Live: New York Governor Andrew Cuomo Holds Coronavirus Briefing | NBC News

31:37. Flipping off people like McConnell, Scott, and others for playing partisan politics. Love it!

I am from Florida and I am ashamed of Senator Scott. When Florida had Hurricanes Mathew and Irma hit Florida when he was Governor, NY power companies came down and helped get power restored in Florida. When Florida, one of the larger taker states, needed financial help after those hurricanes, NY as well as NJ, CT and other northeast states said, YES, we are one America. Now when it is time to return the favor, Sen Scott as well as other republicans who held out their hand at one time or another are saying NO. Heaven forbid there is a time Florida needs help again. NY, NJ, and CT will be there, why can't we be there for them now?

President of Hearts.... Every day when I come home from work here in Germany I watch his briefing. I like this guy. He is tough, smart itelligent and caring. What else can you look for? His words speak more to me than those of German politicians. It is so sad that he does not want to be in THAT office in Washington....would be perfect.

Thanks for being a straight talker, and caring about humans.

Poor man he is so exasperated. “Us” vs “Them” in a pandemic. 🇺🇸 that is so, so sad.

He’s trying to do his job, as efficiently as possible, to keep his citizenry safe. Whose putting roadblocks in his way? His own country’s Federal Government. Un f***ing believable!!

And WHY oh WHY are the reporters repeatedly asking the same questions? How many times does the poor guy have to repeat himself?? He remembers what questions they asked last week but they can’t remember his answers!! “Last week you told me people outside want to get back to work. Today you’re telling me #extendthelockdown is trending”!!

You are not my Governor, but I watch you almost daily! Great Leadership, wish it was contagious

31:37. When our governor is giving Mitch McConnell, Rick Scott and other un-American career politician the middle finger 🖕🏻

[billm]

It’s a bit unnerving that a display of common sense seems refreshing.

[Kazmarazin]

Cuomo is New York tough. God bless him. I love how he shut those two clowns down with FACTS.

[mariadesaferreira]

Everyday watching from Brasil!!🙏🏻🙏🏻True and best

[kettlebellyogini]

King of hearts is who you are Governor. I see you and Thank you for saying what needs to heard. 🙏🏻💖🦋

[carvalone]

YES!!! Who is the We and Them !!!!??? Preach it, Gov! You're a Godsend, Sir

[alexanderharris]

This is real history here. God bless America.

[mandyfish]

How good you would feel if this man was President, he speaks about this pandemic with conviction and gives the Americans hope. He cares about his people so much. The complete opposite to the plonker who is in the Whitehouse now.

Mr.Cuomo demonstrates what a responsible and caring leader is!

[maryannette]

Every day I listen to you and you are, well for once I don't have the right words, maybe the perfect blend of the Greatest Leader, candid, honest, human, and more. Please keep talking to us, you give me Hope in creating a better World for this time we are in and will be living in for a while. Please run for President and unify us. Thank you.

Watching this it finally clicked with me somehow: I don't want a president that is rich, handsome, young, old, eloquent, charming or forceful, he/she does not need even be intelligent, well versed in world history or overly qualified, doesn't matter if he/she is black or white republican or democrat.
I just want someone who is *principled* . That's all I want.

[dennislunsford]

These briefings offer clarity, facts and inspiration. The Whitehouse coronavirus briefings are contradictory, confusing, partisan and promote a sense of despair.

What a refreshing Speech by a real Leader for the people #theluvgov

[helenan]

I find Gov Cuomo's daily press conferences so professional and coherent. So refreshing and full of hope to see a politician like him. I'm not even an American, love from Europe, stay safe.
