them who have ░░░░░░░░ that Tom could they ░░░░░░░░ held responsible then by ░░░░░░░░ like Andrew Cuomo HOMAN ░░░░░░░░ of all let s ░░░░░░░░ clear Governor Cuomo is ░░░░░░░░ misfacts here he s

░░░░░░░░ all I say this ░░░░░░░░ ll say the same ░░░░░░░░ to Governor Cuomo that ░░░░░░░░ said to Rep Jayapal ░░░░░░░░ my last hearing I ░░░░░░░░ a lot of taxes ░░░░░░░░ New York and I ░░░░░░░░ property in New York ░░░░░░░░ works for me He ░░░░░░░░ for the New York ░░░░░░░░ taxpayers He is accountable ░░░░░░░░ us not the other ░░░░░░░░ around We aren t ░░░░░░░░ to him So to ░░░░░░░░ to vilify law enforcement ░░░░░░░░ protecting the First Amendment ░░░░░░░░ for New York State ░░░░░░░░ is abhorrent It is ░░░░░░░░ that a governor would ░░░░░░░░ that SMITH Let s ░░░░░░░░ apart some of the ░░░░░░░░ though Because the quarantine ░░░░░░░░ that he has put ░░░░░░░░ place for his state ░░░░░░░░ are very strict much ░░░░░░░░ for any other state ░░░░░░░░ quite some time that ░░░░░░░░ issued by executive order ░░░░░░░░ Yeah I get that ░░░░░░░░ the state legislature has ░░░░░░░░ enacted any laws in ░░░░░░░░ state of New York ░░░░░░░░ the problem is it ░░░░░░░░ inconsistent across the country ░░░░░░░░ York State Governor Cuomo ░░░░░░░░ bee villifying law enforcement ░░░░░░░░ years It isn t ░░░░░░░░ this Covid thing that ░░░░░░░░ he attacks law enforcement ░░░░░░░░ has been

░░░░░░░░ tough restrictions on their ░░░░░░░░ you see and you ░░░░░░░░ that you believe the ░░░░░░░░ C and science and ░░░░░░░░ to wear a mask ░░░░░░░░ distance If that isn ░░░░░░░░ going on and that ░░░░░░░░ isn t going on ░░░░░░░░ some areas of the ░░░░░░░░ We don t like ░░░░░░░░ think so but it ░░░░░░░░ Should something be done ░░░░░░░░ a local or state ░░░░░░░░ to help enforce some ░░░░░░░░ the things that we ░░░░░░░░ significantly slow or stop ░░░░░░░░ spread of this virus ░░░░░░░░ anything be done to ░░░░░░░░ that HOMAN Maybe a ░░░░░░░░ official can enforce it ░░░░░░░░ he is asking someone ░░░░░░░░ do he is asking ░░░░░░░░ law enforcement to enforce ░░░░░░░░ that isn t a ░░░░░░░░ If he wants to ░░░░░░░░ down an executive order ░░░░░░░░ can t tell local ░░░░░░░░ enforcement enforce a law ░░░░░░░░ hasn t been enacted ░░░░░░░░ any state legislature and ░░░░░░░░ law abiding citizens and ░░░░░░░░ First Amendment rights at ░░░░░░░░ same time telling them ░░░░░░░░ aren t
