Cuomo Stripped of Emmy Due to Harassment and Resignation, but Not Nursing Home Deaths
Cuomo won the award for his supposed great work during the pandemic. At least mention his nursing home death scandal.
The International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences gave former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo the International Emmy Founders Award for his daily COVID-19 press briefings during the pandemic.
The organization took it away on Tuesday “in light of the New York Attorney General’s report, and Andrew Cuomo’s subsequent resignation as Governor, it is rescinding his special 2020 International Emmy Award. His name and any reference to his receiving the award will be eliminated from International Academy materials going forward.”
Not a single word about the fact that Cuomo’s March 25, 2020, directive forced nursing homes to take in infected elderly patients.
The New York State Bar Association concluded Cuomo’s policy “did lead to more deaths.” Stacey quoted the report:
Although a determination of the number of additional nursing home deaths is beyond the capacity of the Task Force, there are credible reviews that suggest that the directive, for the approximately six weeks that it was in effect, did lead to some number of additional deaths. The Department of Health issued a report in 2020 in which it argued unconvincingly that the admission of 6,326 COVID-positive residents during the period the Health directive was in effect had no impact. That cannot be the case, and has now been shown not to be the case.222 As we have seen, once the virus came into a nursing home, it was hard to control.
I’m not saying the sexual harassment accusations and investigations are not important. The fact is he won the Emmy for his supposed excellent work during the pandemic.
Cuomo should have never received the Emmy. He should have lost it in June when the report confirmed his policy led to more deaths.
But since the organization took it away now they should have mentioned the nursing home deaths caused by Cuomo’s policy. I’m sick to my stomach that no one acknowledges those lost because of the policy. It breaks your heart more knowing they died alone.
Cuomo should have resigned because of his nursing home death scandal and the sexual harassment allegations.

But we will not forget.
And some of us will never tune in to anything Emmy related, and will avoid spending as much as a quarter in anything Emmy related.
Right. Makes perfect sense. The award he was given for his great handling of the covid crisis is not in any way affected by his execrable handling of the covid situation.
That would be too much like doing the right thing.
Maybe he can garner an Oscar for best whore’n film.
I hear harassment very little to him.
Emmy – you’re dead to me now.
I don’t admire patronize organizations that aware mass murders.
Life is cheap to leftists
Emmys are not.
The karmic irony of the man from planned parent/hood becoming a “burden”.
Her name was Fran..
He should get to keep his Emmy for best supporting actor to Biden for their one act drama:
Biden: I call for the resignation of Gov Cuomo. (BTW, I’m gonna need you to pardon Chesa Boudin’s father and the rest of his murdering compatriots on your way out. And leave the dog, he knows too much.)
Cuomo: O.K.
Applause, curtain closes on any further criminal inquiries………….
Hollywood will never acknowledge his nursing home deaths until The Party itself acknowledges them, then suddenly they will be all “#MeToo” over it.
One of the few cultural contributions of the “Hunger Games” series was its on-target representation of the whorish personalities who rise to the top in celebrity and media.
Wow that didn’t age well. Ben and Rosie will swear they didn’t know Cuomo was such a lousy person and governor but the left eats their young. It’s just a matter of time before they are canceled too.
