Ron Kim, NY Dem threatened by Cuomo, says he won't support him politically amid nursing home scandal
Fox News
New York State Assemblyman Ron Kim -- who said Gov. Andrew Cuomo threatened to ruin his career for speaking out against his mishandling of the nursing home crisis during the coronavirus pandemic -- says he will not be supporting the governor politically anymore.
Kim, a Democrat who is also the chair of the state's Standing Committee on Aging, accused Cuomo of "abusing his power" by trying to pressure lawmakers into backing admissions by his top aide that the administration purposely withheld data on nursing home deaths from Justice Department (DOJ) investigators. Melissa DeRosa, secretary to the governor, made the stunning revelation during a Zoom call with state legislators earlier this month. "He laid out how he was going to come out to the public and tell everyone how bad of a human being I am. And they would ruin my career. I mean, the way that he presented himself… It left my wife in tears for 2 hours," Kim said on Fox News' "CAVUTO Live" on Saturday.More Related News
