Chris Cuomo has no interest in walking on eggshells when it comes to addressing issues pertaining to COVID-19. Florida governor Ron DeSantis joined Cuomo as a guest on a recent episode of “Cuomo Prime Time,” in which he discussed COVID-19 updates within Florida. But Cuomo certainly didn’t take it easy on the governor, asking him tough questions pertaining to his decision-making, and accusing him of holding Floridians “hostage.” 

In something of a rambling, breathless question, Cuomo asked, “How long do you allow the majority of this country, Republicans, Democrats, independents, south, north, the majority of every group and demographic we have, have gotten vaccinated, how long do you allow them to be held hostage in states, let’s say, like Florida, where you have the governor saying, ‘Yeah, I know it’s breaking out, I’m going the other way, don’t Fauci my Florida, no mask mandates, I’ll let the parents decide,’” he said, per the New York Post.  Cuomo was quick to criticize the governor’s COVID-19 relief tactics, holding the governor responsible for the nearly 21,000 new COVID-19 cases accounted for on one day alone and blaming them on his lax pandemic measures, per AP News.
