Cuomo unveils ‘self-portrait of America’: A wall of hundreds of protective masks

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo unveiled a collage of face masks on Wednesday at his daily press briefing, calling it a “self-portrait of America.”

The governor says his office has received thousands of masks from across the country as a show of support.

“You what know it spells? It spells love.”

“This is what this country is about and this is what Americans are about,” Cuomo said. “A little bit more of this and a little bit less of the partisanship and the ugliness and this country would be a better place.”

“This is a self-portrait of America,” says Cuomo pointing to a wall of masks sent from around the US. “And you what know it spells? It spells ‘Love.’ “A little bit more of this and a little bit less of the partisanship and the ugliness and this country would be a better place.” pic.twitter.com/LDhujwEojD

Continuing dialogue with Senate Leader Mitch McConnell, Cuomo also said on Wednesday that New York contributes $29 billion more to the federal government than it receives, while Kentucky – McConnell’s home state – receives $37 billion more than it gives.

Mitch McConnell and his partisan brigade are dividing our country.

Their not-so-subtle message is: The states with more COVID cases don't deserve help from the states with fewer cases b/c they are Democrats.

This is ugly and reprehensible — it's also wrong on the facts.
