Andrew Cuomo pushed back against one of his biggest Democratic critics, implying that opposition to Cuomo regarding nursing home coronavirus deaths is merely the result of a political grudge. In a conference call with reporters on Wednesday, Cuomo went on the attack against New York State Assemblyman Ron Kim, who had recently signed a letter to colleagues accusing Cuomo of obstruction of justice. "I've had a – my office, more than me – has had a long and hostile relationship with Assemblyman Ron Kim," Cuomo said. Cuomo said Wednesday described what Kim did as "pay-to-play" and that Kim's behavior "was unethical, if not illegal." State Sen. Alessandra Biaggi, another recent critic of the governor, responded to Cuomo's attack on Kim with a warning.
