'Our immune system and our current federal government is dysfunctional and incompetent—it couldn't fight off the virus,' Cuomo said during his remarks for the DNC.
On the first night of the Democratic National Convention , New York's Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo slammed Republican President Donald Trump over his response to the ongoing coronavirus epidemic.
"In many ways, COVID is just a metaphor," Cuomo said during his remarks at the DNC, which began virtually on Monday."The virus attacks when the body is weak and when it cannot defend itself. These past few years, America's body politic has been weakened.... In effect, our immune system and our current federal government is dysfunctional and incompetent—it couldn't fight off the virus.
"Americans learned the critical lesson: how vulnerable we are when we are divided, and how many lives can be lost when our government is incompetent," Cuomo added, stating that Trump's presidency has weakened the nation by exacerbating pre-existing racial, anti-immigrant and anti-Semitic sentimentsThen-New York Governor-elect Andrew Cuomo speaks to supporters at the Sheraton New York on election night, November 2, 2010.
Then, on March 8, Cuomo criticized the Trump administration's response in regards to expanding testing, stating,"We mobilized quickly, but the federal government has been slow off the mark and they continue to be slow. That's unacceptable."
