Gov. Cuomo appears to be of two minds — and two faces — when it comes to impeaching President Trump.
The governor criticized “leftist†Democrats for pushing Congress into launching an impeachment inquiry of President Trump and predicted the probe would lead to government gridlock, apparently flip-flopping on his support for impeachment from a day earlier.
Cuomo Thursday derided the “quote unquote inquiry†as the work of angry radicals who forced the hand of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to mount what he suggested would ultimately be an exercise in futility.
“There is a heightened leftist component of the Democratic Party that she was feeling pressure from,†Cuomo said at an event on “political civility†hosted by ex-Gov. Chris Christie, a staunch Trump supporter.
