New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) on Monday denied his office was at fault for the coronavirus deaths of more than 6,000 nursing home residents in the state, calling such accusations a "political charade."
Cuomo defended his office's response to the pandemic during an interview with MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle.
“Yes, we had more people die in nursing homes than anywhere else, because we had more people die, because the federal government missed the boat and never told us this virus was coming from Europe and not from China,” Cuomo said. “And January, February, March, before they did the European travel ban, 3 million people came from Europe and brought the virus to New York and the federal government didn't know and the federal government and the CDC and all of them failed to handle this pandemic and warn this nation.”
“So, New York had more cases, more deaths, and more deaths in nursing home because that's who the virus affects. It affects senior citizens, we know that. You look at any state and they had a tremendous number of deaths in nursing homes,” he added. “It's all a political charade, and it's an ugly one frankly, to talk about a number of deaths and suggest there was politics added.”

He’s projecting, like all liberals.
The “charade” is his entire administration, and that of his pal De Blasio.
Nobody is blaming your office, you creep, they’re blaming YOU!
How about reality?
Your office is not to blame, Einstein. You are.
It was really Trump, in the library with a candlestick.
So a liberal is angry a travel ban wasn’t instituted soon enough? I thought liberals oppose travel bans????
He thinks it came from Europe and nobody in the media even questions this incorrect and untruthful assertion... It came from China... Period!
How about all those dead folks?? Would they call their death a “charade”???
Then why force Nursing Homes to accept COVID-19 patients when there were alternative resources made available through the federal government?
I think it was deliberate murder by Cuomo, in an effort to make Trump look bad.
moving KNOWN SICK COMMUNICABLE people into confined quarters with KNOWN VULNERABLE FRAIL ELDERLY folks...was nothing short of homocide
This is a Crime Against Humanity. The Governor cannot investigate himself or his office. We need either a Federal Independent or follow the Rome Statute for an International Criminal Court investigation. Nothing else will bring justice to those who died due to someone’s negligence.
Andrew “The EXCUSE” Cuomo. What an asshole.
Andrew YOU are responsible for how INADEQUATELY prepared the State of NY was when this Pandemic hit. YOU are responsible for the MASSIVE loss of Seniors in New York. COVID-19 was ripping thru ITALY (”Mr CUomo Italy is right there in EUROPE - munch on Raman Noodles.”).
YOY FAILED NY. YOU FAILED SENIORS. They Died. Now you Lie?
And NOW, for an encore, I, St. Andrew, am going to raise the 20,000 nursing home residents whom I killed from the dead.
Did “your office” take your mom out of her nursing home?
It all came from China you idiot just some of it came through Europe because those idiots, like you, refused to face up to the reality and held “take off their mask and hug a Chinese” events.
The dead seniors, I mean.
cuomo proves (as if more is needed) he is a typical liberal cretin in not accepting responsibility for his idiocy.
Ok Andy then riddle me this: were you “just following orders” or did you make a decision? Actually, either way, it’s still pretty shitty and their progeny known it. The deceased’s extended families know it as well. You enable murder but we already know that. You have long relished snuffing out the most innocent of human life.

Scalise has the govs dead to rights.
And the govs are refusing to comply with the doc requests and briefings.
