New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) is suggesting President Donald Trump’s coronavirus briefings are not very helpful to governors.
MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski asked Cuomo if he had a chance to watch Trump’s latest press briefing and if it would be of value to governors.
“No, a governor should not watch that,” Cuomo said. “There’s no value in it. It is infuriating and offensive and frankly ignorant of the facts.”
Watch his comments below:
Cuomo pointed to Trump’s claim he has “total” authority over states and their decisions amid the Coronavirus Outbreak.
Trump made the claim during an exchange with a reporter, as IJR previously reported.
Cuomo responded to Trump’s assertion, “We have a Constitution, we don’t have a king. We have an elected president.”
He reiterated his position explaining Trump’s claim is ironic.
“To hear a Republican stand up there, by the way, and argue big government and total authority of the federal government is somewhat amusing,” Cuomo said. “You know if it wasn’t so serious it would be funny, all of this, it could be a comedy skit.”
