It s pretty rich that Gov. Andrew Cuomo questioned the integrity of Assemblyman Ron T. Kim. As we ve documented, the governor and his staff have been bullying people for years. But when Kim dared to question Cuomo s leadership and tried to find answers into the state s nursing home tragedy, the governor reportedly threatened to end his career. Kim s uncle, a veteran, died in a nursing home from presumed COVID-19. At least 15,000 people died from COVID-related causes in care homes the past year, we only recently learned because of the Cuomo administration s stonewalling.
