So it looks like Washington Post columnist Max Boot has decided to compete with his Never Trump WaPo colleague Jennifer Rubin to see who can be the bigger Andrew Cuomo fangirl/guy/person.

Rubin, you may recall, has frequently gushed over what she describes as Gov. Cuomo’s alleged “science“-based approach to managing the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak – in spite of vast amounts of documented evidence to the contrary.

Boot also praised Cuomo’s alleged leadership during the crisis in a column this week, declaring that while the Democratic governor “made his share of blunders”, he “got the big things right”:

Andrew Cuomo has made his share of blunders, including the decision to return patients with covid-19 to nursing homes, but he has gotten the big things right, writes @MaxBoot https://t.co/IzPMfPDN3r

Fox News senior meteorologist Janice Dean, who has been an outspoken advocate of holding Cuomo accountable for what she believes is his role in the coronavirus deaths of her in-laws because of his disastrous nursing home policy, took issue with Boot brushing off Cuomo’s deadly mistakes as mere “blunders”:

“Blunders” apparently is what @washingtonpost calls ordering over 6,000 Covid patients into nursing homes killing over 6,000 seniors. https://t.co/Zc957cnguW

In response, Boot played the whataboutism game because apparently he had no defense to give for his own column:

What do you call Trump’s mismanagement which has resulted in 150,000+ dead Americans?

Do you have a single criticism to offer? https://t.co/YZrF6CUTbi

Dean zapped back, correctly pointing out that Trump had nothing to do with Cuomo’s March 25th executive order forcing nursing homes to accept COVID-positive patients:

Awww touched a little nerve there didn’t I? Trump isn’t the one that signed the order that forced over 6,000 Covid patients into NH. That was your “little blunder” governor of NY.

Boot then trotted out the “Fox News” card because of course he did:

So the answer is that like a typical Fox employee you condemn a Democrat but don’t have a single bad word to say about a president who has done far worse. https://t.co/PCJLmfJl6g

Dean, however, persisted – and got the last word:

My answer is based on my husband’s parents dying in a nursing home of Covid in New York. https://t.co/2s8iUUggcM

Dean blasted Rubin as well recently for her ridiculous defenses of Cuomo.

In addition to being a Washington Post columnist, Boot is also a CNN analyst and an apologist for deceased terrorist mastermind Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, which tells us all we need to know about Max Boot’s opinions on things.
