Cuomo says Post trying to ‘kill all Democrats’ with reporting on nursing homes

First he blamed nursing homes, then he blamed President Trump — and now Gov. Andrew Cuomo is attacking The Post for shining light on his widely panned state policy barring nursing homes from turning away coronavirus-positive patients, which may have fueled more than 5,000 deaths in the facilities.

“There are columnists who made this point at The Post who are 100 percent supportive of Donald Trump and that’s fine — but then believe, you know, we have to kill all Democrats,” Cuomo told reporters in Washington, DC, when asked whether the mandate came up during his meeting with the president about an hour earlier.

“I get it, I understand it,” Cuomo said from the National Press Club. “They’re open in their support of the Trump administration, and I guess their attitude is to be pro-Donald Trump, you have to be anti-Democrat, which I don’t really understand.”

NPR was the first source that I read about the left’s plan to purge (murder) nursing home residents. That was back in April. It took a while for other outlets to catch up. Many resisted probably because it was very critical of Dem governors.

It’s everybody else’s fault. Funny how upset Democrats get when even one media organ attacks them.

He's he really this stupid or is this an act?

Early March: Fedzilla changes regs to allow nursing homes to refuse.

March 25: Cuomo issues directive to send patients back regardless.

Early April: NYS passes budget that includes language protecting nursing homes from civil and criminal liability.

And up until a couple of weeks ago, Cuomo allowed positive staffers to continue working.

All this was known. And the media kept quiet. Until now.

What’s changed?

The dems have been waging an undeclared war (mostly with words) for 3½ + years now.

In war, the tactic is to kill the enemy and break his things, according to Rush. We have just begun to fight.

Sorry Andy COVID (D-NY)
