Cuomo said 'he can destroy me': NY assemblyman alleges governor threatened him over nursing homes scandal

(CNN)-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has been pleading with lawmakers for support and even threatening political retribution against Democrats who have criticized him in an aggressive effort to contain political fallout from revelations that his administration had concealed the full extent of nursing home-related deaths during the Covid pandemic.

Describing an alleged exchange with the governor that has not been previously reported, Democratic Assemblyman Ron Kim told CNN that he received a call on his cell phone from the governor last week as he was bathing his children at home.
"Gov. Cuomo called me directly on Thursday to threaten my career if I did not cover up for Melissa [DeRosa] and what she said. He tried to pressure me to issue a statement, and it was a very traumatizing experience," Kim said. Cuomo proceeded to tell the assemblyman that "we're in this business together and we don't cross certain lines and he said I hadn't seen his wrath and that he can destroy me," according to Kim.

9 NY state assembly Democrats accuse Cuomo of obstruction, tell colleagues to put aside 'loyalty'

Democratic lawmakers accused Cuomo of 'intentional criminal wrongdoing' in wake of nursing home scandal.

Nine Democratic New York State Assembly members signed a letter to their colleagues accusing Gov. Andrew Cuomo of obstruction of justice and asking that lawmakers set aside political loyalty and oppose him.

The letter comes after an aide in Cuomo's administration admitted that data regarding nursing home coronavirus deaths were intentionally withheld from state lawmakers. Cuomo has been accused of contributing to the high number of nursing home casualties due to a March 2020 directive that prohibited nursing homes from turning away people because they had COVID-19

There is one thing that gives me a ray of hope in this country. That the evil wrought through the corruption of some, always come with a price. For its nature is to eventually devour those who practice it.

Melissa DeRosa is the woman that turned on Andrew Cuomo and her mother-in-law Audrey Strauss is the head of the DOJ in the Southern District of New York.

A lot of people in New York politics and media are tired of Andrew Cuomo's bullying. This could get a very interesting as more people come out of the closet against Andrew Cuomo.

Cuomo ex-aide accuses scandal-plagued NY governor of pervasive sexual harassment in bombshell essay

A former aide to Gov. Andrew Cuomo is accusing the embattled New York leader of sexually harassing her -- including unwanted kissing and touching -- and says his top female staffers "normalized" the behavior.

Lindsey Boylan, the former deputy secretary for economic development and special adviser to the governor, said Cuomo constantly sought her out and had staffers arrange meetings with her, where he made inappropriate comments.

"Let's play strip poker," Boylan said Cuomo remarked on a flight from an event in October 2017, according to an essay she wrote on Medium, published Wednesday.
