The one person in politics who has the least self-awareness and certainly lacks even a modicum of empathy for the elderly and religious community, is New York's Democrat Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Apparently, he hand-selected his staff to reflect his lack of positive values.
A Cuomo spokesperson attempted to contemptuously discredit Fox News' Janice Dean, after she correctly criticized the state's screwed up rollout of the coronavirus vaccine.
Janice Dean is not a political pundit and has no apparent political leanings. In spite of her MS diagnosis, she has a positive outlook on life and has a sunny disposition. Sadly, she and her husband lost both his elderly parents who had been living in a long-term health care facility that followed Cuomo's policy of mandating the homes take in COVID-19 patients to their facilities where it is by far the most deadly.
That's what killed them and Janice Dean has every right to be angry at Cuomo's horrible decision at the time.
Finally removing his head from his nether regions, Cuomo reversed his policy on May 10th after tens of thousands of deaths occurred.
In a disgusting, totally insensitive attempt to discredit Dean, Cuomo spokes-creep Dick Azzopardi told the Daily Mail, “Last I checked, she’s [Janice Dean] not a credible source on anything except maybe the weather.”
“Every state has had issues with vaccine distribution because of lack of federal funds but we’re rapidly ramping up distribution and currently have administered more than 60 percent of the vaccines we have,” Azzopardi defended Cuomo.
Dean on Tuesday correctly called New York’s vaccination rollout a “disaster,” adding that “[I]t is just another leadership failure from this governor.”
Dean responded directly to the a**hole:
I can do weather and speak up for my family at the same time. https://t.co/GcidfgPMFXOther politicos ripped Cuomo's team a new one.

Conservative pundit Guy Benson posted, “Cuomo spokesman on criticisms from [Janice Dean] (who lost both of her in-laws to COVID in NY nursing homes): ‘She’s not a credible source on anything except maybe the weather.'”
“Wow, what an a**hole,” he correctly observed.
Dean responded to Benson:
Even Brit Hume got into the act and tweeted:
“A governor’s spokesman saying that a woman is ‘not a credible source’ on the deaths of her own family members would be disgusting even if [Janice Dean] were *not* an accomplished, dynamic beacon of love & light, but she also is those things,” highlighted Kat Timpf.
“I love you,” Dean reacted.
“Wow, what an a**hole,” he correctly observed.
Dean responded to Benson:
Well this made me cry. Not because of the spokesperson because I’m so grateful for people like you, Guy.

No, really – when does Governor Cuomo apologize for this? It's disrespectful and patently condescending: https://t.co/D220NmNg8l

I wonder if this guy actually thinks it helps Cuomo’s case to dump on someone who lost loved ones because of Cuomo’s reckless policy of sending infected people into nursing homes where they infected others. Malpractice on two levels: human and political. https://t.co/S7th00aZE2

Nobody deserves to be treated the way Cuomo's arrogant lackeys treated Janice Dean, And New York's most vulnerable did not deserve the way Cuomo mistreated them.
