New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is calling for the state legislature to revoke Gov. Andrew Cuomo's emergency powers, joining nine Democrats as well as the state's Republicans in doing so.
Why now? One reason de Blasio lists is Cuomo's "Withholding of information on the deaths of over 15,000 people" in the nursing-home scandal.
While last year Fox News's Janice Dean, the New York Post, The Federalist, The Daily Caller, President Donald Trump, and others exposed and publicly detailed Cuomo's abuses, the mayor kept silent.
What else could have provoked Sunday's statement? A second reason the mayor listed is "Multiple instances of intimidation." Those, you might also notice, have been obvious since Cuomo first entered politics.
What's most striking is that de Blasio's call to "Revoke the governor's emergency powers" comes after nearly an entire year of Cuomo publicly wielding his power to destroy his own state, closing schools, banning businesses, shuttering churches, prosecuting religion, and allowing rioters to run roughshod over citizens and police.
The real reason for Cuomo's coming fall are that power and ambition have seen weakness and smelled blood.
Just as Attorney General Cuomo once took down a wounded Spitzer, a man who had called himself "a f-king steamroller," before taking his place, a weakened Cuomo now finds himself in the cross-hairs.
