Andrew Cuomo's COVID policy killed thousands — that's what should have ended his career

If you kill a few thousand senior citizens through negligent policymaking and subsequently try to cover it up, that’s considered politically survivable in the current climate. Alleged inappropriate behavior around staffers, however, is a death sentence.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has been accused of all these things. While his sexual misconduct and egregious mishandling of COVID-19 are both heinous, they are not equally so. It should not be controversial to assert killing the elderly through incompetence is far more depraved than anything the New York Attorney General has accused the governor of doing to his subordinates.
