The Republicans preemptively try to take out anybody that they think shows real potential in the future they doing it to Newsome right now

I’m not saying he didn’t make any mistakes. I’m sure he did. it’s a hell of a situation to have to deal with all of this stuff.

I don’t know if what he did was right or wrong or what actually happened. It sounds like Kim is pretty upset and probably has a point but all in all I think Cuomo is terrific.

this all can be traced back to Trump. Trump hates Cuomo for upstaging him. Plus Cuomo is a bonified presidential contender

Who is a Democrat and is currently investigating Trump. All democrats’ problems can’t be blamed on republicans.

If Ted Cruz was murdered on the floor of the Senate and the Senste served as the jury, there would not be one vote to convict his killer.

if I remember rightly which I may not. I hope he didn't do it of course but I do sniff a rodent. Not Kim necessarily, he seems like a decent guy too. I'm on the other side of an ocean and a continent.

11. Fallout mounts over nursing home deaths as New York lawmaker says Cuomo vowed to 'destroy' him

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/02/17/cuomo-ron-kim-call-nursing-home-deaths/

Fallout from New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s handling of nursing home coronavirus data worsened Wednesday as a critical state legislator — a fellow Democrat — accused the governor of threatening to “destroy” him during an angry call.

New York Assemblyman Ron Kim said the governor ordered him in a call last Thursday to backtrack in defense of a top Cuomo aide whose leaked comments on nursing home data sparked a bipartisan furor and led federal prosecutors and the FBI to open an investigation. An adviser to Cuomo said Wednesday that Kim was “lying” about the conversation. The governor also lashed out at Kim during a news conference, saying the lawmaker has a “long and hostile relationship” with his office.

The bitter public feud underscored widening political rifts over the Cuomo administration’s months-long withholding of data about nursing home residents who died of covid-19 in outside facilities, as more Democratic and Republican lawmakers allege that the governor obstructed justice. Legislators are calling for Cuomo to face criminal investigations and be stripped of his expanded pandemic emergency powers after his aide’s admissions last week fueled allegations of a coverup.

In a call with Democratic state legislators on Feb. 10 that was first reported by the New York Post, secretary to the governor Melissa DeRosa said officials feared last year after inquiries from the Justice Department that the nursing home data would be “used against us,” and “we froze.” Amid a public outcry, DeRosa sought to clarify, saying officials “needed to temporarily set aside” New York legislators’ request for information last year while they dealt with federal inquiries.
