This proves premeditation by some group in attacking Cuomo politically. They had to analyze all the potential fallout as exampled by one negative factor being the Democrat low moral exposure. They then had to formulate a virtue counter argument with enough sophistication to be able to gaslight people. This is not an easy task and takes time to formulate. Rubin may only be the outlet, but a group of psychology/sociology trained people have worked on this for quite a while.
