The Issue: Ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s run for New York City mayor after his COVID “leadership.”
My family and friends will marvel if I’ve sustained a head harm, however I’m endorsing Andrew Cuomo (“Outs & ins of Cuomo backers,” April 7).
The options ought to by no means serve in any workplace. Nonetheless, I hope that Cuomo serves his time period behind bars.
The opposition to Cuomo’s candidacy correctly cites his disastrous resolution to require nursing houses to obtain hospital discharges with COVID. The bigger problem, too seldom aired, is that the Javits Center and the USNS Comfort had been spacious options that weren’t utilized. Cuomo selected to disregard these assets and that’s the reason he ought to be tried and convicted of killing 1000’s.
I stay up for him fixing New York City from jail.

Why do you always bash Cuomo in his candidacy for mayor?
He is essentially the most average of a group of uber-liberal, criminal-coddling candidates — the worst one being Zohran Mamdani, who’s an antisemitic socialist.

The “Hands Off” protests towards President Trump and Elon Musk appeared giant in quantity, however ineffective in convincing America that the final a number of months had been worse than the final 4 years (“Burning Fuse,” Karol Markowicz, April 9).
The screaming mobs provided no solutions for attracting people to their trigger, and solely spewed hate at our president and his alternative to research fraud and waste in our authorities.
The radical group-supported lots don’t symbolize common Americans, however as an alternative seem like people with time to spare, an ax to grind and nothing of worth to offer the taxpayers of this nation.
