New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's political tactics are "to bully" and to "be filled with revenge and spite and backstabbing," U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin, R-N.Y., told "Hannity" on Friday.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee chimed in with his own observations during the same show.

"You know you're in trouble when you're Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat governor of New York, and you got AOC [Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez] and Alec Baldwin and members of your own party who smell the blood in the water and they're coming after him," said Huckabee, who joined Zeldin, Fox News contributor Charles Hurt and host Jason Chaffetz.

"His bullying has finally caught up with him and people are no longer pretending they're afraid of him, and they're speaking out," Huckabee added. "I think his time is limited. He may finish his term, but I think this is the last thing he'll do politically."

CNN and the governor's brother, Chris Cuomo, have deflected and downplayed Cuomo's controversies, with the far-left network giving its developments little to no airtime -- and giving host Chris Cuomo, the governor's little brother, free rein to conduct friendly, comical interviews with his older sibling.

"I still say, from 30,000 feet up, the far worst crime is the cover-up by the media," Hurt argued. "The degree to which the media is treating him like some kind of hero, treated him like some kind of hero from the beginning ... We're talking about thousands of people who died because of a directive he issued forcing COVID patients -- highly-transmissible, infectious COVID patients -- into nursing homes, into rooms with our most vulnerable people in the country."

As the outrage toward Cuomo grows, Huckabee says the Democratic governor's arrogance will do him in.

"Cuomo is simply unwilling to be accountable for his decisions ... " he claimed.

"His arrogance is so overwhelming that he refuses to say, 'I was wrong.' People will forgive you for being wrong, they will not forgive you for being arrogant and unwilling to accept responsibility when you have that job," Huckabee added.

As for what happens next, Zeldin predicted Cuomo would be stripped of his emergency powers, which are due to expire April 30.

"The Republicans in the New York State Assembly are pushing for impeachment ... It seems like there might be some Democratic support for that, we'll see where that goes ...

"There are a lot of different components here as to why Governor Cuomo needs to go ...," Zeldin concluded. "I'm a proud New Yorker. If we want to save our state, Cuomo's got to go."

"In Russia, some State Department personnel appealed to Moscow for doses of its Russian-made Sputnik V vaccine after Washington could not promise the delivery of US-made vaccines in the near future," the report outlined, citing officials. "The State Department is not recommending that its employees take it but is permitting them to make their own health decisions."

The publication also revealed that the frustration isn't limited to just Russia, with similar complaints coming in from American diplomats stationed around the world. The US State Department has requested 315,000 doses of vaccine to cover the entirety of its workforce but has received just 23 percent of this, the Post claims.

On Friday, Russia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs revealed that it had sent sent out invitations to all embassies in the country for their staff to be vaccinated.

"[This practice] is widespread in many states, and is quite understandable - successful fighting against the epidemic requires, as much as possible, a wide coverage of all people in the country," it stated.

While the US has not yet approved Sputnik V, the vaccine has already been authorized in 29 different countries, including Argentina, Mexico, and the UAE. The developers have also applied for European Union authorization through the European Medicines Agency (EMA). Last week, Hungary became the first EU country to begin inoculation using the Russian-made formula, despite a lack of approval from Brussels.

In Russia, mass vaccination began in January.

Created by Moscow's Gamaleya Institute, Sputnik V became the world's first Covid-19 vaccine to be registered in August last year. In February, British medical journal The Lancet published the preliminary results from the jab's phase III trial, which showed an efficacy of 91.6 percent.
