Democrat Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York made sure his relatives were tested for Covid before the rest of the public. It seems every day new charges of corruption stalk this walking political corpse. Soon, he will give up the ghost.
Speaker Pelosi went to the spa, when you couldn’t.
Governor Newsom ate indoors, when you couldn’t.
Governor Cuomo’s family got special #COVID19 [1] testing, when you couldn’t.
The rules never seem to apply to the Left.

FNC: “New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and New York Health Commissioner Howard Zucker directed health officials to prioritize the governor’s own family and figures with ties to his administration in the early days of the coronavirus pandemic, according to a report Wednesday. Family members who allegedly received preferential testing included Cuomo’s brother, CNN anchor Chris Cuomo, as well as his mother and at least one of his sisters, the Albany Times-Union reported, citing sources with direct knowledge of the matter. Some family members reportedly received multiple tests. Chris Cuomo was reportedly tested at his home on Long Island. One source told the Times-Union that tests administered to Cuomo’s family members or associates were referred to as ‘critical samples’ and processed ahead of others.”
“In the early days of this pandemic, when there was a heavy emphasis on contact tracing, we were absolutely going above and beyond to get people testing — including in some instances going to people’s homes, and door-to-door in places like New Rochelle — to take samples from those believed to have been exposed to COVID in order to identify cases and prevent additional ones,” Cuomo aide Richard Azzopardi said, as he lied through his teeth.
“Among those we assisted were members of the general public, including legislators, reporters, state workers and their families who feared they had contracted the virus and had the capability to further spread it,” he added. Notice the “state workers and their families” line. So, they admit it but just think the public is too dumb to actually read the statement as written. As the governor is a state worker, ergo…
“You’re asking professionals who took an oath to protect a patient’s privacy to violate that oath and compromise their integrity,” said Gary Holmes, a spokesman for the department of health. “More than 43 million New Yorkers have been tested, and commenting on any of them would be a serious violation of medical ethics. We’ve built a nation-leading testing infrastructure to ensure that anybody who needs a test could get one. That work continues today.” My lord, what weak spin. But why waste good media manipulation on a political dead man?
