“Play it again, please,” the governor ordered, and the recording was played for reporters again.
“Then there’s a tweet, from Heshy Tischler,” Cuomo continued, before reading a tweet from the agitator’s account: “Urgent: Who can print ‘Cuomo Hates Jews’ and ‘Cuomo Killed Thousands’ on flags?”

The governor added, “Some of those people will die. What’s the Trump campaign saying? Play politics,” Cuomo added. “It’s disgusting.”
