Nearly a dozen women have accused Gov. Andrew Cuomo of sexually inappropriate behavior, including his most recent accuser, Sherry Vill, who said became at least the second woman to accuse Cuomo of kissing her without consent - and she had the receipts.
Late yesterday, the NYT reported that the governor was busy trawling for a $4MM deal for a book about Cuomo's "Pandemic leadership lessons" while several of his aides were feeding deliberately false data to the DoJ and suppressing a Health Department report that threatened to disclose a far higher number of nursing home deaths.
The implication, of course, is that Cuomo did everything he could to delay publication of the higher nursing-home death toll number until he had received the advance for his book.
An impending Health Department report threatened to disclose a far higher number of nursing home deaths related to the coronavirus than the Cuomo administration had previously made public.
The NYT even speculated that Cuomo violated laws prohibiting using state resources for personal gain, but Cuomo spokesman Richard Azzopardi insisted "Every effort was made to ensure that no state resources were used in connection with this project." Of course, that's not an outright denial.
According to the NYT "a top aide to the governor, Stephanie Benton, twice asked assistants to print portions of the draft of the book, and deliver them to Mr. Cuomo at the Executive Mansion in Albany, where he lives."
Cuomo aide Melissa DeRosa played a critical role in development of the book, and the July 6 Department of Health report that basically cleared Cuomo and his administration of wrongdoing regarding its handling of nursing homes.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
