27 February 2021: Frustrated New Yorker Buys "Impeach Cuomo" Billboard Ad

'Impeach' billboard vents fury over Gov. Cuomo nursing home scandal

We'll let this story speak for itself:

An Albany gun-store owner is venting his fury over Gov. Andrew Cuomo's nursing home scandal with a giant highway sign calling for his impeachment.

"The purpose is to demand that he be held accountable for the mass deaths at the nursing homes," Brian Olesen told The Post. "Our original message was 'He lied, they died,' but the billboard company rejected it."

The stark message — the word "Impeach!" in blood-red capital letters, next to a photo of the embattled governor — has been flashing on an electronic billboard along Interstate 787 just north of the state capital since Tuesday, Olesen said.

"I can't believe nobody defended these people that passed away and their families," he said. "Where were our elected officials? How did they let this go on?"

The article notes that Governor Cuomo's administration has a history of targeting businesses owners who criticize them, using their power over licensing and regulation enforcement to punish dissent. The "Impeach Cuomo" billboard story is also being reported in the U.K..
