Andrew Cuomo is Chris Christie...

President Trump is President Obama
and the CoVid pandemic is Hurricane Sandy...

Remember when Gov. Chris Christie was chastised for crossing party lines and playing up to President Obama to get more federal aid for New Jersey after Hurricane Sandy?

They say Gov. Andrew Cuomo is doing the same thing with President Trump during the pandemic...

The governor’s brother, Chris Cuomo, the CNN anchor, asked what he thought of President Trump’s repeated insinuation that health care workers in New York City were stealing medical supplies from hospitals by taking them “out the back door.”

”I know this is a political year, and everything is a political backdrop, and Democrats want to criticize Republicans, Republicans want to criticize Democrats,” Mr. Cuomo said this week. “Not now. Not now.”

With all the journolists today "working from home", one wonders when we will hear the follow-up to where the missing masks and medical equipment in New York is going.  Surely the numbers will be accounted for, and the supplies are being tracked to ensure they do not end up in the foreign marketplace or for home-use by those with connections to New York's hospitals.

In a few short months, we will be less panicked in this country as we begin to rebuild our economy and question what when wrong in previous administrations that left us so short-handed in a time of national need.  (Why didn't Gov. Cuomo prioritize medical supplies by planning ahead for the citizens and sanctuary residents of his state?)

If there are shortages for the states who experience their need later as the global virus travels inland in America, surely the story will become even bigger as Americans ask:  what really happened to all the medical equipment that was sent to New York to serve America's needs during the pandemic?  You really have to watch the global profiteers closely since they take advantage during these times, refusing to let a national crisis go to waste without personally benefitting their own...
