Was it worth it, Gov. Andrew Cuomo? Your COVID-19 nursing home order and hiding the real numbers are breaking down your walls.
Cuomo ranted and raved during his Friday press conference. Then the NY Assembly GOP prepared the impeachment process, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) supports an investigation, and an assemblywoman shared messages she received from people who claimed Cuomo bullied them.
Impeachment
The Assembly Republican Conference plans to introduce a bill to form a bipartisan impeachment commission. The lawmakers will examine “the state’s method of administration and conduct in all matters relating to nursing homes and long-term care facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic.”
The commission has 60-days to gather information and present its case on impeachment.
New York Assembly Minority Leader Will Barclay (R-Oswego) told Fox News:
“I don’t know how close we are to impeachment, but, what we are calling for is an impeachment commission, a bipartisan commission made up of eight members – four Republicans, four Democrats – to investigate if there were any crimes committed by the governor with his cover-up of the nursing home deaths in New York State,” Assemblyman Will Barclay told “The Faulkner Focus” on Friday.
Barclay said the bipartisan impeachment commission would have “60 days to investigate and then give the report to the state legislature.”
“And if there’s something there, the assembly can move for articles of impeachment. All you need is a majority vote to do that. And then it would go to the Senate or a trial where they would need a two-thirds vote,” Barclay said.
AOC Supports Investigation
New York lawmakers have been demanding an investigation into the nursing home deaths.
On Wednesday, reports came out of the FBI, and the U.S. attorney in Brooklyn already has an investigation going into Cuomo’s administration.
AOC joined the crowd on Friday:
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez joined a chorus of New York lawmakers demanding an investigation into Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s handling of nursing homes during the coronavirus pandemic.
The New York Democrat said in a statement: “I support our state’s return to co-equal governance and stand with our local officials calling for a full investigation of the Cuomo administration’s handling of nursing homes during COVID-19. Thousands of vulnerable New Yorkers lost their lives in nursing homes throughout the pandemic. Their loved ones and the public deserve answers and transparency from their elected leadership, and the Secretary to the Governor’s remarks warrant a full investigation.”
Welcome to the party, pal. But better late than never. Granted, when blood is in the water, politicians are eager to snack on the weak.
But still. I’m glad that people are finally waking up.
People Sharing Cuomo Stories
Assemblyman Ron Kim told The New York Post this week about Cuomo calling him last weekend and going full-on mob mode. Cuomo threatened to ruin and destroy Kim.
NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio calls it “classic Andrew Cuomo.”
Then Cuomo trashed NYC:
Mark, on something else. Did you hear what Cuomo said today on NYC? It is so disgusting. I liked and defended him during the pandemic even on the nursing home issues. Now he smears NYC with all vendetta probably b/c what @NYCMayor said about his bullying. I am disgusted by Cuomo. pic.twitter.com/xdTjWUeett

Democratic Assemblywoman Yuh-Line Niou tweeted that people have filled her texts, DMs, and email with their stories of Cuomo bullying them.
This story….I actually can’t even describe.
Jeff, I’m so sorry…this must have been traumatic and really scary… thank you for sharing…the bits of humor you tried to inject made my heart hurt. https://t.co/NQk26pZLPD

Cuomo screamed at Rep. Tom Reed (R-NY) in 2017:
“I’ve never seen something like it,” Reed (R-N.Y.) said in an interview. “I’ve heard about the wrath and his anger, and that was the one time where I received it personally.”
It was 2017 and Republicans in Congress were pushing through a tax overhaul with significant implications for New York. The Democratic governor was incensed about the bill — particularly its cap on the federal deduction for state and local taxes, a provision that remains a perpetual target of Cuomo’s ire — and was lobbying hard for the congressional delegation to oppose it.
Reed, who backed the legislation, said Cuomo’s anger seared itself in his memory for how over the top it was, tattering their professional relationship since.
“That leadership gets old,” he said. “I think people — New Yorkers — get sick of it.”

Comments
Couldn’t happen to a more deserving pompous jerk. Even if, according to Fauci, his performance as Governor in the pandemic “set the gold standard”. But then Fauci’s opinion and three bucks will get you a short black coffee at Starbucks.
Come to think of it, Fauci enabled Cuomo’s actions with these statements. He should be under investigation.
And if there were justice, under Manafort-style investigation with a platoon of SWAT swarming his house in the early morning while some reporter with a hunch gets to show the pictures to the world.
Impeachment followed by XXX counts of manslaughter and other criminal counts.
I’m lovin it.
It’s a good thing the impeaching commission will be BI-partisan.
If it were NON-partisan, they might be forced to include a non-Swampie on it.
This isn’t an isolated putch. Harris is next. Pelosi is going to try and become unelected president (not that biden and harris were elected).
On another note: PDJT has GOT to lose weight! He’s gotten very fat – it’s belly fat, which is dangerous:

For all who don’t know: Pelosi, as Speaker of the House of Rats, is third in the line of sucession.
Not a chance. The Dems in power want somebody they can control, and who looks vaguely sane on TV. Nancy’s zero for two there, and working her way into negative numbers.
Wait till you see that blithering idiot harris on tv.
She’s just a placeholder.
For those that don’t know: There is no way in hell that the democrat party can remove Harris from the office of Vice President. She is second in the line to the presidency before Pelosi and that will never change. And to be honest I cannot see Speaker Pelosi actually wanting the job of President. She’d have to give up all her perks, privileges, and power she’s garnered over the years as Speaker of the House. That’s something Pelosi would never do. Her ego wouldn’t allow her to do it.
Just like all “TheFineReport.com”‘s
Just like the “TheFineReport.com’s rantings about secession from the union this is also a non-starter and isn’t going to happen. Pelosi will never be president. Un-elected or elected.
Lucifer,
You underestimate the psychopathy of these people. And you underestimate their careful planning.
They’re drunk with power. Just look at cuomo, whitmer, newsom, di blaso, garcetti, etc. And then there is Susan Rice, the de facto president. Pelosi is 80. She’d literally kill get the powrler of the presidency.
Harris is a scandal-plagued, sleazy goofball. She has more sleazy real estate ‘deals’ than valerie jarrett and hillary clinton. She’s as inarticulate as obama off the teleprompter. She was the first to drop out of the primaries (because she was that bad). She was picked as a disposable placeholder.
She won’t last 2 months as president.
Hate to break it to you but Kamala Harris isn’t elected either Joe Biden is and you have no proof that Biden isn’t going to be president through 2024 or that he won’t be running for re-election.
Other than Biden’s obvious dementia, no proof at all.
We all know that Biden is missing half or more of his marbles, and that he was not endowed with very may marbles in the first place.
There is a part of me that would rather see Polesi in the hot seat instead of Kamaltoe Harris ??
Precedent now states that we impeach Cuomo without witnesses, testimony, investigation, or any of that stuff, right?
Oh, I forgot. (D) That means a few days of investigation, a released report that says he didn’t do anything wrong, a few staffers kicked under the bus, and a new scandal for the media to chase immediately afterward.
We all know the investigation is the coverup.
Check out this brilliant, perceptive, insightful take on Cuomo’s rather sudden fall from political rock stardom:

The Republican interest isn’t new or evolved and would seem obvious enough, which is plain and good. Seen through the above lens, however, The Dem-geared players’ and stakeholders’ motivation, more notably the press’ and the far-left’s and now post-PDJT, is anything but facile — fascinating, rather; rich and highly explanatory, in my opinion.
Why, the Obama-Biden-intended “fundamental transformation of America,” envisioned by the neo-Marxists decades and decades back as a goal of the long march through American culture, and pledged publicly after the 2008 election, might actually be more insidious and closer than ever.
The link is just a load of supposition. It basically says along the line of “it doesn’t matter that new information forced people to reappraise Cuomo it was there plan all along” without the slightest bit of evidence.
In other words, it makes sense.
No in other words it’s a baseless conclusion like everything is you tend to say. You seem to have a tendency to have a conclusion then cherry pick whatever suits you to reach that conclusion even to the point where evidence of people doing the opposite still means you reach the same fucking conclusion. In other words you are an idiot.
New York Democrat Party seems to have genuinely turned on Cuomo over his killing their grandparents.
Good for them, loyalty to citizens and family comes before party loyalty. I hope none of us ever have to face that test, but unless they suddenly get cold feet and backtrack it looks like a lot of New York Democrats are passing.
We are still opponents but not killing grandma and grandpa should be truly bipartisan.
Many Trump supporters already have and decided it didn’t matter
Danny,
It has nothing to do with the deaths of anyone. The plan is to replace cuomo with a leftist lunatic like leticianjames, di blasio, etc. It’s just an opportunity.
The mass-murder was just an excuse. Godless leftists and mass-murder have always had a close association.
Whitmer and Newson should be nervous.
STOP GIVING AOC ANY AND ALL PRESS
You are as bad as anyone, elevating that stupid communist
Agree. There’s nothing interesting about Sandy Smollet.
Maybe he’ll win another Emmy for his televised trial!
Every fucking Democrat media hack that not only supported but propped this guy up through 2020 while his decisions killed the most vulnerable need to also be held accountable for their role in directly enabling this c8nts murder spree!
I kid you not, had the media cared more about the truth than their fucking OMB obsession then tens of thousands of elderly New Yorkers would still be alive today.
But no, all that mattered to these single celled geniuses was opposing EVERYTHING Trump said and Cuomo was up there sticking it to OMB like a serial killer.
The Democrat media hacks were incapable of telling the truth because the truth was that Trump cared about Americans while Democrats only cared about taking power.
