New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio likened his longtime rival Gov. Andrew Cuomo to a dead man walking on Friday, saying it’s hard to see how the powerful three-term executive “goes on” as his administration is consumed by allegations of harassment and a nursing home cover-up.
Hizzoner made the remarks just hours after CBS News broadcast a wrenching interview with one of the three women accusing Cuomo of harassment — and new reports emerged that his administration manipulated the state Health Department review of nursing home deaths during the early days of the coronavirus pandemic.
“I watched the interview with Charlotte Bennett and it’s just painful, it’s so disturbing,” de Blasio told WNYC’s Brian Lehrer during his weekly appearance on the public radio station’s talk show.
“I find her just 100 percent believable and I feel empathy for what she went through — and she speaks so clearly and powerfully,” he continued. “That never should have happened and I think it’s just profoundly troubling that it did.”

I hope Coumo ignores the attacks, and just to continue to govern. They have their personal rivalry going on for a long time. We want someone like coumo that makes tough covid restrictions and listens to the Doctors
You’re obviously an old bachelor. You couldn’t care less about a woman’s dignity. Maybe that’s why you’re not married. You’re a dog.
Cuomo listens to doctors? Which doctors told him to return Covid patients to nursing homes, to infect and kill others?
Cuomo listens only to Cuomo.
North Korea has extremely tough covid restrictions.
Why don’t you make the move?
I’m not a caumo fan at all but listening to deblazio on this is painful. So dishonest and disingenuous. Everyone knows they hate each other forever
Much as I hate him I hope he isn’t forced out of office over “he said-she said” accusations.
Years ago when frum people were accused and I said that this is “he said-she said” you don’t know what happened and everyone screamed at me that nobody makes up false accusations, it is because of people like me that this goes on blah, blah, blah. I’m naïve or covering up for people because they are frum etc. I used to think maybe they are saying is really true
Today when I see a guy like Cuomo who I passionately hate and wouldn’t be surprised in the slighted if he was proven an abuser but I still think innocent until proven guilty I know I was right.
They were both coronavirused last year.
