[See NewsBusters for more.] New York Governor Andrew Cuomo joined CNN Newsroom host Kate Bolduan during the 3:00 hour Thursday to discuss his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and Jake Tapper's recent criticism of his victory lap and related poster. After Cuomo accused Tapper of not knowing what he was talking about, Tapper spent his 4:00 show attacking the White House.

Bolduan had asked Cuomo if, given developments in the rest of the country, "Are you celebrating too soon?" Despite his assertions of crushing the curve, Cuomo alleged, "Oh, we're not celebrating at all. That was Mr. Tapper's misconstruction in his own political interpretation, whichever you want to allow."
