“Well, it doesn’t always have to be a yes or no answer!” Biden’s press secretary, Jen Psaky was reduced to a blubbering stutter after an ABC journalist asks her if Democrat governor Andrew Cuomo is the Gold Standard of leadership.
Joe Biden has said that Emmy-winner Andrew Cuomo is the Gold Standard of governors. And, to Joe Biden, he probably is:
Unfortunately, Andrew Cuomo also seems to (allegedly) lie. A lot. In fact, even CNN admits that the magnitude of his cover-ups can no longer be overstated. But, still, a liar must continue lying.
Now, even the Biden administrations press secretary, Jen Psaky appears to no longer know how to address the fact that they supported such a villain. Or, perhaps she is just stunned that a reporter from the mainstream media would ask a difficult question about any Democrat like Andrew Cuomo and she was just caught off guard.
This is quite bizarre since this is only the latest–though perhaps the most egregious–scandal surrounding Cuomo and his response to the Covid-19 pandemic. There are numerous other scandals that she must be aware of:
The idea that the only Cuomo scandal is him hiding data on nursing home deaths is nonsense. Cuomo has had at least 10 different scandals throughout the pandemic that have been whitewashed or drastically donwplayed. That was just one of them.

Nevertheless, Psaky persisted:
Q: Does President Biden still believe that Andrew Cuomo represents the "gold standard" on leadership during this pandemic? Just a yes or no.

Many politicians–including democrats–accuse Cuomo of using mob tactics as well as obstruction of justice, in addition to killing old people i nursing homes.
It has gotten so bad for the embattled New York governor that up to 30 Democrats now support a Cuomo impeachment inquiry.
And, according to Breaking 911, the number is steadily increasing:

This is all just talk so far. We will let you know if the Democrats actually pull the trigger on impeachment proceedings and–more improbably–if they actually do impeach him.
