, New York’s WAMC public radio did manage to get one serious question in about the nursing home scandal during their otherwise equally softballish-interview Thursday with New York’s so-called “Luv Guv.” His answer was as despicable as it was tone deaf:
“Do you ever change your mind, governor, about anything based on what these reporters are saying?” host Alan Chartock asked Cuomo. “I think about the nursing home situation, you got a lot of criticism from them, they asked one question after another. Is there anything you could point to in which you say ‘Ok, they really sort of have convinced me I’m on the wrong track here.’”
“No,” Cuomo replied. “The nursing home is an unfortunate situation on two levels. No. 1, people in nursing homes died. The nursing home is pure politics, the Republicans in Congress, they think there’s a vulnerability.”
“The nursing home thing it’s just all politics and it’s, frankly, the New York Post, and [columnist Michael] Goodwin, this is their way of defending Trump,” Cuomo continued.
[…]
“They don’t want to talk about what the federal government did on COVID. So they want to attack the Democrats for nursing home deaths. It’s the same M.O., just distract, you know create a shiny object to take attention off what they don’t want you to focus on,” Cuomo said Thursday. “We had the worst case in the United States because the federal government had no idea what was going on. Where was the CDC? And where was the NIH? And where was everybody?”
That’s just a disgraceful answer.

Jedi mind tricks work on weak-minded fools.
Cuomo is the Boss Tweed of the 21st Century.
He must have attended New York public schools to learn that kind of logic.
Like about 70-80% of the residents within a 20-mile radius of the Empire State Building. Guaranteeing a landslide victory for Sonny Cuomo over them yokels in other parts of the state.
Pay no attention to all those dead grannies behind that door, they’re all just Republican talking points.
Republicans are mad at me because I murdered thousands of innocent elderly black people in Assisted Living Facilities. Just politics, don’t worry about the dead.
Cuomo is a typical Democrat. Take responsibility for anything good that happens under their watch and blame Republicans for any bad thing that happens. It seems you have to be a pathological liar to be a elite Democrat these days.
And then, to add insult to injury, he denied the families of those old folks the right to give their loved ones a decent funeral ceremony.
Despicable.
Cuomo, like Soros, will pick through the estates of the dead.
Take oUT NY and NJ nursing home deaths and the year over year overall deaths aren’t far apart.
But make no mistake, he will be the self-appointed successor after joe biden croaks, provided he can out fib gruesome and eric “Lucy” garcetti in 2024. He’s already desperately rewriting his 2020 history for that race.
Maybe he should just apologize and say they wanted hospital beds to be used for corona patients they thought they were going to get? There is no way to really spin this but luckily he’s not a republican so it won’t stay in the news too long
He said that was to try to keep them safe.
He said the safety of NYers is his #1 priority
What a sick bass turd he is.
