Somebody needs to tell Gov. Andrew Cuomo that when you are in a hole, it’s time to stop digging. Once again at his Emmy Award-winning press conference on Friday, Cuomo deflected and denied when faced with his mishandling of nursing homes and state data. He continued to blame something he calls a “void” in information. Friday there was even a picture of the void in his PowerPoint presentation. It looked like a black hole in space, and Cuomo looked like a shaken shell of a governor.
It’s almost sad how the mighty have fallen. The only void at work here is one of competent leadership. Cuomo refuses to answer straightforward questions about his own attorney general’s report showing he undercounted deaths. He also refuses to address an admission by his staff that the numbers were hidden on purpose. Cuomo may be living in a sci-fi fantasyland where he did nothing wrong and the Trump administration was out to get him, but increasingly other Democrats aren’t buying it.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez became the latest in a cavalcade of Cuomo’s party mates to call for an end of his emergency powers and an investigation.

The game is up. The only question left is how long Cuomo will continue to delude himself into thinking this will all just go away.
At the very least, the governor’s emergency powers need to be stripped, yesterday. This was true before the current scandal, but with so much evidence mounting that his administration knowingly lied, he can no longer be the only person with the keys to the state government castle. The reign of Cuomo must end now.

He is truly a sociopath.
he is blaming nursing homes now.
i hope this rubs off on Fredo and makes him toxic, too.
My thoughts exactly
He meant this, in a news conference, to sort of justify his actions.
Am I wrong? Or did anyone elese catch this...?
maybe you are thinking of this
he did say that.
Yeah, but Ted Cruz went to Cancun.
CANCUN!!!!
Great article.
No, no it isn’t. And they have not fallen nearly far enough. Not by a long shot.
Over there! Look, a squirrel!
He needs to fall all the way to the facility at Ossining.
wonder what his cut was of the profits.
He was brutal with Brooklyn and Queens.
Cut him some slack.....he’s cool....he’s got pierced nipples.
There's a side of me that says "follow the money"...it's no secret that Cuomo, as well as several other Democrat run states, are severely in debt with no hope of balancing their budgets.
Why? Because they don't care about budgets...they are not fiscally responsible and pour all taxpayers' money into whatever welfare programs will help ensure their power...am I Correct?
Now...if eliminating tens of thousands of elderly people living in nursing homes can take some pressure off of the budget, and you can eliminate those people (because "they're gonna die anyway")....
Why not send covid infected people into nursing homes...?
How many nursing homes are there in NY state..?
God, I hope I’m wrong...but I fear I’m not.
Let’s not forget that Cuomo, along with other Democrat Governors, also made it a priority to never, ever make Trump look good, or even competent. Trump even pulled a lot of strings to quickly get Cuomo a hospital ship, which was never used.
Cuomo is completely corrupt.
With all of the parents and grandparents he has killed, he’ll be looking over his shoulder for the rest of his life.
Cuomo knows exactly what he did and is taking a BIG gamble on coming out of this unscathed and eventually running for President, and now he is panicking. That’s why the Dems cajoled Hollywood into actually giving him an award, and his televised yukfest with his creepy brother on CNN. He knows he f*cked up, but still won’t acknowledge it. I hope he keeps digging.
BTW, let’s keep in mind that Cuomo is a Governor and has massive executive power at his disposal to do things in the state under his jurisdiction. Ted Cruz is a Senator and has legislative power, meaning he has 1/100th of the votes in the Senate; he wields zero executive power to help the people of Texas.
