Zeldin: Cuomo’s Millions from Book Deal Are ‘Blood Money’

Monday on Fox News Channel’s The Ingraham Angle, Representative and gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin (R-NY) said that the $5.1 million that lethally incompetent New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is set to receive from his book about the coronavirus pandemic “is blood money, profiting off of the suffering physically, emotionally, financially of your constituents, of New Yorkers.”

“The nursing home order and coverup, you’re talking about the loss of life, you’re profiting off of — really, this is blood money, profiting off of the suffering physically, emotionally, financially of your constituents, of New Yorkers,” Zeldin declared.

“What he should have done this time last year was show remorse, publicly apologize for the mistake of his order, be transparent with the public,” Zeldin continued. “He said he was too busy to provide that transparency. But he wasn’t too busy to go after this multimillion-dollar, self-congratulatory book deal. So, it has New Yorkers outraged.”

And so it should. New Yorkers should, at the very least, throw him out of office, if not investigate him for criminal charges in the COVID deaths of thousands.
