Political Mayhem Thursday: A Bad Week for Governors
It's been a tough week for governors.
First, there is Andrew Cuomo, who has been confronted with the testimony of at least three former staffers who say he was inappropriate in his interactions with them. The picture above, of Cuomo with one of the former staffers, sure didn't help his cause. He made a public statement yesterday that combined apology with a vow not to resign.
Then there is Kristi Noem of South Dakota, who went on "Face the Nation" not expecting (somehow) to be asked about South Dakotas bad record on COVID:
Then, finally, we have Texas Gov. Greg Abbott who announced that he was lifting all Covid-related restrictions and the state's mask mandate. Amid jockeying for position in the 2022 governor's race (Beto O'Rourke, among others, may run against him), he took some heat.
Meanwhile, here in MN, things are pretty good, actually.
