Pressure grows for ‘Cuomo to go’
Washington Examiner ^ | Feb 23 | by Paul Bedard

Posted on 02/23/2021 8:15:53 AM PST by RandFan

The campaign by critics of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s bid to hide nursing home COVID-19 deaths as he basked in media praise for his virus efforts is kicking into a higher gear today with a new video call for him to go.

The conservative Washington-based Committee to Unleash Prosperity is posting a video detailing the alleged failures of Cuomo’s virus efforts juxtaposed with his bragging book and Emmy for holding daily coronavirus briefings.

“Andrew Cuomo claims he protected nursing homes. It didn't work. Cuomo lied,” said the video shown to Secrets. “Seniors died in darkness while Cuomo took the spotlight,” it said, adding, “Cuomo lied. Seniors died.”

Committee member Phil Kerpen, also the president of American Commitment, a policy think tank, has been doggedly following the virus statistics and said Cuomo deserves special criticism.

“Governor Cuomo forced highly infectious patients into nursing homes despite widespread warnings that doing so would cost lives and worse hospital overcrowding. He kept this disastrous policy in place for six devastating weeks, and then steadfastly refused to disclose the real number of long-term care resident deaths in the state, hiding behind a ‘place of death’ number that was a fraction of the real number and inconsistent with reporting from every other state,” said Kerpen.

As awful a governor as he is, and his responsibility for the deaths of thousands of seniors in his state, the real reason his fellow Dems want him out is so they can install someone even more aligned with their hardcore left agenda.

Legitimate question. Maybe, with Trump safely deposed, they now feel more free to vent their spleen on a snot nosed a—hole they probably never did much like.

Right, he would never resign. He’ll brazen it out even if he’s carted to a tall lamp post.

Prison, he needs prison. And, maybe more.

I can only think of Gene Hackman: “I was going to make an expresso!” Young Frankenstein.

This is nothing less than the Left deciding who will be boss.

It ain’t Cuomo. Sorry buddy.

I wish he was the boss. Make Howard Dean look sane.

Good! Now go after Whitmer, Murphy, Wolf and Newsome. We need to see the statistics and Health Dept. orders from their administrations too.

Unfortunately, the Democrats control the Legislature, so Killer Cuomo is probably safe.

And he did this after President Trump had had a field hospital built for him and sent a hospital ship.

But older voters tend to vote more GOP, so...

I do think we need to keep up the drumbeat to drive him out, even though he won't go, for two reasons: 1. Lt. Governor Hochul might just be easier to beat, and
2. Continually bringing up this issue might be the best hope for a GOP governor.

“I do think we need to keep up the drumbeat to drive him out, “

It’s worthwhile, even if the end result is you just annoy him and others on the left.

Only NYS counted hospital deaths of nursing home residents separately

Go figure.

“It’s good for the people in NY to get what they voted for.”

It’s good for the people of America to get what they voted for. How’s Biden working out for you? You voted for him so suck it up.

My guess is that Don Cuomo had a deal with the nursing homes for seniors where they got extra dough for COVID patients, immunity from prosecution for ‘untimely deaths’, as long as the Don got to “wet his beak”.

“It’s good for the people of America to get what they voted for. How’s Biden working out for you? You voted for him so suck it up.”

That’s pretty cool. A fair observation causes you to go full on retard. I wish I could see the nervous ticks.

As you probably know when you’re in a more rational state, no I didn’t vote Biden. The election was stolen, but the people seem to be fine with that. I am watching, and hoping that America gets every bit of what they asked for, good and hard. Because either it will cause the masses to wake up, or there was no hope in the first place.

You may resume your regularly scheduled hysterics.
