Cuomo was live doing his daily presser and has taken Mitch to the proverbial woodshed.

[PA Democrat]

He quoted both Mitch McConnell and Rick Scott of Florida in their hateful rhetoric over "bailing out blue states." Then he had a graphic with their faces showing how much more each their states receives in federal dollars compared to how much they pay in compared to the net amount paid in by New York and New Jersey.

He absolutely LAMBASTED McConnell's politicization of this crisis while people are dying and essential workers are risking their lives every day. He said Mitch's priority was his corporate donors while the Democrats' priorities were people including healthcare workers, first responders, essential workers and everyday people struggling to get by.

He talked about the efforts and generosity of everyday Americans and unveiled a huge mural of the donations of masks that have been made by people across the country. He called it a portrait of love and contrasted it with the vile political maneuvering by people like Mitch.

Very powerful. Cuomo is a leader.

[crickets]

18. That was beautiful. Cuomo had me in tears.

Bless this man for speaking out so forcefully. Mitch et al should just expire of shame if they were still human.

[CatWoman]

20. here's just that part

I just LOVE Mario

[bobbieinok]

27. This is incredible! Should be played by dems running vs Scott and McC!!

Should be played by dems as is 2x/day in prime time in every state in prime time.

Makes very clear just who and what the GOPers are!!

[wnylib]

33. Mario?? That was his father. The current

governor is Andrew.

[LittleGirl]

38. Thanks for the clip

I didn't have time to watch the full presser and nailing down this segment is exactly what I wanted to see. Thanks so much.

[Hekate]

2. Thanks for posting this. Cuomo is a gem.

[Frustratedlady]

4. I HATE it when I miss Cuomo's pressers. I learn more from him than the Trump administration.

I hope there is a video of the entire presser. He has the perfect timing when trying to get a point across and certainly isn't wimpy about voicing his opinion.

I could see him in the WH one of these days.

[winstars]

6. His pressers are found on Youtube everyday; in their entirety.. See the post above...

[warmfeet]

7. McTurtle needs to be thrown on to the ash heap of history.

Ditch the Mitch. Ditch Scott as well.

[lagomorph777]

8. Ditch Mitch, Scuttle Scott, Dump Trump, Kick Kemp, Cull Collins

[Dios Mio]

10. Very

very good.

[flibbitygiblets]

11. also Slam Graham, Burn Ernst, and Kick DeSantis in the Pantis

[lagomorph777]

13. Good ones!

[calimary]

28. Oh Yeah! These are fabulous!

[calimary]

29. Yep! LOVE these!

[txwhitedove]

9. Cuomo made me cry, again. His daily talks are a master class presentation of

facts, hope, humanity and Responsible Governance. At 69, my heart hurts to see what has happened to my country. Our citizens need Cuomo's example of thoughtful, intelligent and loving guidance.

[colorado_ufo]

21. My husband and I watch every day, and this is the exact term I used.

I said, "This is a master class. I can't believe how, every day, this man can give such talks. No one since FDR has spoken to the public like this. Kennedy was great, but he did not face a situation like this." My husband responded, "It is easy when you are passionate about what you believe."

[txwhitedove]

23. Indeed, when that person is genuine and truly cares about fellow Americans. FDR and

Eleanor were heros in my house growing up and with grandma and grandpa.

[whathehell]

34. Mine too.

FDR is ranked by historians as the Third (some say 2nd) greatest American president ever.

[whathehell]

35. Your husband makes a good point. n/t.

30. I agree about the master class

I try to catch Cuomo every day because I learn more from him than from anybody. Reminds me of Adam Schiff during the impeachment....his conclusions each day were also a master class of how to get across to people what you firmly believe in. One could not show that much empathy and emotion unless they truly felt it. Trump could never be so caring and eloquent because he just does not have it in him.......never did, never will.

[LittleGirl]

39. Welcome to DU Katinfl

Exactly so with Schiff. Love watching both!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

12. Wish he was our candidate. He is a perfect mix of passion, wit,

and competence. Exactly what we need at this moment in time. And when I say we, I mean the entire country.

[LittleGirl]

40. I agree completely eom

[Mister Ed]

14. An excellent summary. Thank you for posting.

I'm generally not free to watch these pressers when they're broadcast, and so it's very helpful when others like you are able to summarize them on DU to keep the rest of us abreast of developments.

[rufus dog]

15. kneel during the National Anthem and the hate goes on for years

Shit on fellow Americans and still retain support.

Some one try to convince me that there are any good Republicans! If there were good Repubs, people like Mitch wouldn't last a day as Senate Leader.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

16. Good. Meet the propaganda with facts and don't be gentle about it.

Make a big enough noise that it breaks through the death cult's bubble.

[JohnQFunk]

17. President Cuomo pulls no punches [nt]

[colorado_ufo]

19. +1

24. It was priceless. Go Cuomo! nt

[robertpaulsen]

25. Can we officially change Mitch's nickname to Moscow MOOCH McConnell?

I think Cuomo has made that case and closed it shut.

[eleny]

26. Pointing out how the portrait was the real America was the best

Whoever in his staff thought of that presentation deserves much appreciation from the boss. He has a heck of a staff and he's terrific with his grasp of the issues and tone.

I never miss his daily briefing. It's an informative and uplifting blueprint for the country.

[erronis]

31. Cuomo: "We versus them". That's the (r)epuglicon/mcTurtle's talking point

That's what they want the US to believe - that there is a "we" and a "them". They are really working on the divisiveness. Typical.

[BobTheSubgenius]

32. Because of very narrow circumstances, my step-son's business was cratered by Cuomo.

To say that T bears some animosity is like calling this pandemic a bad flu season. But, in a very close approximation of T's exact words: "I still hate Cuomo, but I have to admit he's doing a great job with this."

[Amaryllis]

36. He is also intuitively a very good strategist. Not calculated; it's just his nature. Brillliant and

insightful as well as empathetic.

[yellowdogintexas]

37. I am looking forward with great anticipation to Cuomo out on the campaign trail

for Joe and any other Democratic candidate. He will tear any of the opposition a new one. I especially want him to stump for Amy McGrath in KY

He needs to team up with Andy Bashear and go on the road as the "Andy and Andrew Show" Cuomo can be the attack dog and Beshear can be the calm and cool one.

I hope both of them get to have a big spot on the program at the National Convention .

[Cha]

41. Thank you, Gov Cuomo! Moscowmitch & Darthscott need to

be called out on a National level.. they're the poster boys for repub scum of the cesspool.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

42. He is excellent. And Science based. 👏
