"What am I supposed to do, send him a bouquet of flowers?" That comment is nothing.Cuomo really starts the bitch slaps on the president starting at 57:06
some excerpts:
"Now going forward the president doesn't want to help on testing. He says, 'I've done enough ... it's too hard' Well I (Gov Cuomo) can't do an international supply chain. Testing, testing, testing.... none of us have done enough...it's not over ... Imagine if I as governor said, okay, I'm done ... that's what he's saying, 'I'M DONE.' "
"The only thing he's doing is say 'it's up to the states. By the way, it was always up to the states. What, are you gonna grant me what the Constitution gave me before you were born? It's called the 10th Amendment.
I didn't need the president of the United States to tell me that I'm governor. And I didn't need the president of the United States to tell me the powers of a state...I don't need the president of the United States to read the Constitution for me. Maybe he should have read the Constitution before he said he had the power to open the states...
Okay, I'm gonna reopen. And you don't want to help on testing... which replicates the same chaos you created with medical supplies because FEMA wasn't ready... I NEEDED A STOCKPILE? WHERE WAS YOUR STOCKPILE?! 10,000 ventilators for the nation? on YOUR PROJECTIONS? ..."

OP
It was worth the time to watch the whole thing just to hear Cuomo drag Trump.
