New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has shown no remorse for his reckless COVID-19 policies which likely resulted in the avoidable deaths of thousands in his state. Despite growing pressure to resign, Cuomo said the only way he’d leave his position is if the state’s lawmakers impeached him. Unfortunately, nothing can bring back those New Yorkers who are no longer with us, but the state could pursue one course of action to try and right the unjust wrong imposed on its citizens: reparations.
Prominent Democratic lawmakers, such as Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, Sen. Chuck Schumer, and Rep. Jerrold Nadler have called for Cuomo’s resignation, not because of his COVID-19 leadership but accusations of sexual misconduct. Those currently demanding that Cuomo resign his post shouldn’t cease those calls, but they should be aware of the political reality facing them, especially since he chides those calls as a symptom of “cancel culture.”
