There’s a reason that Gov. Cuomo, Emmy-winning TV star and best-selling leader of the fight against the coronavirus, has abruptly gone dark.
Actually, there are a few reasons.
The fatal moment, politically speaking, probably wasn’t Cuomo’s decision last March — when it looked like the hospital system here could collapse like it had in Italy — to require nursing homes to take medically stable patients back in from hospitals without testing them for COVID and to give both nursing homes and hospitals a legal shield. It’s his refusal, nearly a year later, to acknowledge the literally fatal consequences of that decision.
Last month, Attorney General Letitia James released a devastating report estimating that the number of deaths of nursing home residents in hospitals was 50% greater than the state had previously acknowledged, forcing Cuomo’s health commissioner to finally disclose 4,000 additional deaths tied to nursing homes.
Cuomo shrugged, arguing that since we already knew how many total people had died, the breakdown he’d concealed for nearly a year was a mere detail:
“Who cares [if they] died in the hospital, died in a nursing home? They died.”
That was remarkably callous, more so because he’d had so long to prepare his answer. But Cuomo simply isn’t built to admit a mistake.
Then came his chief aide Melissa DeRosa’s blackmail-attempt-turned-confession on a conference call with Democratic lawmakers two weeks ago. That’s where she told them that the administration hadn’t turned over the coronavirus-related nursing home death numbers they’d been asking for since last spring because Trump’s Justice Department had asked for the same numbers last summer.

how do we get HUH trending?
Repeat it often enough, and it’ll happen. “Leftard” is already an established part of the vocabulary, along with “piece treaty” and “Joseph Stolen”. If it resonates, it’ll catch on.
I think this is maybe related to 2024.
There is no clear person who will follow Biden.
If you can answer who is strongest among Dems against Cuomo, you will probably see a dem who has their eyes on running in 2024.
That would limit the options to New York politicos.
Maybe they think that Trump’s appeal to his base is his accent and manners?
Cuomo has gone “dark”. First of all, that is “RACIST” - sarc
Perhaps he turned into a “Black Hole” and disappeared. Again, this would be “RACIST and SEXIST”.
More likely, he put on his Black/Dark Fascist uniform and went back to Italy or to Nancy Pelosi’s palace in San Francisco.
His favorite musical group “Dark Star”.
Favorite song is “Black is Black”.
Favorite movie, “Men in Black” (his favorite movie about the rise of Mussolini in Italy.
Or, somewhere in a Mafia safehouse, Andrew “Gumba” Cuomo is hiding out.
Just heard on FNC that he’s made a public statement denying everything that he did, or that it was inappropriate, or non-concensual, or something. Yeah, sure. Whatever. Rep. Brenda Lawrence’s office is also involved. She plans on eating with the Michigan National Guard this week to see the food for herself. Sen. Gary Peters said he’ll also be looking into the claims following the 7 Action News story. Gotta take a nap.
WTF is happening to my keyboard?
