Hey, Chris here — how do you think your governor is handling the coronavirus in your state?
CNN Hey Chris, Forbes from Australia here. You guys are doing a great job, your brother is a legend and I watch from afar how you brilliantly hold the Trump admin to account. Keep going, best wishes to you, your brother, your family and the New Yorkers. And, if you guys ever need to bail on what goes down over there, Australia will welcome you with open arms. Best wishes dudes.
Short sighted!? 😣 don’t mess with the luv gov. Cause he’s a box of chocolates
CA Governor doing a great job. Governor Cuomo is AMAZING!! I Believe he would be an awesome President! He makes me feel safe, he gives me hope. I would love to see him run for President 💗🤗🙏🏼 Get well soon Chris!! 💗🙏🏼
Well considering my “Governor” Brian Kemp just found out about asymptomatic spreaders less than a week ago, where as I had already knew in March, I’d say quite terribly.
Kate Brown is doing fine. I wish your brother would run for President.
Once again, all started with MEEEEEEEEE.
You won’t become President by playing video games. It will take lots of studying and broccoli. Maybe some kale.
Who in their right mind would want to be President now? lol
Alice’s Rabbit that’s right . There you’re a hypocrite. Witch makes you a racist weak person. What it must be like to be so hateful and weak?
@Damn Yankee
Oh, so you are “Buddy Guy’s” other troll account. How many other accounts do you have in this thread?
kittylovemeforyou.link/u4pX7UZbW4z
Alice’s Rabbit just one . Is that a problem? Is it ok with you if I just have one?
THIS COUNTRY HAS A HUGE DADDY ISSUE!!
J CC lol oh that’s for sureeeeeeeeee
Yeah😂 reminds me of Kanye and Trump… also how the nation couldn’t fathom our TV dad Bill Cosby capable rape🙄
#daddyissues
It’s a patriarchal society.
I believe survivors. No on Joe. #BelieveSurvivors
J CC I like people that do good jobs
Lets just draft him as the 2020 candidate. I don’t even know where Biden is right now.
Yup!!
@♿NPC-COVID19 hahahahahha,
@Florida Man I want Cuomo to be my President, Biden and Trump have to go,
CNN knows that Cuomo or Biden’s VP may be the only democrat who could stop a Bernie-ally like Ro Khanna in the 2024 or 2028 democratic presidential nomination. .
Florida Man Neither does Biden!!!
Everytime someone does a good job doing their job these guys want them to run for President.
CNN knows that Cuomo or Biden’s VP may be the only democrat who could stop a Bernie-ally like Ro Khanna in the 2024 or 2028 democratic presidential nomination. .
How is he doing his job right?? He also delayed taking action…. NY is digging mass graves now…

There conversations on TV are always hilarious lol
799 NYers died yesterday but the Cuomo’s are so funny though, right?
05:55 – 05:21
Sounds like an interrogation 😂
Ask him again tomorrow just to make sure
When democratic party realizes that Biden has dementia, this would be their solution
obama spread his legs for chinese hitler Xi for 8 years. trump said china was the #1 Enemy and he was right ! ill vote for the most Anti C.C.P. candidate and so will most people. china was cool before Xi but now its like North Korea ! (and using bioterror weapons on us)
I believe survivors. No on Joe. #BelieveSurvivors
@Hey Hayes You are seriously delusional
@SteadyChaos Productions You just described trumputin
The current President is insane & nobody seems to care……what’s a little dementia on the sundae??
So Coumo says no like 10 times and cnn still says maybe?????
Boris Johnson said many times he did not want to be PM. Many more times than 10.
@Dearly Diane
It won’t be Biden. Why do you think that Obama has not endorsed him? He knows something you don’t. He will endorse the winner at the convention in August. Even Trump has mentioned this. He knows that Biden is a smoke screen to throw Trump’s campaign strategy off, but Trump’s on to them. Can’t stump the Trump. He knows it will be Trump vs Hillary 2.0. and he’s letting Obama know, that he knows. Trump is always ten steps ahead of them.

When your bro works at CNN:
@socal rocks When your son and siblings make billions in Ukraine!
When Hitler see TV:
look at all the sexist, racist Bernie Bros that harass women online, because they are Incels, while Jamal, Darius, and Daeqwan go out with all the girls they had crushes on. Biden 2020
When the peasants argue with each other over the ruling class political puppets.
Cnn is fired
God no. Please god no. He’s doing a good job during corona that’s it. This emergency leader thing we have for people is nuts.
@John Lyons *Alex Jones has joined the chat
Good job according to millennials = Gives the daily update and says things are improving, when they aren’t.
Muddbug so what would you do.
New York has 1/3rd of every corona case and death in the us…
Libtards: Cuomo is doing an amazing job…
That interview was hilarious! 🤣🤣😂
He literally said no, with certainty, how many times?
Let CNN have their hopes and wishes. This way they can’t fiddle with reality.
This is to occupy Dem minds and let them forget that they are forced to vote for the loser Biden.

Kevin Zhang Too many skeletons and dead bodies.
How does it makes sense Biden is 77
That means when is first “4 years” end, he’ll be 81 ……. if he get re-elect at the end of his second terms he’ll be 85
The guy is already senile
What would it be at 85 ???????
Biden only plans to serve 1 term.
hugo bonin 😂😝😂😝😂😝😝😝 fat chance of that lolllll
Big ears Osama has a secret weapon that’s funny too maybe its Vladimir. Tell Vladimir I’ll have more flexibility after the election

does someone want to tell him biden isnt going to win…..
When governors are neck deep in running their own state the last thing on their mind is a presidential campaign. Especially when asked by their little brother. Albeit, a big little brother 😊.
Cuomo is as Bought & Owned and Neoliberal as they come. He’s a tool of monopolies, police union lobbies & private prisons, and the wealthy & lobbyists who fund his campaigns for Mayor.
@ScootMagoot46Good. I hope Biden does too so he has a War Chest to beat Trump. Democrats have had to sacrifice some integrity to win elections after SCOTUS turned money into free speech. But the Senate needs to be flipped for a good 4-6 years to publicly fund elections.

Cuomo so good like jfk
CNN: look, another opportunist corporatist establishment tool for president (mouth watering, 🤑)!
Me: 🤮
chris is such a fucking hack who has been wrong about literally every single thing in the last 2 decades. mind blowing that he still has a job
CNN knows that Cuomo or Biden’s VP may be the only democrat who could stop a Bernie-ally like Ro Khanna in the 2024 or 2028 democratic presidential nomination. .
He says he’s promised that when he became governor that he wouldn’t run for president because he doesn’t want it all about him. So much respect for him. He’ll keep my home state safe and I’m happy about that 🙂
Dude is a bought & owned, neoliberal hack. He’s been horrible for New York over the years. Jesus Christ.
Cuomo cut social security , don’t make him a hero
Leave Governor Cuomo alone, he officially said he does not want to ever run for president. I am from New York, I love Governor Cuomo.
