Yesterday, New York Governor and all-around tough guy Andrew Cuomo responded to Donald Trump ordering a review of federal funds going to “anarchist jurisdictions” with a not-so-thinly veiled threat:
Gov. Cuomo says: Trump 'better have an army to protect him if he comes to NYC' https://t.co/pZjkqFC6Wq pic.twitter.com/l0GrLJXncC

This was New York Times White House correspondent Maggie Haberman’s take on it:
Cuomo with a one Queens guy to another threat to Trump about needing an army if he "thinks he's going to walk down the street" in NY. https://t.co/rBlytng9yw

Just a “one Queens guy to another threat.”

Way to journalism, Maggie.
"one Queens guy to another"
— I did not and will not vote for him. Calm down. (@jtLOL) September 3, 2020
A "one Queens guy to another threat"? Wtf is this?

Sounds like a threat to me.

Except one queens guy is the governor of NY and the other is POTUS. It’s absurd

It should be, but then, one “Queens guy” has a (D) after his name and the other has an (R). And we all know what that means.
Weird how @maggieNYT characterizes this as a “one Queens guy to another” threat- bet the sky would be falling if the roles were reversed.

I am sure that @maggieNYT would be fine with DeSantis saying something similar to a Dem President.

The Washington Post would be, too:
"He better have an army": Andrew Cuomo knocks Trump after threat to defund "lawless" cities like New York https://t.co/FdrCgaJpaY

"knocks Trump"… https://t.co/TrRmqH2MtU
