Adrienne Adams, NYC Council Speaker and mayoral candidate, emotionally addressed the impact of COVID-19 on her community, criticizing Andrew Cuomo's vaccine distribution decisions. She recounted her desperation to obtain vaccines for her father, who died after being turned away from a hospital. Adams' comments reflect a deep personal connection to the pandemic's toll while questioning Cuomo's management as his popularity remains despite various controversies, including sexual harassment allegations. This juxtaposition underscores the complex dynamics of voter sentiments regarding political figures amid personal and communal tragedies.
"I remember begging then governor Cuomo, begging his office to send life-saving vaccines to my community. And for weeks and months, our request was denied."
Cuomo's campaign spokesman calls it 'absolutely false' that the governor denied vaccines to city residents and 'a ridiculous assertion' that he weakened hospitals.
