With a conservative Republican in the New York City mayor’s race by the name of Curtis Sliwa, the so-called “Republicans” at the New York Post have endorsed the corrupt former Democrat governor Andrew Cuomo, whose “experience” consists of sexually harassing women and killing old people in nursing homes.
I hope these RINOs get Zohran Mamdani as mayor and suffer and squirm like those old folks Cuomo killed in the nursing homes. A Fox News poll gives Mamdani a 16 point lead over Cuomo.
The fake “conservatives” on the side of Cuomo include Megyn Kelly, formerly of Fox News, and Michael Goodwin of the New York Post. Kelly and Goodwin’s endorsement of Cuomo means that they want in office someone responsible for five times as many deaths as occurred in New York City on 9/11 in the terrorist attacks.
The danger of another 9/11 if Mamdani wins is a topic journalist Matthew Vadum and I discuss on a show on my YouTube channel, which has been “unsuspended” by Google, after a period of censorship exceeding three years. I argue that Mamdani can be arrested as a national security threat because of his ties to the Iranian “Twelvers” and the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), a group that provides cover for communist espionage.
If you do not think ordering COVID positive patients into nursing homes constitutes murder, then consider the remarks of Rep. Elise Stefanik, who noted that, in addition to the COVID deaths, “Disgraced Governor Cuomo’s bail reform policy has ravaged our streets and violent crime is skyrocketing all over New York” and that, as he was leaving office under a cloud, was “pardoning murderers and violent criminals.”
Regarding the COVID massacre, Goodwin’s own paper quoted Vivian Zayas, co-founder of Voices For Seniors, as saying, “It would have been nice of Governor Cuomo to grant clemency to over 15,000 seniors and the developmentally disabled who suffered and died of COVID for the simple crime of being elderly and vulnerable.”
Mamdani, the likely “democratic socialist” winner of Tuesday’s contest, is considered by some to be more of threat to New York City, and that may be the case. But Sliwa at least has a record of working of saving the lives of innocent New Yorkers through his leadership of the Guardian Angels.
Goodwin works for a paper that said Cuomo was a liar and a fraud for trying to escape responsibility for the deaths of 15,000 senior citizens in nursing homes because of his COVID policies. Those policies sent COVID-infected patients into the nursing homes so they could die and spread their disease to others.
Cuomo’s rationale was that those patients could not be subject to “discrimination” and had to be allowed to mix with healthy people who then died, many of them slow deaths as they struggled to breathe.
These are the killing fields of New York, a fate that many New Yorkers remember as they cast ballots for the socialist utopia promised by Zohran Mamdani. Compared to Cuomo, Mamdani is a fresh face.
Goodwin’s flip-flop on Cuomo demonstrates why people hate the media, and why anybody with the label of “conservative” must be subjected to scrutiny.
In an article on then-Governor Cuomo’s deadly COVID policies, the paper said that “Cuomo and his former aides are being investigated by the FBI and the Brooklyn US Attorney’s Office in connection with both the nursing home scandal and the book deal,” the latter a reference to Cuomo’s making $5 million off his “leadership” in the murders.
But no charges were ever filed. Why? Even the Republicans in Congress have failed to hold him accountable, except to hold hearings exposing his lies and cover-ups. But there is no indictment.
We need indictments of the media as well.
On April 25, 2020, Goodwin wrote about the “carnage” at the nursing homes and how then-Governor Cuomo blamed others.
Now, Goodwin endorses Cuomo for mayor.
Goodwin wrote a column saying “This nursing home disaster is on you, Gov. Cuomo.” He said, “This is life and death.” He referred to “the families who never saw their loved ones again before the virus killed them,” adding, that “…those families want to know why in the world the state would bar them from nursing homes but simultaneously impose infected patients on the same facilities.”
When Cuomo reversed his deadly policy, Goodwin wrote a column saying it was “too little, too late for those now dead.”
When Cuomo decided to run for mayor, Goodwin said that “To judge by his stealthy actions so far, my guess is he’s going to run under a banner of ‘No Remorse, No Regrets.’” Goodwin wrote that “He apparently believes Gotham is so desperate for new leadership that he can stitch together a winning coalition by citing his accomplishments on infrastructure and other areas without accepting responsibility for the staggering failures and scandals on his watch.”
Now Goodwin endorses this liar and fraud.
Goodwin wrote that, “Had he not resigned, he would have been impeached and convicted by the Legislature.” Among his other failures, Goodwin noted that Cuomo is responsible for:
- “…many of the big problems plaguing New York today, such as the insanely lenient criminal justice laws, [which] carry his signature.”
- a moratorium on all “fossil fuel infrastructure,” including gas pipelines, resulting in “a big reason why New Yorkers pay among the nation’s highest energy bills.”
Goodwin warned that the former governor “was hit with a slew of sexual harassment allegations that ultimately forced his resignation,” and “at least some of those cases will be resurrected on the campaign trail” in the mayor’s race.
Nevertheless, Goodwin now endorses him. He is willing to overlook them.
He now says “…fate has forced me to see him from a different perspective.” That justifies his flip-flops that are timed conveniently to ignore the dead bodies of the old people.
That “fate” is that Cuomo got defeated in the primary and Zohran Mamdani won. New York City reaps what it sows.
He explains, “The facts command us to see him as the only candidate who can steer the SS Gotham away from the approaching iceberg. This is an SOS moment.”
The SOS moment is an occasion to save us from frauds like Goodwin. Please just slink away to your own nursing home, Mr. Goodwin
He now says, “As 2025 started, I didn’t take Cuomo seriously because I assumed there would be far better options for City Hall. That was my big mistake.”
No, Mr. Goodwin, your big mistake was failing to deal honestly with the issues and candidates.
But it’s not just his problem. He has been a featured columnist and guest on Fox News, another bastion of “conservatism” that has turned into a base of operations for the Cuomo campaign.
On another occasion, Goodwin wrote that, “Gov. Cuomo’s latest bid to tame the cascading waves of criticism over his handling of the nursing home catastrophe was so riddled with falsehoods and misinformation that it’s hard to know what he was thinking. Does he really believe he’s viewed as a trustworthy person whose word is taken at face value in Albany and beyond?”
The same question applies to Goodwin, and the answer is that he is not a trustworthy person, either.
How does someone with a conscience justify voting for a disgraced former governor with blood on his hands when there is an honest alternative?
What is more, what is stopping FBI Director Kash Patel from arresting Mamdani under the Communist Control Act? The law is on his side.
