The ultimate cover-your-ass move. Thousands of seniors died as a result of his homicidal nursing home policy.
Cuomo says ‘nobody’ should be prosecuted over coronavirus deaths amid criticism over nursing home policy
By FOX News, May 18, 2020:
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said “nobody” should be prosecuted over coronavirus deaths, including nursing homes, saying older people were “always going to die from this virus.”
Story continues below advertisementCuomo has come under fire for his policy enacted March 25 forcing nursing homes to take in COVID-19 positive patients, which has only recently been reversed.
One reporter at an Albany press conference on Sunday asked the governor what he had to say to families who had lost loved ones in nursing homes to coronavirus. “They’re looking for accountability and they feel that they were failed, what’s the comment to that?”
Cuomo noted that 139 people had died in New York state from the virus on Saturday. “How do we get justice for those families? Who can we prosecute for those deaths? Nobody. Mother Nature, God, where did this virus come from? People are going to die by this virus, that is the truth.”

“Older people, vulnerable people, are going to die from this virus,” Cuomo added. “That is going to happen despite whatever you do, with all our progress as a society, we can’t keep everyone alive. Older people are more vulnerable. That is a fact that is not going to change.”
More than 4,800 people died from COVID-19 in nursing homes in New York from March 1 to May 1, according to a count by the governor’s office. Roughly 25 percent of all deaths in the state occurred in nursing homes.
The reporter pressed Cuomo about his nursing home policy again: “Some think that the mandates that are currently in place, if they were in place from the get-go, they feel that their loved ones might still be here.”
ELISE STEFANIK ASKS FEDS TO INVESTIGATE CUOMO’S ‘FAILED’ NURSING HOME POLICY
“People rationalize death in different ways. I don’t think there is any logical rationale to say they would be alive today,” the governor said. He added that no one in the state who needed one had gone without a hospital bed or a ventilator. “I increased the hospital capacity to an extent that we didn’t even need,” he said.
On May 10, Cuomo revealed a requirement for hospital patients to test negative for coronavirus before being discharged to nursing homes, effectively reversing his previous policy. He also announced a policy requiring all New York nursing homes and adult care facilities to test staff members for COVID-19 twice a week and report positive cases to the state.
Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., is demanding a federal probe into Cuomo’s policy.
“Today I joined my [New York GOP] colleagues in the House to call for a federal investigation of Cuomo’s failed nursing home policies,” Stefanik tweeted Friday. “NOW they admit they unethically changed the way they report nursing home deaths. An INEXCUSABLE tragedy for NY — NEED ANSWERS.”
New York City Republican Councilman Joe Borelli told “Fox & Friends” on Monday there are now bipartisan calls for an investigation into the rule.
“The truth of the matter is on March 25, the Cuomo administration made a decision in the form of a written policy that prevented nursing homes from rejecting patients that were testing positive for COVID-19 from coming back into the nursing home,” Borelli told “Fox & Friends First.”
Borelli added that though “leeway” should be given to elected officials who make difficult decisions in difficult circumstances, Cuomo made a “backward” decision, allowing infected people to be allowed near vulnerable and “close-knit” people.
“You don’t have to be an expert in epidemiology to realize that this was going to be a problem,” Borelli said.

Just a few months ago she switched! Musk is another idiot!
Ivanak is a typical, spoiled, empty headed, limousine liberal.
It’s too bad Don Jr. isn’t in the WH instead of Hillary surrogates, Jared and Ivanka.

“empty headed, limousine liberal” Well Ivanka has done a lot to stop pedophiles and human trafficking. Without Ivanka, I think Epstein would still be a free man.

LOL!
Epstein was murdered. Ivanka had nothing to do with the sham sentencing in Florida stopping Epstein. Trump knew about Epstein and had him barred from his properties. If Trump knew, so did Ivanaka. She didn’t care.

For all I know Epstein was part of her liberal circle of friends. The Clinton’s liked him. Even her friend Chesea visited Epstein’s orgy island. Gimmie a break! LOL! Ivanka is a snotty liberal bwitch. She looks down on people like you. Don’t fool yourself.
She not even attractive when you really look her over. Everything about her is fake!
She hangs out with LIBERAL TRASH. All I can say is thankfully Mooch, the Javanka choice for Trump’s communication director didn’t last long.
The Mooch isn’t the only Trump buddy to turn on him

She’s just a prop that serves no useful purpose. She’s an attention hog and tries to compete with Melania. You will not see her and Melania together on causes… Ivanaka has ISSUES….. She’s very insecure…and tries to ride Daddy’s coat tails because she is incapable of doing anything else. Her business was run by others and initial start up funded by DJT. Do some research on her.
She is a f-ing moron!

Well, I follow Ivanka’s work quite closely. So now we disagree on something. Agreement is nice, and easy. But disagreement is harder, and better. I learn much more from disagreements.

The problem is someone is right and someone is wrong. Sure we can agree to disagree but , I looked at her and Jared with an open mind. I follow BOTH of them very closely because I had high expectations for them.
They are both disasters in everything they touch. I strongly disagree with First Step – even SOROS wanted that! That was Jared’s pet peeve that Trump allowed. I strongly disagree with FEDERAL family leave – that was airhead Ivanka’s issue that even the GOP wouldn’t vote for so Trump had to EO it. Then there was the Paris Climate Agreement that Ivanka loved. Thank GOD Trump didn’t listen to her on that. She is a f-ing MORON! Be impressed with them. I am not.
Ivanka is worse than pathetic. I remember her softball interview with Sean Hannity about tax cuts. She struggled. She got out her stereotype low gravelly voice, straining her brain trying to come out with tax cut talking points that she hadn’t quite memorized. Liberals are never for that and that was why it was such a struggle for her. It’s foreign to her. She’s a liberal!
She’s nothing more than a mannequin complete without a brain and Trump can’t say no to her. Jared had an interview with I think it was with the Jerusalem Post. It was one of the Jewish papers. He openly admitted he wants her to be the first female President! LOL!!!!!!! He’s out of his mind. Both of them need to return to NYC and hand out with their globalist friends. They are disgusting.
She also managed to get Bannon out. She couldn’t get along with him. He was tyring to have Trump stick to his agenda while Javanka was pulling him to the LEFT. Bannon made the mistake of writing a book mentioning the truth, the Ivnaka is “dumber than a rock” and he is right! Even John Kelly commented on her and how difficult she was. He did restore some order there and managed to get her to restrain herself to some extent.
I’v seen her type before and they offer nothing useful if you are a conservative pushing a conservative agenda. She’s just a snotty, self absorbed, dumb, liberal bwitch propped up by her wealthy father. That is all she will ever be.

This is about the incompetency of Don Cuomo. How did Ivanka get into this. Oh, I forgot. That’s what you socialist/progressive/democrat/stronzae do. Change the subject when one of your heroes is being exposed for what they are. This man is a disgrace and should be removed from office. NO Bailout!

How come Governor DeSantis didn’t have the HIGH DEATH RATES for the elderly?
Yo, Cuomo, if it was your mother and a Republican Governor would you still say it doesn’t matter? Then again, he probably would. He was very proud of passing a law legalizing infanticide.

What do you expect from this stronzo! He had multiple temporary hospitals set up and a Navy ship and the testa de cazzo sends sick people back to the most vulnerable population, and now says it’s not his fault, is he that stupid? Or does he think the people are so brainwashed that they will believe him. The first known case was a nursing home, he knew that, everyone knows that. He has blood on his hands(le mani sporche de sangue) and everyone who had a loved one die because of his incompetence should sue him and he should be removed from office. NO BAILOUT either.
