The recent photograph of Gov. Cuomo without a mask quickly spread across social media. In the image, the Democrat is seen holding a dog leash and ironically standing next to someone else who is wearing a mask.

Critics are branding Cuomo as a hypocrite, claiming that he’s not practicing what he preaches. People who take issue with the New York governor are also referencing and slamming his many tweets calling for people to “wear a mask.”
In addition to calling for a nationwide mask mandate, the New York governor has gone on record claiming that wearing a mask is all about “respect.” Over July 4th weekend, Cuomo stated that the “real patriots” in America are individuals who wear face masks.
The most recent image does not mark the first time the New York governor has forgone a mask. Several conservative news outlets have jumped onto this new development as well; much of the coverage shows numerous tweets of Cuomo calling for everyone to “mask up.”
