Cuomo: C’mon, we don’t need an independent review of my handling of COVID and nursing homes
August 10, 2020
Cuomo, during a press conference Monday, said he “wouldn’t do an investigation” into the nursing home deaths during the coronavirus pandemic in the state of New York.
“I wouldn’t do an investigation whether or not it’s political, everybody can make that decision for themselves,” Cuomo said. “I think you’d have to be blind to realize it’s not political.”
He went on to say, “Just look at where it comes from and look at the sources and look at their political affiliations and look at who wrote the letter in Congress and look at what publications raise it and what media outward networks raise it.”
He added: “It’s kind of incredible.”
So who’s calling for a probe into Cuomo’s actions? That bastion of Empire State conservatism, the New York Daily News, which notes that the state might still be undercounting COVID-19 deaths in nursing homes. They also insist that it’s not just Republicans demanding some answers from the Cuomo administration:
