Gov. Andrew Cuomo has not only “ruined” New York, “probably the worst-run state” in the U.S., but the Democrat is a “thug” for weaponization of prosecutors, deflection on COVID-19 deaths, and “bully” shutdown tactics, President Donald Trump told Newsmax TV.
“With what’s going on in New York, it’s so sad, Greg,” Trump told Wednesday’s “Greg Kelly Reports” in an exclusive interview. “It’s so sad how they’ve ruined that place.”
Trump, once a proud New Yorker, also rejected the Democrats’ lack of pandemic leadership, including New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. But Gov. Cuomo’s writing a “negative” book about his pandemic response — “American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic” — when his state is worst in the country in COVID-19 deaths is revisionist history.

Mr. President:
I’m in full agreement with your assessment of our governor regarding corona. I am among those so disillusioned with the leadership of our state that I would seriously consider participating in volunteer efforts to make sure he is opposed when he next tries to run for public office, and to campaign against him to my last breath. I do, however, have a solitary positive thing to say for De Blasio. He has term limits, and we will certainly be rid of him quite soon (though not soon enough).
Moving away would be an option. However, we in the Orthodox community, require a community in which to live. While we are not attached to the boros of NYC, nor to NYS, we cannot give consideration to living in the wild, detached from our synagogues, schools, yeshivos, families, and bretheren. The notion of moving out is enticing, but it is impractical for the overwhelming majority.
But I have a different proposal. I would want to see serious court action that accuses the governor and mayor of egregious violation of civil rights. The appropriate term here is blatant, unbridled anti-Semitism. I would want to see these charges brought immediately, and the courts exact the most severe consequences. People like this should be forever banned from public office, and preferably to sit out many of their remaining years in prison. That may be much easier than moving out communities of thousands of Jews.
