The New York Rangers Twitter account has posted a tweet applauding Governor Andrew Cuomo for his work in opening up the state. It is odd timing to praise the Governor as he meanders his way through numerous scandals.
Full tweet:
We applaud Governor Cuomo’s leadership in reopening New York. The Excelsior Pass program, along with his decision to allow venues to begin welcoming fans, will play important roles in helping to get our City back on its feet. https://t.co/dmiqkEU3wA

The Rangers are one of the state’s three National Hockey League (NHL) squads. Owner James Dolan is a storied crony of Cuomo’s, which may explain why the team, an apolitical entity, is taking a pro-Cuomo stance during a time when it makes absolutely no sense.
