The headline was clearly provided to provide jokes.
Because the article doesn’t back up the assertion of the headline. The article notes that he’s been in office for nine months, but makes no mention of the progress he’s made towards getting rid of the mob since being elected governor.
Instead the article goes off on a tangent about how mob leaders might be secretly gay.
New math...Gay = Good; Mobsters = Bad; Gay Mobsters = Great because we say so!
