Democrats in the New York State Assembly will weigh rescinding Governor Cuomo’s emergency powers as one of his top aides attempts to walk back her stunning admission that the administration covered up the true number of COVID nursing home deaths in order to avoid being attacked by the Trump administration.
The Democratic lawmakers plan to hold a conference Friday morning to discuss stripping the governor of the emergency powers granted to him last year when the pandemic began, local news outlet NY1 reported.
Secretary to the Governor Melissa DeRosa recently admitted that the Cuomo administration covered up the real data on coronavirus nursing home deaths in New York in order to hide the magnitude of the issue from federal authorities, the New York Post reported.
She apologized to state Democratic lawmakers during a recent video conference call, saying “we froze” out of fear that the true death toll would “be used against us” by federal prosecutors.
The state had been tabulating the deaths of nursing home residents who died after being transported to the hospital as hospital deaths, making it difficult to ascertain the actual number of residents who died....
However, a bipartisan group of New York lawmakers is already calling for a thorough investigation of the matter, and some have called for Cuomo to be criminally prosecuted. Some Democrats have specifically urged the legislature to reconsider allowing Cuomo’s emergency powers, granted to him in March.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, who often spars with Cuomo on local issues, said he agrees “100 percent” with stripping Cuomo of emergency powers...

Sink him. Bury him. Six feet.
CUOMO GOTTA GO!
CUOMO GOTTA GO!
Yes, and even the Dems don’t like the arrogant, grandstanding creep. So he may actually get a little payback.
Cuomo the Granny Killer must be indicted, tried and if found guilty, aborted.
And Chris and Fauci are best friends so there was a back door.
Q already told us about this in May.
Somebody should ask Cuomo how many people have to die before he cares.
I would suggest several thousand indictments on Murder One with consecutive sentences.
I’ll bet good $ Coumo and Melissa DeRosa are sleep together.
It’s only news if they actually do it. Otherwise, it’s virtue signaling and/or pandering.

And a lot was done about it...

There is evil and there is SUPEREVIL
He wasn’t called The Prince of Darkness while his father was governor because he was honest and caring.
FReepers with photoshop, feel free to update.
I know I’m probably being optimistic here but this scandal may actually stick. For me the tell was when the NY Atty General issued her report concerning the investigation into the undercounting of patients that died in nursing homes. A betrayal like that simply doesn’t happen, particularly in New York. And then the conversation with Democrat legislators gets leaked. That doesn’t happen either unless it’s something Donald Trump said. I think it’s too late to put the genie back in the bottle. It would appear that the long knives are out for Andy. Couldn’t happen to a more arrogant, worthless POS.
Cuomo is trying the Hillary, “what difference does it make now” defense. I don’t think people are buying it.
I dont understand how this info ever saw the light of day in the first place
Hot air. Anyone truly think anything will happen?
Dems can literally get away with murder.
I need emergency powers, Mr. Scott.
