“Who cares [if they] died in the hospital, died in a nursing home? They died,” he said at a January press conference.

Nursing home administrator was ‘petrified’ by Cuomo’s order to take in COVID-19 patients

Nursing home executives were “petrified” by Gov. Cuomo’s order a year ago to send elderly patients into long-term care facilities instead of hospitals during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a new interview.

Michael Kraus, a nursing home administrator on Staten Island, said his concerns were “shot down” by state officials.

“Many facilities vocalized it,” Kraus said in a Fox News interview set to air in full on Thursday. “They were petrified, but they were more petrified of the Department of Health … once it [my concern] was shot down, I never spoke [about it] again.”

The Cuomo administration is facing a federal investigation for botching the response to the health crisis in nursing homes — and then covering up the true death toll.

Last month, the state Department of Health admitted that more than 15,000 nursing home and long-term care residents died of COVID-10 in the state — nearly twice the roughly 8,700 deaths state officials initially claimed.

Last month, The Post exclusively reported that one of Cuomo’s top aides, Melissa DeRosa, told Democratic leaders in a video conference call that “we froze” out of fear that the true numbers would “be used against us” by federal prosecutors.

Top Cuomo advisors also successfully pushed state officials to omit nursing home residents who died in hospitals from COVID-19 from the death toll — skewing the overall total.

The administrator told Fox News that he and executives at other facilities were “petrified” by Cuomo’s infamous March 2020 order that COVID-positive patients be placed in long-term care facilities rather than hospitals.

American Thinker normally does not reprint previously published material, but this morning, we are making an exception, owing to the level of interest in Kamala Harris and her political career, which began, as Howie Carr quipped, "working under Willie Brown."

The item below was originally published January 27, 2019.

Willie Brown admits it: Kamala Harris slept her way to the top

Kamala Harris, that vaunted self-righteous feminist candidate who's using her 'year of the woman' chops to challenge President Trump in 2020, has a little problem: She slept her way to the top.

You know, the mistress thing, not exactly moving on up based on hard work or merit, that little advantage of good looks (President Obama called her the 'best-looking' state attorney general), employed to their optimal practical use. Her political patron, former lawyer to pimps, Mayor of San Francisco, and State Assembly Speaker Willie Brown, admitted he helped her get her political start, writing in his bloggy San Francisco Chronicle column:

Yes, we dated. It was more than 20 years ago. Yes, I may have influenced her career by appointing her to two state commissions when I was Assembly speaker.

And I certainly helped with her first race for district attorney in San Francisco. I have also helped the careers of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Gov. Gavin Newsom, Sen. Dianne Feinstein and a host of other politicians.

WATCH — DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas: ‘Extraordinarily Disrespectful’ to Ask Me About Illegal Alien Crime Victims

CAMMACK: I’m from a small town out West, and the month before I was supposed to graduate high school, which was 2006, one of my classmates was kidnapped by an illegal who had been deported multiple times. And I think when you have policies that incentivize folks to come over illegally, and we don’t have the proper mechanisms in place to protect our borders … that kind of impact has resounding effects. So my question to you, her name was Amber Scott — the young lady who was kidnapped by this illegal criminal — how many more Ambers have to be kidnapped across America before you will take action?

MAYORKAS: Congresswoman, I find that question to be extraordinarily disrespectful. Disrespectful not only to me, but disrespectful to the men and women of Homeland Security and to all the frontline personnel throughout this country who dedicate themselves to the safety and security of the American people.

CAMMACK: I’m sorry that you feel that way. … I’m sure the American people feel very disrespected about the border situation we’re facing right now [Emphasis added].

Federal data from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement (VOICE) reveals that in 2020, the office had received about 700 calls from Americans and their surviving family members, known as Angel Families, who were victims of illegal alien crimes.

Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) has long estimated that about 2,000 Americans are killed by illegal aliens every year.

In October 2020, President Trump issued a presidential proclamation that makes November 1 of every year the “National Day of Remembrance for Americans Killed by Illegal Aliens.”

Sorry Angel Families. This administration is happy that American's are being killed by illegal aliens. Don't ask them about it.
