BROOKLYN (VINnews/SandyEller) – Delving into the literary world with both guns blazing, former Assemblyman Dov Hikind has released his first book, a scathing spoof targeting Governor Andrew Cuomo and his handling of New York State during the pandemic.

Titled Leadership Lessons from King Cuomo, the 100 page book features a caricature of Cuomo placing a crown atop his head on its cover, but is entirely blank on the inside, reflecting Hikind’s views that Cuomo has nothing of value to say on dealing with a large scale crisis.
Cuomo’s recently published American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic is currently number ten on the New York Times’ bestseller list and features his thoughts on how New York went from being the epicenter of the pandemic to having one of the lowest COVID rates in the nation.
“The governor puts out a book about leadership, while his disastrous failure at the beginning of the pandemic caused up to 10,000 deaths in nursing homes after sending patients there with coronavirus,” Hikind told VIN News. “You don’t have to be a doctor or an expert to know that you don’t send a coronavirus patient to a senior residence. Worse yet, he never apologized and instead blamed everyone else; it is such a farce that he thinks he can teach us about leadership.”
A promotional book about the book lampooned Cuomo, noting that its pages would provide readers with a wealth of knowledge including “intimidation, loving the sound of your own voice, meandering, using your hand gestures to match your facial expressions and most importantly how to be a vengeful mobster [obscenity] especially when it concerns Jews.”
Hikind slammed Cuomo once again for overtly blaming the Orthodox Jewish community for the spread of COVID, sparking an increase in anti-Semitic acts and rhetoric. With COVID rates climbing nationwide, Hikind wondered who the governor might be targeting next.
“Who is he blaming now?” wondered Hikind. “Black people? Catholics? Protestant? Bisexuals? When you make a mistake you say I’m sorry, I made a mistake, but this governor blames everyone else and that is what he is teaching people.”
Leadership Lessons from King Cuomo retails for $19.99 with proceeds going to benefit Americans Against Anti-Semitism. Speaking just 15 minutes after the book’s release, the former assemblyman said that nearly 50 copies had already been purchased.
“This book is the one that people should be reading if they want to learn everything Cuomo knows about leadership,” said Hikind. “It is 100 pages of nothing.”
Books are nice Dov and I will buy it. Can we get the wki leaks verison for free? Just kidding.
But greater point, Dov, we need you and others to find a mayor for NYC that will stand up to the mafia, bully, dictator king antichos. Protect our institutions. We did it 1993 and we can do it now too. Build a collation. Now is the time for action before its too late. We don’t want a mayor stringer
I look with horror, how somebody that’s definitely a suspect in the deaths of thousands of people should have the audacity to release a book on how good he handled the pandemic. Not to minimize his horrible ego, he would never be able to pull off such a stunt without the news media covering up this scandal.
ah, Dov has come out with a new sefer, how nice.
instead of blank pages he should have put in the names of each person he caused to die in the nursing homes.
התגרות באומת אויפן העכסטען פארנעם.
where can it be bought?
How in the world is the word “authoring” apply to a book of blank pages? By the way this has been done before for other topics.
no good will come from it, that’s for sure.
Dov Dov that’s all you can come up with…
kunst kishen Cuomo in Tuches!
As mush as I despise ego manic Cuomo and I do believe that he should be held accountable for his mishandling the Covid-19 crisis, Hikind with his Yarmulka is doing a huge disservice for Yidden.
It would be great if a non-Jew would do what Hikind is doing.
But right wing Zionists as Hikind don’t care about consequences.
Maybe Dov can do a book on trump’s self-appointed 2017 Election Fraud Commission. That also found nothing, but created a big stench.
