23 April 2021: More NY Lawmakers Sabotage Their Calls for Cuomo to Resign

Cuomo celebrates Earth Day with N.Y. lawmakers who previously asked him to step down amid scandals

It was just two days ago that NY state senator Andrea Stewart-Cousins, whose appearance with Governor Cuomo at a staged public event that anti-sexual harassment advocates likened to 'normalizing' the Governor's toxic behavior, effectively sabotaged her call for Governor Cuomo to resign over sexual harassment allegations levied by numerous women.

Now, two more NY legislators who have called for Governor Cuomo to resign have decided to chuck their personal integrity and appear with the governor at another staged public event.

Cuomo was in East Rockaway on Thursday for a press-free outdoor event celebrating the groundbreaking of the Bay Park Conveyance Project. Sen. Todd Kaminsky and Assemblywoman Judy Griffin, both Nassau Democrats, and several environmental advocates joined the embattled governor in applauding the $439 million project to redirect treated sewage....

Kaminsky, one of five Long Island Democratic senators who called on Cuomo to hand power over to Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul as the attorney general’s office oversees an investigation into his conduct, didn’t mention the governor by name as he touted the new project.....

Griffin, who has also called on Cuomo to resign, thanked the governor and his team “for their leadership” during her remarks at Thursday’s groundbreaking.

By extension, they would also appear to be okay with Govenor Cuomo and members of his administration lying to them about the full extent of COVID deaths among New York nursing home residents as part of the administration's months-long cover-up. They also seem oddly unconcerned about the cause of hundreds, if not thousands of those deaths being attributable to the Cuomo administration's deadly 25 March 2020 directive forcing nursing homes to blindly admit patients being dumped out of NY hospitals to free up their bed space.

There's a reason why COVID-19 was deadlier for seniors in New York than it was in every other state in the U.S.
