Still The Gold Standard?
During an April 2020 appearance with Jimmy Fallon from his basement in Delaware, Joe Biden called Andrew Cuomo “the gold standard” for management of the pandemic.
On Sunday, ABC correspondent Jonathan Karl asked press secretary Jen Psaki on Sunday whether that evaluation still stands in light of Cuomo’s alleged concealing of data and misdirection of state legislators.
No surprise: Psaki dodged the question, saying the Biden works with Cuomo “just like we work with governors across the country.”
“It doesn’t always have to be a yes or no answer,” Psaki reiterated when pressed. “I think the president is focused on his goal, his objective as president of the United States.”
