'''Andrew Mark Cuomo''' (born December 6, 1957, in [[Queens]], [[New York]] (age {{age|1957|12|6}})) has been the Governor of New York since January 1, 2011. He was previously the Attorney General of New York, having been elected in 2006 with 58% of the vote, and before that he served as [[Secretary of Housing and Urban Development]] in the [[Bill Clinton|Clinton administration]]. His Lieutenant Governor is former Rochester mayor [[Robert Duffy]]. He is the son of former New York Governor [[Mario Cuomo]].
Andrew Cuomo is accused of abusing his power by making unwanted sexual advances for years on many aides and others.<ref>https://nypost.com/2021/03/12/ex-albany-reporter-is-7th-woman-to-accuse-gov-cuomo-of-sex-harassment/</ref> In an essay written by one accuser in February 2021, she explained that “I had complained to friends that the Governor would go out of his way to touch me on my lower back, arms and legs,” she writes. “His senior staff began keeping tabs on my whereabouts.”<ref>https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/nation-world/ny-cuomo-sexual-harassment-allegations-lindsey-boylan-20210224-aydoxpfkobghha6yxth32jbimq-story.html</ref> More accusers came forward in the following days.<ref>https://www.theepochtimes.com/2nd-former-aide-accuses-cuomo-of-sexual-harassment_3714142.html</ref> Arrogant and defiant, Cuomo has refused to resign despite a flood of credible allegations about his abuse of his office for sexual advances against workers.
There have been calls for Cuomo's [[impeachment and removal]] from office after Gov. Cuomo consigned [[covid]] positive patients to nursing homes causing the deaths of 13,000 victims.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/02/20/assemblyman-kim-people-are-inching-toward-the-impeachment-process-on-cuomo/</ref> Even New York Democrat state legislators joined the effort to take action against Cuomo's abuse of power.<ref>https://uncoverdc.com/2021/02/23/democrats-join-push-to-remove-gov-cuomos-emergency-pandemic-powers/</ref> Some Democrat legislators called for charges against the accused killer.<ref>https://citizenfreepress.com/breaking/watch-live-ny-democrats-hold-outdoor-presser-calling-for-charges-against-killer-cuomo/</ref> [[Junta leader]] [[Joe Biden]] praised Cuomo as the "gold standard" of governors handling the [[CCP pandemic]].<ref>https://www.newsweek.com/late-night-tv-joe-biden-jimmy-fallon-1495799</ref>
Gov. Cuomo was found by a federal court to have discriminated against and violating the constitutional and civil rights of religious worshippers. On November 24, 2020, the [[U.S. Supreme Court]] enjoined as unconstitutional Andrew Cuomo's interference with religious services. Cuomo authorized [[far left]] rioters to loot and destroy property while repressing the constitutional rights of [[Christian]]s and [[Jew]]s.<ref>https://www.nationalreview.com/news/federal-judge-rules-cuomo-de-blasio-exceeded-authority-by-restricting-religious-services-while-condoning-protests/</ref>
In January 2019, Cuomo signed an extreme [[pro-abortion]] bill into law allowing abortion until the moment of birth.<ref>Multiple references:

Cuomo was elected as Governor of New York in 2010 with 62% of the vote. Like his father, Cuomo is [[pro-abortion]] and pro-gay rights. He signed legislation legalizing [[same-sex marriage]] in 2011. Cuomo is listed in ''The Little Black Book'' of elite socialist and convicted [[pedophile]] [[Jeffrey Epstein]]<ref>https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-07-08/shtf-lets-revisit-jeffrey-epsteins-little-black-book</ref> and used the "N-word" during a live interview on WABC in New York.<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2019/10/15/andrew-cuomo-n-word-wamc-radio-interview-new-york-times/</ref> Cuomo has made threats against the life of President Trump.<ref>https://hotair.com/archives/jazz-shaw/2020/09/03/new-york-governor-threatens-presidents-life/</ref>
Cuomo's [[intolerance]] was famously demonstrated in January 2014 when he said during a radio interview that the "extreme conservatives" that are politicians who are "[[Anti-abortion|right-to-life]], [[Second Amendment|pro-assault-weapon]], [[homosexual agenda|anti-gay]]" had no place in the State of New York.<ref>https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/jan/19/gov-cuomo-pro-life-conservatives-have-no-place-new/</ref>
Gov. Andrew Cuomo's first reaction to the [[CCP coronavirus]] outbreak was to sue [[President Trump]] over Trump's effort to stop the spread of the deadly virus with a travel ban from [[China]].<ref>https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-02-07/n-y-plans-to-sue-trump-administration-over-trusted-traveler-ban</ref> Not until two weeks after New Yorkers started dying in the pandemic did Cuomo begin having meetings on the crisis.

===Impeachment===
On March 10, 2021 the New York State Assembly opened an investigation with full [[subpoena]] power, the first step in pursuing impeachment of Andrew Cuomo. At least 121 members of the state Assembly and Senate have said publicly they believe Cuomo can no longer govern and should quit office now, according to a tally by ''[[The Associated Press]]''.

===CCP covid crisis===
:{{See also|CCP pandemic in the United States|CCP global pandemic}}
In his three terms as governor, Cuomo preferred spending state funds on solar panels rather than emergency preparation for basic necessities in event of a [[pandemic]], such as hospital masks and gowns, ventilators, etc.<ref>https://www.bizpacreview.com/2020/03/28/hannity-rips-gov-cuomo-for-whining-bitching-and-complaining-instead-of-being-prepared-902228</ref>
He was widely criticized for his mishandling of the [[coronavirus]] crisis that as of April 4, 2020, [[New York]] had incurred more than 182 deaths per million in population, a massive mortality rate exceeded only by the socialized-medicine countries of [[Italy]] and [[Spain]]. Gov. Cuomo hoarded life-saving medication rather than dispensing it as soon as possible in early treatment of patients. Instead, he sought to hospitalize patients first, and then ration treatment. Meanwhile, his younger brother Chris, holding a lucrative job at [[CNN]], recovered from [[COVID-19]] in the comfort of his home, with access to any medication desired.
While people were dying from the virus, and regular citizens starved for information on mitigation measures,
According to Ryan Grim of ''The Intercept'' prisoners at Rikers Island were exploited at $6 an hour, below [[minimum wage]], to dig mass graves on Hart Island<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8mu5vWYi2o</ref> for victims of the [[Chinese communist virus]].<ref>https://theintercept.com/2020/03/31/rikers-island-coronavirus-mass-graves/</ref> Cuomo has laughed upon hearing [[COVID-19]] deaths.<ref>https://twitter.com/CuomoWatch/status/1321472985463738369</ref>

Rather than construct quarantine [[gulag]]s on the [[Chinese communist]] model, Cuomo mandated that longterm nursing home facilities accept [[Covid 19]]-positive patients. Despite the [[scientific]] evidence, Cuomo issued the decree anyway.<ref>https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Cuomo-defends-nursing-home-policies-as-long-term-15284326.php</ref> The virus spread like wildfire among the elderly, mostly [[Babyboomer]]s, giving New York the highest death toll from the [[CCP virus]].<ref>https://apnews.com/4042f05613ee4259b7a44d4466a0a02a</ref> New York's death toll accounts for 30% of the U.S. fatality rate.
''Frontpage Mag'' reported:
{{Quotebox-float|Cuomo's Department of Health had issued an order that, "no resident shall be denied re-admission or admission to the NH solely based on a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of COVID-19" and also prohibited requiring testing of returning patients.

The Cuomo administration then deliberately tried to coverup the extent of the carnage by undercounting deaths.<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2020/05/15/new-york-coronavirus-reporting-nursing-home-deaths-undercounting/</ref>
Hospital and nursing lobbies and committees donated as much as $2.3 million in campaign cash to Cuomo and co. in the 18-months before the coronavirus catastrophe and was a major support to him in a narrowly won re-election. And for all that, Cuomo personally removed the one deterrent that would have forced nursing homes and hospitals to actually care for their patients and incentivize them to prevent to spread of the China virus – accountability.<ref>https://creativedestructionmedia.com/news/politics/2020/05/27/gov-cuomo-shields-nursing-homes-from-criminal-lawsuits/</ref>

[[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez]] called for an investigation into Gov. Cuomo's [[human rights]] abuses.<ref>https://twitter.com/J__Velasquez/status/1362836454116884482</ref>
====Campaign donations from the Hospital Association====
In 2018, as governor Andrew Cuomo faced a challenge to his reelection bid in the New York State Democratic primary, he got a last minute $1m cash infusion from the General New York Hospital Association (GNYHA)—a powerful NY healthcare industry group. On April 2, 2020, he repaid the favor when he quietly signed legislation shielding hospital and nursing home executives from any lawsuits stemming from the coronavirus outbreak. The clauses, inserted into the annual budget bill by Cuomo, gave blanket immunity protections for healthcare industry executive and administrators, the same individuals and institutions that made a fortune moving sick Covid-19 patients to nursing homes.<ref>https://apelbaum.wordpress.com/2020/05/22/jaccuse/</ref>
The GNYHA gave to the Democrats $3 million in the [[2018 Midterm election]] cycle. Of this, Cuomo and his state party committee received close to $2.3m from various hospitals and nursing home industry donors. Governor Cuomo returned the favor with his directive forcing COVID-19 patients into nursing homes. This directive provided a massive increase in revenues to organizations associated with the GNYHA who were paid handsomely for COVID patients. It was a bonanza for these entities.
The impact of this decision on elderly New Yorkers in nursing homes is the elderly in these nursing homes spread the disease and died. They died at the worst rate in the country and the world.<ref>https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/02/breaking-big-new-york-democrats-hold-outdoor-presser-calling-criminal-charges-governor-cuomo-video/</ref>
====Crony capitalism====
Cuomo personally updated an executive order March 23, 2020 to block pharmacists from filling prescriptions for the drug hydroxychloroquine for any uses not approved by the FDA.<ref>https://twitter.com/MichaelCoudrey/status/1242897547171004417</ref>
This order targeted off-label uses of [[hydroxychloroquine]], in particular preventing [[Dr. Zelenko]], a New York doctor, who successfully treated 350 COVID-19 sufferers in his community with no fatalities using a combination of hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin and zinc, effectively denying victims of the virus medical treatment.<ref>https://townhall.com/tipsheet/bethbaumann/2020/04/01/dr-oz-slams-ny-gov-cuomo-people-need-access-to-chloroquine-n2566184</ref>
[[Sean Hannity]] had championed the doctor, whose drug combination could reasonably be expected to forestall contracts awarded by Cuomo's New York Health Department to originate new treatments or vaccines by [[Big Pharma|large pharmaceutical companies]], and further, allowing them to reap the profits then as well as in the future from revenue accrued from patents expected to be awarded in the process of manufacture.
Only when President Trump himself stepped in was Dr. Zelenko's pioneering work allowed to continue.
====Ventilator scam====

In 2015 Cuomo rejected the purchase of 16,000 needed ventilators for emergency preparedness at a price of $36,000 apiece or a total of $576 million. Instead, he put the money in a $750 million solar panel factory.<ref>https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/03/cuomo-administration-rejected-purchasing-additional-ventilators-in-2015-for-pandemic-preparedness-based-on-funding/</ref>
During the Coronavirus emergency, Cuomo criticized President Trump for New York not having enough of the needed ventilators. The next day, a stockpile of 4,000 ventilators were found in a warehouse while people needing the ventilators in New York hospitals went without treatment. People died while Cuomo lied.

One week after the announcement to cancel New York's 2020 Democratic primary elections due to COVID-19 concerns, a federal judge ordered the state to reverse course and hold the primary contest in June.
The New York Board of Elections employed a provision of Governor Andrew Cuomo's state budget law to remove any candidate from the 2020 presidential primary ballot who had announced they have stopped running and were “no longer eligible” under state law to win the nomination. [[Andrew Yang]] filed suit on behalf of his would-be delegates a day later, challenging the state's decision to cancel the election. Yang and his co-plaintiffs alleged that the New York Board of Elections violated the [[First Amendment]] and [[14th Amendment]]s to the Constitution.<ref>https://www.courthousenews.com/judge-orders-new-york-to-hold-democratic-primary/</ref> [[Bernie Sanders]]' delegates said in their complaint,
{{quotebox-float|“What the cancellation does is prevent Democratic Party voters who wish to express their views concerning issues ranging from health care, to the environment, to student debt, to the cost of higher education, from expressing their view on the differences between Bernie Sanders and Joseph Biden on these issues.”}}

===Antifa riots===
:{{See also|2020 Antifa riots}}
Shootings in New York City were on the rise since looting and protests began on or about May 28, 2020. For July 2020, shootings increased from 88 to 244, an increase of 177% over July 2019. In August 2020, shootings increased from 91 to 242, a 166% increase over August 2019. While the city faced increased unrest, gun violence, and property damage, the New York City Council cut $1 billion from NYPD's FY21 budget. The budget resulted in the cancellation of the new police recruiting class, cuts to overtime spending, and the transfer of certain police functions, including school safety, out of the NYPD.
The Manhattan and Brooklyn District Attorneys declined to [[prosecute]] charges of disorderly conduct and unlawful assembly arising from the protests, and the District Attorneys in Queens and the Bronx declined to prosecute other protest-related charges. Both Mayor [[Bill de Blasio]] and Governor Cuomo forcefully rejected federal law enforcement support.<ref>https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/department-justice-identifies-new-york-city-portland-and-seattle-jurisdictions-permitting</ref>

===Gay rights===
Cuomo has tried to deny homosexuals access to [[medical]] service by attempting to ban therapeutic choices.<ref>https://www.therapeuticchoice.com/why-therapeutic-choice-matters</ref> Cuomo's executive order purports to prohibit health insurers in New York from reimbursing for "[[conversion therapy]] services provided to an insured under the age of 18 years" and "to require behavioral health providers to certify that they will not provide conversion therapy to minors or seek reimbursement from the insurer for such services." In addition, the executive order purports to make it "unlawful for any mental health facility licensed, funded or operated by the New York State Office of Mental Health to provide conversion therapy to minors" such that "[f]ailure to comply with these new regulations could result in the revocation of license and/or funding for any entity found to have engaged in these practices." [[Medicaid]] was also prohibited from reimbursing for it in New York.<ref>[https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/governor-cuomo-announces-executive-actions-banning-coverage-conversion-therapy Feb. 6, 2016 executive order]</ref>

===Fracking===
Cuomo apparently is a pro-[[Putin]] pro-[[MBS]] stooge who wants to ban [[fracking]] and make the United States dependent on [[Russia]]n and [[Saudi Arabia]]n oil imports.<ref>https://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffmcmahon/2015/03/12/russians-financed-the-u-s-anti-fracking-movement-oil-tycoon/#50c10fb6285e</ref>
===Leftist hypocrisy===
In 2018, California Democrat Rep. [[Maxine Waters]] went on a rampage inciting her supporters to harass President Trump and members of his cabinet. “If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere." In 2021 the account “Cuomo Watch” tweeted: “If you see anybody from the Cuomo Administration in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.”<ref>https://www.westernjournal.com/twitter-troll-edits-maxine-waters-quote-apply-gov-cuomo-now-dems-condemn/</ref>
Speaker of the New York State Assembly Carl E. Heastie responded “This is appalling and dangerous. Encouraging violence must never be tolerated. Shame on whoever is behind this kind of garbage.”
New York state Sen. Diane Savino, too, took the bait. Savino wrote, “This is beyond outrageous. Two weeks ago we saw what happened when arsonists throw gas around. Twitter should ban this dude now!”
New York state Assemblyman Ken Zebrowski wrote, “This is dangerous, reprehensible and has no place in any public discussion.”
==Family==
Cuomo married Kerry Kennedy, the seventh child of [[Robert F. Kennedy]] and Ethel Skakel Kennedy, in 1990. They have three daughters, Cara Ethel Kennedy Cuomo, Mariah Matilda Kennedy Cuomo, and Michaela Andrea Kennedy Cuomo. They divorced in 2005.
