For longtime observers, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's suggestion that he could usurp the mayoralty of Bill de Blasio was a stunning escalation of a years-long feud that had cooled in recent months but was rooted in years of tension
On Tuesday, the Democratic governor said during a press conference that the instances of looting and property destruction that cam as peaceful protests took place one night earlier showed that"the NYPD and the mayor did not do their job last night." Then, he took it a step further."My option is to displace the mayor of New York City and bring in the National Guard -- as the governor, in a state of emergency -- and basically take over the mayor's job," Cuomo said.
Despite those disputes, both Cuomo and de Blasio have said they've found common ground during the pandemic and more recently amid the protests sparked by the death of George Floyd."I think the fact is that when there are so many areas where we've agreed during this crisis and our teams have worked together and we've made things happen, and then a few areas of disagreement, that's pretty normal. That's pretty human," de Blasio told radio station 1010 WINS.
