Democrat Assemblyman Ron Kim told reporters this week that Governor Andrew Cuomo threatened to “destroy him” and ruin his career if the lawmaker refused to “cover-up” the administration’s nursing home scandal.
“Gov. Cuomo called me directly on Thursday to threaten my career if I did not cover up for Melissa [DeRosa] and what she said. He tried to pressure me to issue a statement, and it was a very traumatizing experience,” Kim said. Cuomo then told the assemblyman that “we’re in this business together and we don’t cross certain lines and he said I hadn’t seen his wrath and that he can destroy me,” according to Kim.
“No man has ever spoken to me like that in my entire life,” Kim recalled of his conversation with Cuomo. “At some point he tried to humiliate me, asking: ‘Are you a lawyer? I didn’t think so. You’re not a lawyer.’ It almost felt like in retrospect he was trying to bait me and anger me and say something inappropriate. I’m glad I didn’t.”
