Following positive press for his handling of covid-19 at the beginning of the pandemic, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is now facing an onslaught of criticism for misleading information about nursing home deaths, alleged bullying, and alleged sexual harassment. In this latest episode of The Point, CNN’s Chris Cillizza explains what this means for Cuomo's political future.

Do you think Andrew Cuomo will run for president in 2024? — Chris
Jo
If he do he has my vote!
You dork
@Left In Bama all I know is my aunt is in a home here and only the homes with separate wings took Covid patients. She did not contract Covid. There were different staff but still in the regular non Covid population a staff member did bring it in from the outside. We all relied on Andrew Cuomo last year for his guidance. The people at the home loved him.
Italians kiss people hello, goodbye is not unusual. Kirsten Gillibrand jumped all over Al Frankin over that goofy picture. I was a victim of sexual abuse and I don’t see these allegations as serious especially after Trump made a mockery out of sexual abuse his whole life. I don’t like the double standards. I don’t believe in 0 tolerance in every instance.
Maybe talk about CNNs stellar journalism on Cuomo in the last year ?
@Bimbo Baggins would not quite phrase it like that, but yes.
Ttis yes

oh yes
@Velvet Thunder FOX reported on the nursing homes at least 8 months ago……..
CNN favourite and Don Lemons best buddy ! These two are behind sexual harassment of men and women! They use their position to misuse vulnerable men and woman! I wonder what happens behind closed doors and CNN, there must be a lot of indefinitely going on!
@kay armstrong do you have a link?
I like how you need to cite sources from other publishers because CNN did not publish anything against Cuomo themselves for the longest time till this had already become a sh*tstorm 🤣
Are there any other sources than the NYT report and the medium post?
6:32
Michael Avenatti
Andrew Cuomo
Jeffery Toobin
Has a single ” contributor” at CNN lasted the terms of the contract ?
@El Sucio Federali Lou Dobbs? The same Lou Dobbs who was fired from Pox News? Is that the Lou Dobbs you‘re referring to, because it hardly strengthens your deranged MAGAlomaniac argument. He left CNN 12 years ago, and Sanchez 20 years ago. I would say “you‘ll have to do better than that“ but the reality is, you can‘t.
Trump needs to go to jail.
Not me Sport heck, both Larry King and Sanchez left CNN to work for Russia RT
@GO OlSEN maybe you are right ✅
Andrew Cuomo is a CNN contributor? Since when?
The way you seem to justify his actions…lol chilling.
You were on wall streets side also.
Never forget.
I use tears for lube. Please cry more
Johnny, I guess you were the only one that knew about all of these allegations. You should’ve said something.
How precarious? When the next thing you upload is about him as well.
You guys ever wonder what he did for them to expose him like this?
he deserves it. Karma. Hope they impeach him asap
@MrRocktex1978 I’m not saying he doesn’t hahah. But it’s interesting. Usually these pawns are ousted like this to replace him for a more aggressive agenda
They prob throwing him under the bus to make it look like they care about this stuff. He’s a white straight Italian male lol notice how they aren’t talking about the nursing homes that much anymore because they all were prob in on what he was doing
he kill their Grandma, i’d be angry too
I’ve been wondering the same thing! Hilary’s even calling for his resignation so there has to be a worse parasite available to install.
It’s funny how different the coverage is compared to others….. let’s see who comes out against Chris cuomo now that the names are in the spotlight
I’m just saying where was all these scandals a few months back I mean things come out of the blue its crazy and they want him to resign.for what trump didn’t do it after all the crap he pulled…
ppl came forward against kavanaugh..even his own ppl.. what happened ..lol nothing.. same with trump who paid off his accusers… list can go on.. so why should cuomo be the only held accountable.. dnt get me wrong I don’t uphold any of that mess.. bt just asking
They came out to overshadow the nursing home scandal.
Both women are lying. The first woman came out back in December and it was all debunked. Two months later she came out with another story and that one was false. The second chick went to the same school as that asian guy who said Cuomo yelled at him. The Boylan chick tried to beg for her job back when she resigned. This 2nd one stayed on just at a different department. And this wedding thing is straight up stupid. Sandra Lee was standing right there in the damn picture on the side of him! Why is no one catching this!
THESE women doing this because he STAND up To TRUMP.
@LongLostYellowRanger hmm didnt hear any of these in MSM?
Can you please point out any reputed sources for these claims
The guy who sent covid patients to nursing homes?
…but let’s focus on this underwhelming #metoo story
And Chris Clizza, who cheered Cuomo on over that and STILL IS.
He sent people to the nursing home who were old and also not well. Then this bum goes ahead and takes these other women and looks to do things that I should probably not be talkin about
Cuomo fighting off accusations with Emmy in one hand and a giant Q-tip with other
😅😅😅😅😅👍
Haha that Cuomo is a real piece of work what a loser
What is the meaning of the q tip?
This just in CNN, is going to do Cuomo’s life story .Tentatively called “The Italian Stallion”.
I went to a strip club once that had an Italian stallion. (Bachelorette party) The guy had some sexy moves…..
Get the Oscar ready
Everyone knows that Rocky Balboa is from Philadelphia
Oh that’s a funny line I’m still laughing love it
I think his “dangerous place” right now will be the shower room in Mohawk Correctional Facility.
LOL,, dont Drop the soap Andrew you greasy Bohunk
@Finn McCool Hahahaha!
For what crime?
LOCK HIM UP!!!
@Gmac82 Murder.
This is why I’ll never be friends with anyone from work nor do I ask any personal questions.
that’s not going to help any women that you had any kind of sexual advance with by any of your senses, not just touching or speaking but even looking at her wrong, can sue you for sexual assault in the future ….. especially if they see you are successful and rich
@smart guy I work from home so less worry there. Easier to be anti social 😉
Damn, that’s harsh. It might be even safer to go to work with welder goggles, a muzzle and a full-body condom.
@Michael Carter still beware, these women are going to sue you for ‘virtual’ assault from your home XD
His problem – everybody’s problem – is that the media no longer has Trump to keep them busy.
That is what I am thinking…now they will eat their own.
More like one of his fellow Democrats decided to remove any possible 2024 presidential threat.
Yes but Trump lives inside their heads. 🤣
You are wrong. Not because he is a democrat CNN should hide. The press has to show the bad in both sides. Comments like yours are disgusting. 😒😒😒😒😒😒
The nursing home issue was not covered back then and when it’s finally getting coverage here come these low-level assault accusations to overshadow. If I was a conspiracy theorist…
@Danielle Thomas first of all one of the ladies spoke about this almost a year ago and it’s uncomfortable intimidating for the women to speak out against Cuomo when he’s such a powerful person and so beloved by the country but now that he is not so beloved it’s easier for the women to come out talk about what they went through now that people will listen to them
@Dovid Schwartz great point. Although, my comment is mainly aimed at the media’s coverage. They seem to be allowing the reporting of this story to overshadow the nursing home scandal.
@Danielle Thomas good point listen to Greg Gutfeld he’s discussing that exact point
MSM media covered this almost a year ago. Difference now is we have more information. Did they do a great job? Hell no, but they did covered it.
I’ve been thinking the deaths WERE counted and not hidden. Either counted in the nursing home or the hospital. Andrew Cuomo saved us in NY last year and I think he will be re elected.
This seems like a political hack job to me.
“It’s March! Again, and again and again”….. Never once said the young person
