A defensive Gov. Andrew Cuomo went on a 15-minute rant Friday in which he vowed to counter what he claimed were “lies” and “misinformation” about his handling of nursing homes amid the COVID-19 pandemic — and accused his critics of “causing pain” to the relatives of residents killed by the disease.
During a virtual news conference from Albany, Cuomo said, “I’m not going to let you hurt New Yorkers by lying about what happened. Surrounding the death of a loved one.”
“So, I’m going to take on the lies and the unscrupulous actors, especially when they cause pain and damage to New York,” he said.
“I should have done it before. And I should have done it more aggressively.”
“This is different,” he said.
“This is causing the pain to families who lost a loved one.”
His remarks, which appeared to have been scripted and were accompanied by slides reinforcing his message, came a day after the New York Law Journal reported that the FBI and the Brooklyn US Attorney’s Office had launched a probe of his COVID-19 task force in the wake of The Post’s report.

Just like a cornered narcissistic RAT.
O/T Reporter Paul Sperry banned from Twitter.
STOP USING TWITTER PEOPLE
Karma is a bitch.
You served your purpose and were too dumb to realize you were being used not because of your greatness, but because orange man bad.
Live by the sword; die by the sword.
Another f****** steam roller about to get steam rolled.
Is this POS Demonic still receiving his reward for his “outstanding leadership” during the COVID “crisis”?
“Live by the sword; die by the sword.”
Exactly.
Who is Sperry and where is the name mentioned in the report ?
What are “Twitter People” ?
Dont think I have hired them for anything around here, may have and didnt know it.
If you wanted to create the optimal environment to spread the disease as rapidly as possible to those most at risk, you’d do what Andy did.
In the days when the US Attorney for the Southern District of NY actually cared about prosecuting corruption, Cuomo would have already been out of office. The current US Attorney SDNY is Audrey Strauss, the mother-in-law of Melissa DeRosa, Cuomo’s top aide, who is married to an Uber executive and the daughter of one of the most prominent NY lobbyists.
It takes a different US Attorney to investigate what should never be a partisan issue.
President or governor - if you’re in charge when it happens, you’re responsible. Anyone who doesn’t like that should stay the hell out of office.
This thug juxtaposed against Rush’s death? ‘Makes Cuomo look even worse.
“They died, who cares”
AOC has decided she is ready to tell real “truth to power”:

Cuomo is a gangster and could have her killed—guess some things just have to be learned the hard way...
Is this an attempt to innoculate him against the "he killed nana" charges if/when he does run? Or has he been greenlighted for real?
If so, cui bono? Harris (more accurately her backers)? Obama? If it's Obama's machine, why would he prefer the idiot Harris over the idiot Cuomo?
We're not getting even half of the story here.
Why do you think the left is throwing Cuomo under the bus??? Normally they would ALL circle the wagons!!!
I hired Twitter in 2016 to read exactly what candidate Trump had to say.
I fired Twitter the day they banned President Trump.
May he consider Seppuku!
Well, the obvious answer is that Obama’s machine is behind this, but that’s so freaking obvious that I’m looking for something a little less...scripted.
Dunno, maybe it’s just a case of needing to accept Occam’s razor, but this looks really fishy.
