6 March 2021: Three-Time Cuomo Endorsing Newspaper Calls for Cuomo Resignation

Editorial: Resign, Mr. Cuomo

The editors of the Albany Times-Union, which had endorsed Andrew Cuomo three times previously as he ran for New York governor, now calls for Governor Andrew Cuomo to resign.

Amid an enduring pandemic, it is vital that people can believe what their governor and their government are telling them, and that the rules they're asked to follow and the sacrifices they're asked to make are truly in the interest of public health.

It is time for Mr. Cuomo to resign, and for those who helped him deceive the public to go, too.

The editors also note that Melissa DeRosa's statement the Cuomo administration hid the full extent of nursing home deaths in New York to avoid investigation by the Trump administration is false, since the coverup began in the early months of the pandemic.
