Scalise rips Biden DOJ for dropping probe of Cuomo ‘must admit’ nursing home order: ‘Unconscionable’
Steve Scalise blasted the Biden Justice Department’s decision to drop its investigation into Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s decision to order nursing homes to take in patients sickened with COVID-19 as the then-burgeoning pandemic was ravaging eldercare facilities in his state.
“It is outrageous that the Department of Justice refuses to investigate the deadly ‘must admit’ orders issued by governors in New York, Pennsylvania, and Michigan that resulted in the deaths of thousands of senior citizens,” the Louisiana Republican said Friday in a statement after the department informed House Republicans it was dropping its probe.
“Where is the justice for nursing home victims and their grieving families? These deadly orders contradicted the CDC’s guidance, and needlessly endangered the most vulnerable among us to the deadly COVID-19 virus,” Scalise noted further.
