Cuomo has a problem with Jews.

Puts NY's treatment of Orthodox Jews under Covid in a somewhat different light. https://t.co/6IXbkDLEiK

That jerk and his f&$?ing attacking observant Jews. Again. https://t.co/uOmeN7x9tW

Starting to think Cuomo’s just not that big a fan of Jews https://t.co/3cCWN0TWaV

Yeah, we all knew New York's government was targeting Jews all of last year, but this is obscene anti-semitism. https://t.co/4atdFuJ3Uw

Antisemites gonna antisemite.
Cuomo did nothing when NY was experiencing a year+ wave of hate crimes against Jews. Then he baselessly tried to smear Jews as responsible for the virus.
He’s a terrible person and a worse Governor. https://t.co/O7GtH81YHh

It wasn’t too long ago.
so maybe we shouldn’t have been fawning over this guy
— Jonathon Snyder (@JonathonSnyder) April 13, 2021
And by “we,” he means, of course, “the media.”
Let us not forget who covered for Cuomo for decades before finally doing this work. https://t.co/zyrNdV7PJt

Welcome to the party, pals.

This guy is such a dirt bag. I hope he is thrown out of office.
