Mayoral hopeful Andrew Cuomo bailed on a planned visit Friday to a Queens senior center as dozens of raging protesters were expected to confront the ex-gov over his botched handling of the nursing homes during the pandemic.
About 25 protesters marched in front of Peter Cardella Senior Citizens Center in Ridgewood for over an hour as they eagerly waited to face Cuomo over his administration’s controversial directive to send infected COVID-19 patients into nursing homes — which resulted in thousands of deaths.
“I’m still trying to process and come to terms with how to prevent that [a pandemic] from happening again, but I’m pretty dismayed that Andrew Cuomo has the gall to run for mayor,” said Dr. Damien Archbold, an anesthesiologist at Elmhurst Hospital, told The Post.
“I have this moral indignation that Cuomo’s running for mayor of New York City after he sold out the city.”

NYC deserves him.
He still hasn’t answered where 59 BILLION disappeared to when he was HUD head.
Didn’t his lesbo wife steal some money also?
This was a corrupt, completely despicable thing intended to kill off people you didn’t want.
Cuomo ought to be tried for thousands of counts of involuntary manslaughter. Even that early in the pandemic, he should have known the dangers, based on the nursing home deaths in the Pacific Northwest.
The hospitals were big contributors to the Cuomo campaign funds. Hospitals don’t like to care for elderly people - they require more care and attention than younger folks and Medicare doesn’t pay as much as private plans.
So as soon as the hospital ascertains you’re on Medicare, they try to arrange to have you discharged as soon as possible - that is, if they admit you at all.
Cuomo had his health administrator make a rule that nursing homes were obligated to accept people who a hospital had discharged, without the nursing home even doing a test for Covid. The nursing homes were unprepared and didn’t have the facilities to care for people with Covid.
What an SOB.
Notice it is Democrat states with the highest casualties. Almost they wanted to run up the numbers on purpose
He was attacking other democrats recently and some on this site seemed to be supporting him.
I have not forgotten his horrifying turn as governor...
Medicare isn’t any better. When my wife was in the hospital, medicare kicked her out to a after care center after 2 weeks. Then they tried to kick her out of that ever week for the next 3 months. I literally had to appeal every damn week.
All this time, Joe Biden was letting in millions of illegals and giving them free stuff and my wife who paid taxes for 50 years had to beg for care.
Its one of the reasons she finally decided to give up and go home to die in hospice.
I’ve been saying I don’t think Cuomo’s gonna win in his latest run and nothing’s changed for me. I think this clown is done.
RIP to your wife. I am so sorry
Think so.
Vague memory says something like that.
Il scivoch will never be the mayor of New York City. People in New York know this POS killed their parents and grandparents to get death figures that will get him more and more money from the federal government for COVID response. Coo mo is dead meat in Staten Island where the votes are this time.
COWARD!
I hope he gets slaughtered in the election.

You're thinking of Bill de Blasio.
Cuomo smelled an opportunity for a [temporary] “final solution” to Medicaid/elder care costs.
