Aide’s incendiary tweet has Gov. Cuomo facing ‘severe repercussions’ in impeachment probe
July 22, 2021 | Vivek Saxena New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is reportedly facing “severe repercussions” over the lousy behavior and trash-talking of his underlings. Like governor, like underlings.
On Wednesday, New York Assembly Judiciary Committee chair Charles Lavine, a Democrat who’s leading an impeachment inquiry into the governor, sent a letter to him warning of “severe repercussions” over a tweet posted by his spokesperson.
On July 11th, spokesperson Rich Azzopardi posted a tweet slamming John Samuelsen, the head of the state’s largest transit union, for being critical of his boss.
Speaking with the New York Post, Samuelsen had said he’s “over” Cuomo because of his alleged criminal behavior.
“How could the labor movement support someone for governor who engaged in workforce criminality, sexual harassment?” he’d asked rhetorically.
This apparently enraged either Cuomo or Azzopardi, the latter of whom responded with the following tweet (that may have very well been written at the direction of the governor):
