Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) argues in the New York Daily News that the recent indictment of the state’s lieutenant governor’s “raises troubling questions.”
But then he argues his own lieutenant governor, Kathy Hochul (D) — who is now governor because Cuomo himself resigned amid scandal — suffers from “no vision, planning, performance or accountability.”
He then adds: “It’s no secret that the Albany establishment wanted me out of office.”
