OPINION:
Yet another recent news item (I’ve counted four in The Times so far) hints at the possibility of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo becoming the running mate of Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden, or even the eventual Democratic presidential nominee himself, based on his performance during the coronavirus outbreak (“Cuomo frenzy builds in a Sanders-less race,” Web, April 8). Before anyone becomes too enamored with Mr. Cuomo, let us not forget that just over a year ago, in January 2019, it was he who directed the macabre pink lighting of One World Trade Center to “celebrate” his state legislature’s passing of expanded abortion rights in New York.
Mr. Cuomo’s part in politicizing the public landmark that has come to represent freedom and fortitude in the face of the 9/11 terror attacks conveyed a decidedly different view on concern for human lives.
