Cuomo Praises Kansas Farmer’s ‘Generosity Of Spirit’ For Donating N95 Mask To New York | MSNBC
Humanity at its best!
Humanity at it’s worse! https://youtu.be/RuiDi1FTSQQ
That’s why Clark Kent grew up in Kansas.

Please Donate Money To Me Superman
Too bad now Kansas votes all red to the heartless republicans.
Kansas used to be a hotbed of working class populism (especially during Superman’s earliest years in publication). Read Thomas Frank’s “What’s The Matter With Kansas” for more on that history.
The fictional Kent family embody all that is great about this country.
It doesn’t surprise me that a real life Kansas farmer mirrors that decency.
@psytrancedj Excellent reference and good read, thanks.
Such generosity – this man deserves a medal.
Medal? Lmaoo
@d4n93r I was!
And you deserve a Pap smear. I gave out 20 boxes of 10 mask each. I ain’t writing any letters
he would refuse it and ask it be given to a frontline worker.
thats the kind of person this kansas farmer is.
3 Things Fishing beats them getting medals for spewing hate on talk radio I suppose
Everyday heroes…thanks, Dennis and Sharon.
im crying on how the farmer is so giving,
He’s a sweetheart
This is beautiful! Kansans are the best kind of folks. Signed a NYC residing, Northeast Kansas girl.
My husband use to say The salt of the earth…middle America.
From a Nebraska gal thanks for word. I am watching this video though lol brcause on another post a gal put to effect that cuomo was so “fingering” the mask that he may have infected it. I doubt. Seems like he barely had it in his hands. Worried me to see that but it be I’m sure full gutting for Andrew to realize he made a problem instead of a solution. He seems a kind soul. I think he feels deeply.
@Evangelia Hernandez middle america put trump in offices
@edmundo oliver i like to call Kansas “central America” due to its location.
I call it indian land
Trump would have said: Great farmers in Kansas and they all love me because I do great,I am tremendous. You are fake news.
@W TF? Blah blah blah blah. Blah.
@John Gieler Blah blah blah blah. Blah.
@wildgoosedreaming1 great comeback. Must be a absent minded supporter.
W TF? And how extensive is the list of women Trump has sexually assaulted?
he will do better, he will give lysol IM to every farmers..
That is really moving. A shimmer of hope for America.
Take notice, trumpublicans.
Meanwhile Trump supporters go buy ALL the paper, fight in order to go out and screw everybody else
Too bad these days Kansas is all red .
@Pietro Jenkins No, not all, not at all.
This is so beautiful. THAT is what American spirit is all about.
That farmer is a patriot.
Governor Cuomo: WE
Trump: me, myself and I-nsanity!!
Insanity Hannity:
Did anyone say my name?
Gotta say it three times, like Beetlejuice.
Insanity and inhannity
According to a Washington D.C. POLICE REPORT, JOE BIDEN SEXUALLY ASSAULTED TARA READE. https://youtu.be/RuiDi1FTSQQ
That’s very nasty. Lol
W TF?
And? Trump killed thousands of people
That farmer represents all that is good in America but I doubt that the people who protest social distancing get this because they’re too self serving to grasp the concept of compassion.
@WindBreaker Thank you. Amazing how fast a narrative takes hold, especially in the group that likes to call people “low information voters”
@WindBreaker but they are protesting regulations that include social distancing
benny ko I suppose we are using 2 different definitions of ‘social distancing’ or possibly the degree that distancing is enforced. Trying to maintain 6’ apart from others, when possible, is ok. Forcing people to pause/cancel their livelihoods is what the protests are about.
@WindBreaker you’re going to have to wait like everyone else, stop your sniveling public health comes first, your livelihood probably can probably wait a while because it saves lives.
guy degregg no sniveling here son, just speaking facts.
Let’s send prayers and all energy to this wonderful being and his wife with one Lung with Diabetes all our love🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Antonio Alves done! 💗
@Pearl Vongpusanachai Ditto! 💗
God bless that farmer
I loved how he sped through the bit of praise the farmer gave him because it’s not important to him. Humility.
I caught that too!
Governor Cuomo is not an egomaniac like the imbecile in chief false leader Chump Trump.
I find myself watching Gov. Cuomo’s press conferences more and more than the actual guy in office. Why? I ask myself. Because the story is about someone else. Thank you governor. Your style of leadership is what the country need right now.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love to watch Gov Cuomo. He slips some good jokes in from time to time, too. I watch my Gov Newsom every day, too. Thank God for our good governors. <3
@barbara henninger yes Gov. Newsom is great. Thank God there are good people holding fort.
Very nice
He’s a nice governor, appreciated. It’s my first time be interested in a governor’s press conference and wait to watch it everyday.
This anecdote reminds me of his family dinner story (remember, spaghetti and meatballs?). Governor Cuomo’s ability to combine honest, clear update reports with gems like this is truly inspiring. These are the nuggets of hope and humanity that pull other people through times like this one. Leadership at its best.
This is the America I remember and hold on to, the America I love.
As we outside the US remember and hold so so dear…Shame get well soon🌹
Get rid of that trump and his mates…👍🇺🇸
Those of us in other countries hope it will get back to that one day
We too buddy ! cant wait thill this nightmare gets over
halo mary
Kia Kaha (stand tall) in Te Reo
This man could run for President right now. And lets face it…he’d be better then Biden.
he is beyond qualified… if i were a new yorker i’d be proud to have a governor like that
Do live in NY. Drivers licenses for illegals! You like thatn
Quivver77 He’s got my vote. Leadership in America’s current politics is awol.
@FlinchD COOL!
It’d be a landslide but we need people like Cuomo working not campaigning. That goes to other governors as well. The governors that shine in this crisis will likely be the next strong candidate, republican or democrat.
Now THIS, is how you make America great again. True patriotism has nothing to do with wearing a silly red hat, or wrapping yourself in the flag. Those are things you can train a monkey to do. True Patriotism is caring about what happens to one another. 👍

The best thing I have read for months, good luck from New Zealand
Serious facts ☝️
Well said.
Trump wishes he could fire Cuomo. 😂😆
David J yeeeesss he really do lol 😂 needed this laugh thanks
He can’t, but can you imagine the uprising if he did. New Yorkers have more chutzpah than anywhere else in the country and they hate Trump. Trump will never go back to NYC except to appear in SDNY court as the defendant, and Michael Cohen will be there as a witness. Governor Cuomo should get the Medal of Freedom from President Biden in the near future.
They will burn trump tower if he did
