#Gov. Cuomo mocked for bizarre coronavirus ‘mountain’ display

#Gov. Cuomo mocked for bizarre coronavirus ‘mountain’ display

Gov. Andrew Cuomo went over the ledge Monday — unveiling a bizarre, school-project-like massive styrofoam mountain during a coronavirus briefing that Twitter users quickly mocked as something out of a sci-fi flick.

“We don’t need to climb another mountain. One mountain was enough. We don’t want to climb a mountain range. … We don’t want to do it again,” said the governor, standing next to the massive greenish three-dimensional structure that was designed to represent the contagion’s rise and fall in the state.

Cuomo, who has frequently talked about the state climbing a “mountain” during its battle against the coronavirus, unveiled the display with great flourish, whipping off a blue curtain to present it to the cameras.

Twitter was swift in its not-so-kind response.

“Your jedi mind tricks do not work on me governor,” one user wrote next to a picture of the mountain with the face of the “Return of the Jedi” character Jabba the Hutt from the “Star Wars” movie series superimposed on it.

Another tweeter compared the structure to the Devil’s Tower landmark formation in Wyoming that prominently figured in the flick “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.”

“Looks like that scene for “Close Encounters” when Richard Dreyfuss is compelled to build that mountain in his living room,” the person wrote.
