Cuomo Warns NY Legislature Not to Threaten Him With Subpoenas Over Nursing Home COVID-19 Deaths
This man is a horrible person.
New York state legislators and other officials have demanded investigations into Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s coverup of COVID-19 deaths in nursing homes.
Cuomo warned them not to threaten him with subpoenas because, try not to laugh, it’s a crime. He also defended the policy.
Melissa DeRosa, Cuomo’s secretary, set off a firestorm last week when she “apologized to Democratic lawmakers for withholding the state’s nursing home death toll.”
DeRosa said the administration “froze” because they feared President Donald Trump’s DOJ would use the numbers “against” them.
Democrats immediately called for a “full investigation” and threats to rescind his emergency powers.
I reiterate my call for @NYGovCuomo and his administration to be subpoenaed for all pertinent information. We need answers and grieving families deserve justice. Enough with the spin. https://t.co/dvVLPA4F1R

Cuomo used his Monday press conference to play the victim and deflect blame.
Yes, the man who instilled a policy that led to old people dying in nursing homes chided those who want the truth.
“You can’t use a subpoena or the threat of investigation to leverage a person,” lectured Cuomo. “That’s a crime. It’s called abuse of power, it’s called extortion.”
Excuse me, sir.

Then Cuomo claimed visitors brought COVID-19 into the nursing homes, not the COVID-19 positive patients his administration forced into the homes.
Cuomo regurgitated the usual leftist talking points to distract from his failures.

So did this magical virus (it has to be magical since the way leftists talk about it, COVID-19 has critical thinking abilities) choose not to infect others if it came from an infected elderly person? The visitors and workers with COVID-19 only infected others?
Do these people have any idea how absurd they sound? That’s a rhetorical question.

He’s no worse than Gretchen Whitmer or Nancy Pelosi or Charles Schumer or William Barr.
For whatever reason, he’s run afoul of the democrat party and they’re disposing of him. While it couldn’t happen to a ‘nicer guy’, it’s nice that it is happening, but it is but a drop in the corrupt ocean that is our nation.
Clearing the deck for President Harris.
She will buy her own cigars.
….and Bill Clinton will help her “wet” them….
Possible.
She’s still a bad joke, and worthy of the insults heaped upon her.
Impeach her.
Did he run afoul or was he just a useful idiot who is no longer useful?
This reminds me of Soviet analysts trying to decode the internal political moves of the USSR as they happened.
Cuomo is fascist scum, and he is a mass-murderer. He fits right in with the old Soviet crowd, and the analysis of his downfall is should analyzed for the same reason we analyzed Soviet internal politics: so they couldn’t destroy us.
But but bit he got an Emmy for this didn’t help?
By the way Nazi Nan is putting together a committee to study the Jan 6 Insurrection
Lol
Nutty Nan isn’t just putting together a “committee to study the Jan 6 insurrection” she’s putting together a 9/11 style commission to study the Jan 6 insurrection. Sounds much grander that way instead of saying it’ll just be a committee stuffed with democrats that will spout the same old propaganda and misinformation that they’ve devised since Jan 6th to justify their failed impeachment “trial”.
This has to be personal for her. Trump must have called her a doozy of a name in the Oval Office.
Remember, that fraud Fauci said that Cuomo “has done everything right.”
Subpoena him too so he can explain why killing thousands is doing it right.
Got to admit though, being a total incompetent idiot can be profitable if you play it right.

Add reversing ticks.
No doubt. I accidentally up voted a truly terrible post Sunday morning and learned I couldn’t undo it.
And a trap-door button for every Congressman and Senator. Right into the shark-infested tank.
They they’d probably spit the likes of “8-Ball” Presley back out.
Janice Dean has been a strong critic of Cuomo while the media was praising him. Give back the Emmy.
He should keep the Emmy. The Emmy should forever be associated with this murderer.
Even Cuomo can’t off the entire legislature. Not in his wildest dreams.
I’ve read a ton of information stating that asymtomatic spread is illusory. Thes people are evil.
The asymtomatic spread was never illusory for Kamala Harris. Look where it got her!
What makes you think it was asymptomatic?
Willie Brown liked variety.
For the would-be whiners:
Willie Brown admits it: Kamala Harris slept her way to the top:
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/08/willie_brown_admits_it_kamala_harris_slept_her_way_to_the_top.html
You realise the article you quote goes into say Willie Brown helped other politicians in the same quote. It’s clearly an attempt to take out of context. Doesn’t really make a lot of sense.
What are you talking about. Asymptomatic means you still carry the virus and can spread it. We know this happens because of the blanket nature of testing, loads of people who have been asymptomatic have been tested and diagnosed with covid
But there is no evidence that they are contagious. The whole idea of asymptomatic spread was a theory, a hypothetical possibility. We now know that it doesn’t happen.
Ah, the Corleones.

END TRANSCRIPT
So now it’s a “crime” to investigate the causes of excess nursing home/elderly care facility deaths because that might implicate Gov. Andy “Killer” Cuomo and his minions in the NY Dept. of Health.
Well, good for him. Hope the NY legislature has the backbone to nail Andy to the wall by his balls for his insane statements.
Think about that. NY legislature having backbone? They’re about tied with jellyfish in that regard, but they find it when it comes to the leftist agenda.
If this investigation doesn’t fit with their leftist agenda, I don’t see it going too far. Or maybe they throw the one of pierced nipples overboard and promote someone even worse.
Yet ANOTHER thing that Barr sat on his fat ass and did absolutely nothing about.
But man, he was SO BUSY working on that report. You know, the one that was all done and JUST waiting until after the election to be released. You know, the one three and a half months ago.
Were I a New York legislator, my reply would be,”or what?”
Actually I wonder if many of them aren’t looking for an excuse to back down. They really are birds of a feather with this guy for the commie agenda. But their constituents will be mollified if they appear to try to go after Cuomo.
Cuomo is a member of the ruling class; justice for him is not the same as justice for we lesser folk.
To use a good New York word, he is a SCHMUCK extraordinaire.
I am no fan of my native state, but the people can’t get rid of that jerk fast enough.
It’s amusing that Mr. Cuomo thinks that he’s the only tough guy in New York politics.
Whereas the truth is, EVERY politician in New York thinks that he’s a tough guy. Take down a governor? Just give me the opportunity, buddy…
The members of the legislature better bring their dogs and horses indoors from now on, until Don Cuomo is run out of offices
Cuomo knows he has the NYC media on his side, the female NYC media types all have orgasms at the sound of his voice, and it is after all New Yawk.
“Governor Corleone” “Senator Corleone” from the movie
[“Don Corleone had all the judges and the politicians in New York, and he must share them. He must let us draw the water from the well. Certainly, he can present a bill for such services.”] also from the movie.
Nothing will happen to him. Democrats are filth.
Our gangster governor knows a thing or two about extortion.
I’m betting the legislature hasn’t got the guts to call him on this. He ought to be in jail.
On many other issues though the legislature loves him. He signs all their far left stuff.
de blasio smells blood in the water and turned on him to be the next governor. Too bad one side always wins and the other criminals continue to run the state.
Oh &*(^ I didn’t think of that, DeBlasio doesn’t just go away but becomes governor!? That’s even worse than what we have now.
If trump had tried to order such a warning or prohibition they would have had a real impeachable offense.
But he’s the Emmy-award winning ™️ Governator. That Emmy should cover at least ten subpoenas.
Cuomo warning others not to abuse power! How did I deserve to get on this incredible timeline?
