The presenter of The Daily Show, Trevor Noah, made a joke about his own admiration from the past for the troubled governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo.
The host devoted part of his program to mocking the politician on Monday after several women allegedly emerged from sexual harassment. The news comes at a time when Cuomo is also being criticized for his handling of the coronavirus for allegedly reporting up to as much as 50% of deaths in nursing homes to avoid federal investigation.
Noah ran into Cuomo, who was defending himself against the onslaught of the harassment by noting that he sometimes tried to be ‘playful’ with his employees.

Guys, of course he was playful. I mean, imagine your much older, politically powerful boss turning to you and saying, ‘When was the last time you were really embraced?’ it’s super playful. Can’t you feel your skin crawling from having fun? “he joked.” That’s the thing, even if Cuomo would have thought he was just playful, it’s still not OK. This is what bosses never look like. If you’re a boss, you should never be flirtatious with your employees, because as a boss, you’re basically a dragon, okay? No one is trying to embrace a dragon. They are just trying to get out of the cave in one piece. ‘
Noah’s remarks about the governor of New York are far from the comments he made last year when he was one of the many celebrities who praised Cuomo for his daily information sessions on dealing with the pandemic when the state became the center of the virus. wash. in 2020. During his monologue Monday, he cleverly winks that he once considered himself ‘Cuomosexual’.

“And I’ll tell you man, all the people who praised Cuomo so highly last year, those people really do not look so smart now,” he said before looking outside the camera and asking someone to “tie the tires. remove!’
“I mean, it must be so embarrassing, can you imagine if you’re one of those people?” he added before asking the person outside the camera to “burn” the tires.

“It was really very inspiring and refreshing to see a leader like Cuomo, Andrew Cuomo, the governor of New York, who came out and involved his briefings in a non-political way,” Noah said at the time. ‘He involved them as leaders, he engaged them as human beings, he also took the blame for things where he says’ look, I understand that I do certain things that people will hate me for and I’m willing to make these decisions because I think it’s the best thing for man first. We can always create business after that. I think he is informative, I think he is informed. “

He added: “Everyone has to be a Cuomosexual in that way. You have to love a leader who involves the people and remember that they serve the people, as opposed to the people who work for it. Every leader who does this in a crisis I do rejoice over them. “
