Fredo, Sr. Takes Unearned Victory Lap, Loses CNN

Fredo, Sr. b/k/a Andrew Cuomo, Governor New York, may still have CNN cub and younger brother, Fredo, Jr. in his corner, but he has lost Jake Tapper, from Breitbart [1]:

Tapper said, “New York’s Democratic governor Andrew Cuomo seems to be on something of a victory tour congratulating the state and himself for defeating the virus. Even selling this poster, which shows his state getting over the mountain by bringing down the curve during the 111 days of hell, as the governor put it.”

He continued, “The poster includes references his daughters, a boyfriend, little inside jokes. There are no illustrations, however, of the more than 32,000 dead New Yorkers, the highest death toll by far of any state. No rendering on that poster of criticism that Governor Cuomo ignored warnings, no depiction of the study that he could have saved thousands of lives had he and Mayor De Blasio acted sooner. No painting there on the poster of his since rescinded order that nursing homes take all infected patients in.”

New York State lead the nation in Chinese virus deaths by a wide margin. New York lapped number two New Jersey. New York City served as the national port of entry for the virus. No mayor was less aware of the threat of the virus than Bill de Blasio. No Fredo, this is not a time for a victory lap.
