Fight over Gov. Cuomo ended Elise Stefanik and Melissa DeRosa’s 20-year friendship
Fox News
Rep. Elise Stefanik got a call on her personal cellphone last year, shortly after speaking out against Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s plan to seize ventilators from upstate hospitals in the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.
DeRosa "screamed" at and "bullied" Stefanik (R-Glens Falls) in an effort to make her to walk back her opposition to Cuomo’s executive order, which would have shifted the life-saving medical equipment to hard-hit New York City and the surrounding area, a source told The Post. But Stefanik — whose upstate congressional district has the largest population of highly vulnerable seniors in the state — wouldn’t relent. The two women haven’t spoken since.More Related News
