1. Oh, my... he is still going off on McConnell.

2. Kicked mcconnell's butt into next week. Thing of beauty!

[demmiblue]

4. It was.

And it is about time McConnell gets coverage for his antics.

I know he prefers to lurk in the shadows, so this was especially gratifying.

10. Yes, indeedy. Now, every Dem who goes on TV needs to do the same.

I love the way Pelosi has called out mcconnell lately, she's been fierce. I would also like to see Dems also need to shine a giant UV light on trump's administration stealing state's PPE, the federal funding cut to drive-thru testing and all the other dirty tricks being pulled.

3. He is really pissed off and I love it.

He is tearing Turtle face a new asshole.

5. I'm from New York and of Italian heritage.

I live for this type of response.

9. I am from New York and of Irish/Dutch heritage.

I also live for this type of response.

11. Well then,

[shockey80]

14. Cuomo is giving him a New York style attitude adjustment.

You know what I am talking about.

6. It would cause a MASSIVE dollar crisis if passed.

You would see gold at 5k with a week.

People’s life savings would be gone within a month.

Gov Cuomo knows it won’t get passed. The House would block it.

12. More to the point, he knows Mitch won't write that bill.

Even if someone else wrote it, he wouldn't let it come up for a vote.

[blitzen]

7. It was great when he said bluntly: "Mitch McConnell is a taker, not a giver!" n/t

[crickets]

8. I love it. Making McConnell own his selfish hypocrisy over and over is just glorious.

They both know that bill will never happen, can never happen. Moscow Mitch just needs to close his jackass mouth.

Oh, I love that somebody has finally stood up to Mitch and made it stick. Fabulous.

[Takket]

13. What did McConnell say that earned that reaction?

[SoonerPride]

15. He said yesterday that he thinks states should declare bankruptcy

And framed it as "blue states" should go bankrupt.

Clearly, Cuomo isn't having any of it

[roamer65]

16. States should issue debt and run deficits like Canadian provinces.

Fuck DC.

Also NY and CA should start clawing back federal tax revenue.
