Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) is attempting to shift blame onto President Trump for a New York directive that sent coronavirus patients into nursing homes, risking the lives of elderly, vulnerable people.
For weeks, despite access to the governor at daily press briefings, a fawning press failed to question the governor about an ill-conceived state directive that may be responsible for the staggering number of coronavirus deaths in New York nursing homes and adult care facilities.
A March 25th state directive required such facilities to admit patients with either suspected or confirmed cases of the Wuhan coronavirus. The directive even prohibited these facilities from requiring a coronavirus test for patients being admitted from a hospital. Cuomo only reversed the disastrous policy earlier this month.

The big problem with Cuomo’s argument is that most states did not follow the CDC guidelines about moving covid positive patients from hospitals to nursing homes.
There are only a half dozen DEMOCRAT states that did the same thing as Coumo.
There's just one thing - Democrat Governors and their media wingmen have been saying for weeks Trump doesn't have the authority to order them to do anything.
He wont be able to weasel out of this. The evidence is blatant, The deaths of Grandfathers and Grandmothers are his legacy now.....
“”””Nope; Cuomo and the other dem governors are Americas most notorious mass murderers now.””””
You are so correct. It was the DEMOCRAT governors who sent covid positive patients into the nursing homes.
I hope you will keep reminding FReepers of that fact as I will also do.
Cuomo cannot get by with the excuse that ‘other governors did the same’ without specifically telling exactly who of those other governors did the same thing.
Informative. Thanks.
Cuomo is in deep trouble over this and he knows it. That was a very anemic attack on Trump.
“Trump’s CDC made me do it”. Andrew Cuomo
That photo of Tucker makes me wish he spends the first entire minute of his next show saying, “It was Governor Cuomo, Not President Trump, who required nursing homes accept COVID-19 patients” over and over again. And then on the minute mark, say, “Everyone get that?” The media could not ignore that because they can’t resist any “stunt.” And the word would get out even to the vast legion of low-info mofos.
I think of him more as “Sonny” - the older, loudmouth thug who loved to beat people up, cheated on his wife, and finally got his due on the causeway. He was played to perfection by a young James Caan.
Cuomo has nobody to blame but himself.
President Trump: "Our country is in the midst of a great national trial, unlike any we have ever faced before. [...] Were at war with a deadly virus. Success in this fight will require the full absolute measure of our collective strength, love, and devotion. Its very important. Each of us has the power through our own choices and actions to save American lives and rescue the most vulnerable among us"
Pearl Harbor American Military killed: More than 2,300 killed!
9/11 fatalities: 2,996!
Cuomo killed 5500+ innocent seniors in NY Nursing homes by sending patients infected with the Corona Virus to these Nursing Homes.(1)
(1)Cuomo even tried to claim that the more-than-5,500 deaths connected to nursing homes in New York was a better toll, per capita, than most other states.
Now he is trying to blame President Trump for his murderous actions.
No the real problem with the CDC guidline is that it states the COVID patents needed to be quarentined for 14 days before introduction into the rest of the population. He didn’t even do that. They were just dumped there. This is murder!
Thanks,Gene!
Trump’s not going to let this stand.
He’s a NYer..it’s his home.
Cuomo is gonna pay for this.
Cuomo is not only a LEFTIST fanatic but also a FOOL, who is a KNOWN SERIAL LIAR & should RESIGN from office forever.
Like most DIMocRATS, he believes himself to be “BETTER in every way” than the citizens, who he (at least in theory) serves.

Other Rat Governors did this, they will back Cuomo’s claim and MSM will be right there helping. Trump better be ready.
I think of him more as Sonny - the older, loudmouth thug who loved to beat people up, cheated on his wife, and finally got his due on the causeway. He was played to perfection by a young James Caan.
How many of the 5 remaining blue states had a military ship, Samaritan Purse hospital, and a temporary hospital provided for them? Each one was set up to take Covid patients, but virtually none were sent to them. The president made sure that Governor Cuomo had a place to send them, he still refused and ordered them to be sent to nursing homes. Sad and catastrophic decision.
