Governor Cuomo Pandemic Update April 23 2020

"Here's what Mitch McConnell is saying.

15,000 people died in New York. But they were predominantly Democrats. So why should we help them.

I mean, for cryin' out loud, if there were ever a time you're gonna put aside your pettiness, and your partisanship, and this lens you see the world through Democrat and Republican, and we help Republicans but we don't help Democrats.

That's not who we are. It's just not who we are as a people.

If there was ever a time for humanity and decency, now is the time.

And if there was ever a time to stop your political obsessive politics and anger, which is what it's morphed into... now is the time. And you want to politically divide this nation now, with all that's going on? How irresponsible, and how reckless...

We operate with love and we're strong enough to say love."

Mitch McConnell ... federal legislator, distributing the federal pot of money. NY puts in more to federal pot than it take out. His state takes out more than it puts in.... it's your state that is living on the money that we generate. Your state is getting bailed out. Not my state...."



EDIT: a recorded version of this live stream coming up soon

Each moment of these briefings are so precise and informative.

To quote Catherine O'Hara's Lola Heatherton's character from SCTV... "I want to marry him and bear all his children." (For those as old as I am)
