Cuomo jams Democrats with Trump playbook: The Note
ABC News
Gov. Andrew Cuomo is clinging to office by running plays made familiar by former President Trump, mixing indignant denials with what-aboutism and an instinct to fight.
The TAKE with Rick Klein Top Democrats are calling Gov. Andrew Cuomo's conduct "abhorrent" (White House press secretary Jen Psaki), "profoundly disturbing, inappropriate and completely unacceptable" (New York Sens. Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand) and "repulsive & unlawful" (Cuomo's own lieutenant governor, Kathy Hochul). Yet Cuomo has not stepped aside, as inevitable as his relinquishing of power may seem. He is clinging to office by running plays made familiar by former President Donald Trump, mixing indignant denials with what-aboutism and an instinct to fight to the end. "Trial by newspaper or biased reviews are not the way to find the facts in this matter," he said in a video released by his team to rebut the allegations.More Related News
