04/07/2020 Tweet - "NYC is ground zero #Coronavirus. Upstate communities were asked to share unused ventilators. Some self-centered politicians objected. NYC regularly sends more money upstate than we get back in return. When this is over, perhaps we should #Cancel that."
03/28/2020 Tweet - "Florida Gov has set up checkpoints on I-95 to stop drivers from the NYC area. Instead of trying to scapegoat New Yorkers here's a thought. Look in the mirror. This is the same guy who allowed thousands of spring breakers to wildly party on Florida beaches for days. Shameless."
