New York Democrats seem “to be chasing more than the royal family at this point,” said Representative Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., “Hannity” on Friday after Sens. Chuck Schumer, DN.Y., and Kirsten Gillibrand, DN.Y., asked Governor Andrew Cuomo to step down due to allegations of sexual misconduct.
“” It’s not good, “said Gaetz to host Sean Hannity.” As a New York Democrat, when you lose Schumer, when you lose AOC [Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez], when you even lose [Rep.] Jerry Nadler, for God’s sake … “
The congressman then asked himself out loud: “Why is this happening now? I think it’s because the media no longer needs to protect Governor Cuomo, because they no longer need Governor Cuomo …
Gaetz explained that when the mainstream media was trying to “defame” then-President Trump, they needed a strong opposition figure to publicize it. Joe Biden, he said, was “napping in his basement”, so the alternative was the famous Cuomo.

“They built Cuomo like this Great Coronavirus Response Oracle, when the reality is … killing 15,000 people in New York State should be impeachment.”
Cuomo, a three-term governor in a state with no limits on government mandate, has enjoyed a veto-proof democratic legislative majority in Albany since the 2018 elections.
“Republicans have no power in this state,” said Hannity as he discussed calls for Cuomo’s ouster. “It is fascinating that all of this is driven by the Democratic Party.”

Gaetz then took the opportunity to say that the “Hannity” panelist, Dep. Lee Zeldin, RN.Y., would be a suitable replacement for Cuomo.
Zeldin, from Suffolk County, announced last week that he is actively exploring a race for governor in 2022.
