In CNN Interview, Sen. Ted Cruz Presses Chris Cuomo About His Brother's Dangerous Nursing Home Policy That Killed Thousands of Elderly Covid-19 Patients

CNN anchor Chris Cuomo finally found himself a guest that was willing to press him about his brother's dangerous policies. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) held nothing back in their interview Wednesday night, including how Gov. Andrew Cuomo's nursing home mandate that forced facilities to accept recovering COVID patients left tens of thousands of seniors vulnerable. The state suggests that over 6,000 seniors died from COVID in elder care homes. But because New York doesn't take into account residents who died after being transferred to the hospital, we expect the number to be much higher.

On Wednesday, Gov. Cuomo tried to rewrite recent history.

Like Gov. Cuomo, Chris responded to the criticism about the nursing home order by deflecting to President Trump and suggesting it's his failure that has so far resulted in over 200,000 U.S. deaths. But Sen. Cruz kept pushing.

"It's particularly not right, Chris, when your brother has presided over the state with the highest death rate in the country," Cruz countered. 

The senator said it's time that they have a serious discussion about the governor's nursing home policy.

"Was it a mistake when your brother implemented a policy that nursing homes had to accept COVID positive patients and endangered the lives of tens of thousands of people?" the senator asked Cuomo without a beat. That policy, he said, was a "serious mistake."

"My brother was the first to say that there was a learning curve, mistakes were made, and they changed things as soon as they could," the anchor responded.

Cuomo took offense and said that instead of "sitting there and stroking his beard like a wise man," perhaps the senator should tell the president to "get on it."

Cruz replied, "How about telling your brother to get on it!"

Fox News senior meteorologist Janice Dean, who has been one of the heroes in the fight to get real answers from the governor, commended Sen. Cruz for his fiery interrogation.

Dean's in-laws were two of the thousands of New Yorkers who succumbed to the coronavirus in nursing homes. She has led calls for an independent investigation of the governor's nursing home policy.

How low, would have been our real Covid 19 death rate? If these granny killing democrat governors had gotten the virus and died in the first week? Instead of them killing the innocent grannies!

Mass murderers of nursing home patients!:

Faces of PSYCHOPATHS. Exhibit A.

And that little prick Fredo terms the nursing home murders (and that’s what they are) “a learning curve.”

Cuomo will do it again with the vaccine because anything Trump does he will do just the opposite.

Why doesn’t anyone point out that leftists *hate* the elderly and just want them to die? The two governors who put infected people with senior citizens are Cuomo and Whitmer.

Because they know that, even if an elderly person voted Republican, he'll be voting Democrat after he's gone.

“Mistakes were made...” libs are very good at observing how mistakes are made, from quantum foam, apparently.

Actually The USS Comfort, docked at Pier 90, treated 179 patients before leaving.

Someone should come right out and make the charge that they purposely killed off old folks to help their budget numbers.

Were they COVID or were they overflow regular patients (patients undergoing regular hospitalizations that had been moved to make room for COVID patients)?

It’s not just budget numbers that drives such euthanasia. Often it is just pure ideology. For example, a French Health Minister knew that the blood given to hemophiliacs was contaminated with HIV, but allowed it to be issued to them, giving every single one in the country AIDS, back before there was any effective treatment. This pretty much wiped out hereditary hemophilia in France by killing them all.

When it came to light, he just resigned with a shrug.

Truthfully, they only care about their own lives.

Gov. Richard D. Lamm of Colorado said that elderly people have a “duty to die and get out of the way” instead of trying to prolong their lives by artificial means.

Indeed. The culture of death marches on.

That was good, wasn't it?   (It should happen more often, with other guests on his show.)

Ted to Cuomo: When did the meeting happen where the democrats decided to kill 10’s of thousands of people?
Why was a known medicine that could have saved those lives banned by the democrats?
