Am not usually a huge fan of him, but here he really hits the key points, especially regarding not conflating protesters with looters, and regarding calling George Floyd's death what it is: murder.

I'm tempted to put my tinfoil on and see this as a presidential bid, because, to be honest, these were the most presidential and reasonable utterings I've heard in a long time.

Cuomo is trying to save face cause he moved infected elderly into the same home after being asked to quarantine them. Then he snuck in an amendment with his most recent cash handout saying you can't prosecute the facility if your loved one died of covid while under their care. He's a turd

Yeah, I know... like I said, not a fan. However, I'm always glad to hear any politico saying sensical things that none of their colleagues will say. That he's willing to call Floyd's hideous death a blatant murder, and keep the looters and protesters separate are in themselves MAJOR points that are not included in the manufactured narrative provided to and disseminated by the MSM.

I am personally not partisan, and so find it easy enough to appreciate benefit when I see it, no matter who the messenger. And whatever his motivation (saving face or trying to be the next candidate) that he said more than just empty platitudes and word salad is refreshing to me.
