Loading

New York Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Thursday called the COVID-19 pandemic a “tremendous personal benefit” to himself, according to reports. During the pandemic, Cuomo famously published a memoir about how he dealt with the health crisis, to which he received a $5.1 million book deal.

“Very few people were going through what we went through, and we went through it together,” Cuomo said in a speech to fellow governors during an event Thursday, according to The New York Post. “And speaking for myself, it was a tremendous personal benefit.”

Cuomo spoke virtually for 10 minutes at this year’s National Governors Association, a bipartisan organization that promotes cohesion bethween U.S. governors. Cuomo had served as the chairman of the organization for one year. Arkansas Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson succeeds him.

Cuomo came out with a book on his administration’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Oct. 2020 called “American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic.”

Cuomo has Widely been criticized for his role in response to the pandemic in which the virus killed more than 50,000 New Yorkers, including approximately 15,000 nursing home residents.

Really! who is going to read this garbage? “Killer Cuomo-How I F**ked NY” should be the title of the book.

These people… they can’t help themselves, can they? Democrats like Cuomo exists in such a sheltered, liberal world where nothing but their leftist thoughts and behavior gets in that they cannot imagine what actual people think or what their arrogance looks like to the public.

This remark may not have been about his $5 million windfall for his phony memoir but is too close to call and the appearances are disgusting. Gee, another Democrat Presidential shoe-in falls. Do these things come in three’s, too?

The article is A LIE. Here are Governor Cuomo’s quoted words, in their actual context:

“In closing, I thank you. I thank all of you. I thank you for all the conversations. I thank you for sharing all the stories. I thank you for the emotion. I thank you for the support. These were hard days for us to go through and I found a lot of support in my colleague governors who, in essence, were in that same unique position. Very few people were going through what we went through and we went through it together. SPEAKING FOR MYSELF, IT WAS OF TREMENDOUS PERSONAL BENEFIT. Governors have a new credibility. Governors have a new status. Let us use it well and let us use it to do well. Thank you all very much.”

On the off chance that anyone’s verbal comprehension level or general level of intelligence is too low to figure it out—a possibility which I no longer rule—Cuomo was was stating that all of the things mentioned in the sentences immediately preceding the quote were of tremendous personal benefit. This is how paragraphs work, assuming one has sufficiently long attention span to string several short sentences together into a coherent idea.

Any reasonably intelligent person might wonder why none of the “news” outlets shoveling this horse manure bothered to provide links to the speech itself. They didn’t even mention where it was given, so you could find it for yourself. No, you’re just supposed to believe Cuomo said whatever the f*ck THEY say he said without question.

If reading so many words is a serious challenge, you can listen to the paragraph here:

He is,nt the only mass to write a book so did Hitler and Mao
