DeSantis was declared dead politically after last summer. At the same time, they were praising Cuomo and giving him Emmys. So... why exactly should I believe this now?
Andrew Cuomo now is politically dead. President Biden has urged him to resign. We liberals do not defend our rogues as right-wing authoritarian types defend theirs. If sporadic accusations without corroboration can be shrugged off as "smoke", a large number that have corroboration is a four-alarm fire. See also Jeffrey Epstein and Bill Cosby. These people get away with huge numbers of transgressions and believe themselves charmed due to some characteristic of their personality and then get caught.
Some other Republican Governors with untarnished reputations as conservatives (Holcomb in Indiana and DeWine in Ohio) did the right thing and ordered the shut-down of high-risk activities during the first wave of the COVID-19 assault on America. As a Democratic hack I endorse their re-election for that because doing right when such is a difficult choice and one does so for honorable reasons should get one re-elected. Human life must come before ideology, which explains why anyone with any common sense despises such ideologues as fascists and Commies who put some ideal above human life. This also applies to people with no obvious ideology such as Ba'athists, Shih Huang Di, Genghis Khan, Leopold II, or Idi Amin.
