NY Governor Cuomo Fails Civics Test ... Doesn't Understand Federal Form of Government

Latest update on Cuomo's ignorance of the USA Federalist Governments structure. SMH

De Blasio: NYC Might ‘Shelter in Place.’ Cuomo: No, It Won’t.
On Tuesday, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced he was considering a shelter-in-place order for New York City, and that he would make the determination in the next 48 hours. The order, if implemented, would restrict New Yorkers from leaving their homes “except for essential needs,” like shopping for food and visiting health-care providers.

Apparently, New York governor Andrew Cuomo didn’t take the possibility seriously at all.
“Any blanket quarantine or shelter in place policy would require State action and as the Governor has said,
there is no consideration of that for any locality at this time,” a statement from Cuomo’s office read.

In a news meeting this morning, Cuomo said the Federal Government should dictate to states whether their schools should be closed, that their restaurants must close, and on and on.
Unfortunately, the Federal Government only has jurisdiction over interstate commerce.

It's not a good look when a State Governor invites the National Government to ignore the Constitution and dictate to States those laws and regulations that are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Socialism is weakening the fabric of the USA Federalist form of Government!

Could a ‘Draft Cuomo’ Movement Be in the Democrats’ Future?
It’s not out of the question if Biden keeps looking out of touch and irrelevant.
Democrats are publicly talking about “contingency options” for their July convention in Milwaukee in case the coronavirus persists in being a public-health threat. But privately, some are also talking about needing a Plan B if Joe Biden, their nominee apparent, continues to flounder.

Some Democrats are openly talking up New York governor Andrew Cuomo, whose profile has soared during the crisis, as a Biden stand-in. Yesterday, a Draft Cuomo 2020 account on Twitter announced that “Times have changed & we need Gov. Cuomo to be the nominee. Our next POTUS must be one w/an ability to lead thru this crisis.”

Cuomo gets a lot of free publicity because of NYC but he probably couldn't even win the state of New York. A media favorite but with almost no widespread appeal.

Looks like De Blasio understood the situation better than Cuomo!

There does seem to be a great deal of ignorance amongst New York politicians about the Federal Style of governments we have in the United States of America.
First it was Cuomo and now it's De Blasio ... or could it be, they are trying to shift blame from themselves to Trump?

Of course, the ignorant dumbbutts at MSNBC don't have a clue.
Apparently, no one at MSNBC ever read the Constitution or took a civics class in school.
All they studied was Marx, Lenin and Socialism.
