De Blasio calls for full investigation into Cuomo's handling of nursing home scandal
Washington Examiner ^ | 2/14/20 | Michael Lee

Posted on 02/14/2021 4:54:50 PM PST by Libloather

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio called for an investigation into an alleged cover-up by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s administration over how many patients died in nursing homes early in the COVID-19 pandemic.

"It's very troubling. We've got to know more. We now need a full accounting of what happened," de Blasio said during a radio interview on Friday.

"Think about seniors, who their lives were in the balance and their families, you know, just desperate to get them the help they needed," de Blasio continued. "We need to know exactly what happened here. We need to make sure nothing like this ever happens again."

The mayor’s comments come after a New York Post report revealed that Cuomo aide Melissa DeRosa admitted to state Democrats that the administration “froze” when the Justice Department started asking questions about its handling of the nursing home situation.

Kathy Hochul. She used to be the Erie County Clerk. Western New York hasn't produced a Governor since Grover Cleveland, I believe.

She used to be ok (for a Democrat), until she got all caught up in the heady air of big time politics. Now she is a cookie-cutter lib.

De Blasio is term limited. AOC wants to be a senator. I think he wants to be governor. So there’s that.

Me thinks Gov. Cuomo sees old people as a useless expense.

The New York Post reported that Bill Gates daughter Jennifer, a 24 year old second year medical student, has been vaccinated, when hundreds of thousands of New York’s 80 year olds are still waiting. Statistically, your average 80 year old is 300 times more apt to die from Covid-19 than Ms. Gates.

In New York, money talks.

Its a cover

Partly for de blah blah

Partly to give cred to democrats for “taking this seriously”

But its planned, nothing will come of it, its kabuki theater

DumblASSio sees a perfect deflection from his own abysmal failures by throwing Cuomo under the bus.

Black Lives Matter [New York City] leader states if US ‘doesn’t give us what we want, then we will burn down this system’

“[Hawk] Newsome told the host, “if this country doesn’t give us what we want, then we will burn down this system and replace it. All right?

And I could be speaking ... figuratively. I could be speaking literally.
It’s a matter of interpretation. ...”

When are high level DamnOrats ever held accountable for the crimes they commit? If Cuomo has to resign because of his murderous acts, it will be a resume enhancement. He’ll get a six digit no show job and wait this this all blows over before he is in public again.

LOL! De blasio is just another weasel. Cares only about his career and 3 martini lunches. He just feels the heat could spill over onto him and is distancing himself from Cuomo.

Comrade De Blasio and the arrogant liberal-elitist tone deaf idiot (murderer) governor have been at each other for years. Cuomo has on several occasions called for the removal of De Blasio as mayor of New York City. As dumb, arrogant and tone-deaf as Cuomo is, he is not hardcore commie left enough for those leading the movement to overthrow the government.

"Now even deblasio has turned on cuomo."

When you are as guilty as sin about destroying the city you are Mayor of, point the finger at the next guy, higher-up.
