Cuomo, DeBlasio And Korach

They’re the toxic twins of New York politics!

The dysfunctional relationship between former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and former Mayor Bill de Blasio hindered the state’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, ex-city Health Commissioner Dave Chokshi [GREAT last name!!!] revealed in a stunning new interview posted online.

The mild-mannered physician offered a frank diagnosis of the Democratic pols’ penchant for bitter bickering — even as a deadly virus was wreaking havoc on New York.

“It was a significant problem,” Chokshi said.

“There were moments where my frustration at not being able to advance public health policy for New Yorkers could be directly tied to the toxicity of that relationship.”

Chokshi said the battles between de Blasio and Cuomo — who spent years squabbling in public before the pandemic — basically boiled down to “who had the authority to do what.”

The worst moment, Chokshi said, came in December 2020, when he and de Blasio held a news conference to announce the first coronavirus vaccination program for city cops and other first responders.

“The governor had a press conference less than an hour later and said the mayor and I did not have the authority to do that,” he recalled.

“Then I got a very irate phone call to let me know in no uncertain terms that I would be held responsible for breaking state law if we moved forward to vaccinate first responders.”

Chokshi added: “It’s ludicrous to think that’s what our public officials are spending time on, instead of sorting things out so we can actually move forward with what our responsibility is during a pandemic.”

Chokshi, who resigned in March, became the city’s health commissioner in August 2020 following the resignation of Dr. Oxiris [GREAT first name!!!] Barbot, who quit in a letter that expressed her “deep disappointment” over de Blasio’s handling of the pandemic.

So DeBlasio will go down as the worst mayor in NYC history. Cuomo will go down as the governer who killed out nursing homes and "loved" his staff too much. They will go down together as the two people who didn't learn the lessons of Parshas Korach. How appropriate is the term "go down". Machlokes just brings people down to the lowest places.

If these two Goyim could only unite around their common Goyishality and get along they could have saved lives....
