Effectively downplaying his fumbled response to the coronavirus outbreak in his state, and ignoring the bipartisan calls from state legislatures to investigate why he put infected patients in nursing homes, CBS Sunday Morning host Jane Pauley spent her segment gushes about Democratic New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. Not only was she dismissive of his critics, but she also appeared to flirt with him while discussing how he was an eligible, sought after bachelor, and pushed him on running for president in 2024.
Though she admitted that New York had a “staggering death toll of 25,000” coronavirus deaths, the most of any state in the country, Pauley proclaimed “Today, Andrew Cuomo is having a moment.”
At one point in her piece, Pauley (via voiceover) recalled how “Cuomo was married for 15 years to Kerry Kennedy, the daughter of Robert F. Kennedy. And until last year, was in a long relationship with author and TV chef Sandra Lee, but he is unattached now.”
In the follow-up clip of their sit-down conversation, Pauley giggled as she playfully teased Cuomo about being single with so much to offer a woman:
PAULEY: You are a bachelor, you’ve got a nice house here, having a moment, and you can’t do a thing with it. Is your social life in a phase one relationship, possibly? Is that an unfortunate set of circumstances?
[Laughter]
CUOMO: Well, I think —
PAULEY: I know you’re a bachelor. I know. I know you’ve talked about being available.
CUOMO: Yeah. The house isn’t mine, sort of like a rental. I will move out one day. I can reopen the economy, but dating, that’s a whole different thing beyond my control.
PAULEY: Pity, isn’t it?
If that wasn’t enough, she followed up by pressing Cuomo on his future political machinations, nudging him to run for president in 2024. “Four years from now, either Donald Trump will not run for re-election, or Joe Biden will be 82 and probably there will be a search for a democratic nominee. And I cannot believe that Andrew Cuomo won’t be on that stage,” Pauley poked.
When he said he wasn’t interested in running, Pauley literally threw up her hands and huffed about the Cuomo family’s habit of not running for president. “What is it with the Cuomo’s? The fact that your father never ran for president is still, you know, one of the great mysteries of political life,” she said.
And in covering for Cuomo’s disastrous response to the outbreak, she ignored how New York seeded outbreaks in much of the country and refused to ask him why he packed COVID patients into nursing homes. But she fawned for how he “marshaled New Yorkers”:
jane is an alleged slut journalist. didn’t the wonderful gov lived with the ex for 18 years? next year time mag. will make him man of the year.
Only in the Communists Broadcasting System(CBS)are they as this stupid as the can be CBS They Lying Eye of Satan it was just earlier this year when they was urging everybody to go Vegan over this Climate Change.Corona Virus stuff and their fake morning and evening news as well as their CBS Sunday Morning CBS Needs a BLACK EYE over this all
Well, Cuomo screwed the entire state of New York, so I guess that appeals to Pauley.
Such is the condition of todays boob tube dumb down of America. He is not attractive perhaps that is why he is single, mug ugly, nipple pierced, incompetent, are his good points.
@kitt: He may have a hard time finding a date who’s elderly relatives he didn’t order killed.
@Deplorable Me:
that is the key to a pres run in 2024. screwing NY is a great basis for his platform of “Kill America” in ’24. just another piece of political democrap fecal matter. the time mag will name him man of the year-bet on it? if not, a collective party of democraps will nominate him for the Nobel Prizes in Peace
