Cuomo aide says state Democratic lawmaker made up threat by governor to “destroy” him

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Wednesday accused Democratic State Assemblyman Ron Kim of lying to the media about what transpired during a heated phone call last week in which the governor allegedly threatened to "destroy" Kim over his remarks on the state’s nursing home scandal.
Kim said Cuomo made the threat hours after the New York Post reported one of the governor’s top aides admitted during a private call that his administration withheld data because they worried it could be "used against us" in a federal probe. In response to the report last Thursday, Kim said the aide’s remarks sounded "like they admitted that they were trying to dodge having any incriminating evidence."
Hours after Kim’s comment was published, the assemblyman received a phone call from Cuomo, who reportedly threatened to tarnish his reputation unless he walked back the claim in a new statement. But Rich Azzopardi, a senior advisor to Cuomo, said Kim is "lying" about the conversation.
"Mr. Kim is lying about his conversation with Governor Cuomo Thursday night. I know because I was one of three other people in the room when the phone call occurred," Azzopardi said. "At no time did anyone threaten to 'destroy' anyone with their 'wrath' nor engage in a 'coverup.' That's beyond the pale and is unfortunately part of a years-long pattern of lies by Mr. Kim against this administration."

Oooohhhh. The plot thickens.
So, Azzopardi is saying the CNN report is fake news.

Cuomo probably makes that threat so often it means nothing to him, just another Tuesday 9:00 phone call with some schmuck who better kiss the ring or else....

I’m gonna side right now with the person that’s not a serial killer that’s murdered more than 13000 elderly people.

It should be easy enough for the guy to show his call log.

Politicians make terrible calls and people die sometimes. The problem that I have is that #1 he refused to change the order to send them back into the Nursing Homes even after it was seen to be causing all this #2 he actively tried to cover it up and even wrote a book about how good he did. It is really psychopathic behavior.

So who should we believe; the Assemblyman who we don't know if he has lied to us or the governor/governor's office that HAS lied to us.
Come on, we all know Cuomo and his aides can't be trusted. They have no credibility left.

Cuomo's aide said that Cuomo didn't do anything bad? The hell you say?

Kim should offer to take a lie detector test
