Cuomo's In-Laws Are Rooting For The other Guy

A source close to the details told Breitbart News that at a fundraiser Saturday night in Southampton, GOP gubernatorial candidate Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) declared that there and maintaining his campaign was the father-in-law and mother-in-law of Chris Cuomo—the CNN anchor and brother of current vulnerable Democrat Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY), who Zeldin is challenging.

The fundraiser was held in Southampton Village at Walter Deane’s home and brought around 200 Zeldin supporters with lawyer Rainer Greeven and wife Regina among them – Chris Cuomo’s in-laws.

It is estimated that well over $100,000 was raised at the event which was co-organized by Chele Farley.

As Breitbart News reported, Zeldin has already outraised Cuomo in the last fundraising quarter with a remarkable amount of more than $4 million to $2.3 million, according to the Zeldin campaign.

Even though Cuomo’s fundraising curbed down in the quarter, the Washington Examiner reported the governor who is in his third term has $18.5 million cash on hand. This is $15 million more than Zeldin has available.

Earlier this year the siblings brought significant media attention when Chris overlooked a report stating his brother hid the number of coronavirus-related nursing home deaths to evade probe, receiving criticism as a result, as Breitbart News reported.

Chris was also charged with joining strategy calls telling his brother how to respond to sexual harassment allegations.

In March the Times Union and Washington Post reported Governor Cuomo instructed state health officials to “prioritize” coronavirus testing for members of his family, including his brother Chris.

Breitbart News reported seven people with direct experience claimed Andrew Cuomo gave preferential coronavirus testing to his immediate family, including his brother, Chris Cuomo.

Due to Andrew Cuomo’s influence, Chris Cuomo reportedly received “attention that appeared to go beyond that of others, receiving multiple visits at their Hamptons home from Department of Health physician Eleanor Adams, according to two people familiar with the visits.”

Cuomo’s administration supported his approach to testing and denied the preferential treatment claims.

Back in February, Zeldin said Andrew Cuomo's political tactics are meant to "to bully" and to "be filled with revenge and spite and backstabbing," he told "Hannity" on Friday.

The congressman's remarks came during a review of the coronavirus-related nursing home scandal that has battered Cuomo's administration.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee chimed in with his own observations during that same program.

"You know you’re in trouble when you’re Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat governor of New York, and you got AOC [Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez] and Alec Baldwin and members of your own party who smell the blood in the water and they’re coming after him," said Huckabee, who joined Zeldin, Fox News contributor Charles Hurt and host Jason Chaffetz.
