What a difference nine months makes - fall from grace

From the cover of the May 2020 Rolling Stone to the February 2021 The New York Post:

I love the body language in the first photo.  Whenever anyone is steepling their fingers like that, they are indicating that they feel superior to those around them. That they are elite. Above the crowd. Superior. This is a very common tell.

And then, there is this article by Jared Dyson at The Liberty Loft:

Cuomo Lives in a Fantasy World Where He Does No Wrong
On Monday, NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo made his first comments after a scandal broke about his administrations handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and releasing of patients back to nursing facilities. To be clear, it was not necessarily releasing them, but rather forcing nursing facilities to take them. It resulted in thousands of deaths of New Yorkers.

Those thousands of deaths were covered, hidden from the public and state lawmakers who were asking for information surrounding the cases. Now, Cuomo insists that the cases are fully and accurately reported. He also admitted that his team had made a mistake but not the mistake he should have admitted.

Cuomo should have admitted that he purposefully misled the public in an attempt to hide how grave the situation was in New York. He should have admitted that the decision to send patients to nursing facilities was the wrong one and that he is the one to blame. He should have come out and resigned from his position.

Instead, he said that the mistakes that were made simply created a void for conspiracy theories. Yes, those conspiracy theories that the left likes to blame for everything since President Donald Trump took office. They have been great at manufacturing them as well as hiding behind them.

To think that people were floating the idea of him running for president at one time. He might have been better than Obama but not by much.
