cuomo, a dem governor with a dem majority state senate, has consistently run new york as a republican but because he sounds good on TV during an emergency, libs think he's some sort of hero

We cannot allow greedy dipshits to kill thousands, maybe millions, by forcing exposure to the virus that they denied was happening, calling the coming crisis a “hoax.” They built this by hiding and ignoring #covid_19; we cannot sacrifice our elderly to greed. Pass it on.
