New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo disclosed Monday that he was paid a US$3.1 million advance to write his COVID-19 leadership book last year and under his publishing contract will make another US$2 million on the memoir over the next two years.

The Democrat had, for months, declined to say how much money he made from writing "American Crisis: Leadership Lessons From the COVID-19 Pandemic."

At the time, Cuomo was criticized for penning a book touting his performance on the virus while the crisis was ongoing. Cuomo spokesperson Richard Azzopardi has repeatedly said that state employees who helped with the book did so on their own time in a "volunteer" capacity. Critics say the administration was purposely obscuring the true death toll to mute criticism that Cuomo hadn't done enough to protect nursing home residents. The governor and the state's health commissioner have said the numbers were withheld because the state had trouble verifying them.

That'll buy some fancy nipple-rings I'd imagine 😁🤮

Every penny he gets should be forwarded to the several women who have accused him of misconduct. Any further money should be given to the families of the dead Nursing Home residents in NYC that Cuomo tried to hide from the public and the Government of the USA.
