Democrats have rightly been demanding that former president Donald Trump be held accountable for the words and deeds that led to the death of five people in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. There’s another politician who ought to be held accountable for the deaths of far more Americans: New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
Cuomo, a Democrat, did not incite an insurrection, but his decision to send hospitalized covid-positive seniors back to their nursing homes and assisted-living facilities likely led to the deaths of thousands of people. More than 9,000 people who had tested positive for the coronavirus were sent back to these facilities under Cuomo’s orders. Given what was known even in the early days of the pandemic about covid-19’s transmissibility and the lethal threat it posed to the aged, this was a horrific decision. The state has said that more than 8,600 people died from the virus in nursing homes, many surely infected because of Cuomo’s order. New York Attorney General Letitia James said in a report last month that the true total is thousands higher. That alone should be grounds for his removal from office.
But it gets worse. The New York Post reported on Thursday that a top aide for the governor, Melissa DeRosa, said while speaking to a group of New York Democratic lawmakers that the Cuomo administration rebuffed earlier requests from the Justice Department and state legislature for updated figures for deaths in nursing homes because of fear of a potential federal investigation. If true, the Cuomo administration authorized a coverup of his activities to avoid potential political, and even legal, exposure.

We all know Cuomo completely fucked the nursing home situation which itself would be grounds for removal. The coverup on top of that displays a level of pre-meditation that is definitely criminal and he should absolutely be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. The guy valued his good press over the lives of thousands of his state's elderly population, unforgivable.

He absolutely should be held accountable for this, but if the number of lives is the thing at issue, Trump's mismanagement of the pandemic was infinitely worse and more costly than Cuomo's and you can expect a lot of Republicans to forget about that when pressing for Cuomo's removal for something they let Trump get away with for months. They haven't given a shit about the lives lost to this pandemic.

What mikediastavrone96 said, exactly.......... but what's interesting to me about it is how it's been covered, when it's happened and how these things will be covered going forward. The "left leaning/Democrat"mainstream press" - face it, Fox excepted, they are Left leaning, - has done a great job covering this in detail and that's an important thing because this is the first Democratic "scandal" since our larger administration change and if there's even a whiff of this being covered up it's pretty gross and will be pointed out as such. The coverage of this story has had some ace and detailed reporting - not merely advocating - from news sources normally at the service of the East Coast Democratic Party....at a certain point you need the populace to trust the media, maybe this is a start of that.

And In one media the CNN, works his own brother. How to be imparsial when one of your stars is the brother of the Governor. They ever were chosen as one of the sexier bros in People most sexiest man alive.- I don't think, that one guy would loose his job for his brother bad work, but he defended his brother in every opportunity, and I don't know if CNN for many months they don't investigate this, this is a scandal that affect CNN too. His brother should at least suspended, or a paid vacation to the Cayman Islands for a while.-

Remember when this guy told Dr. Fauci they were like "De Niro and Pacino" ............well maybe he's more like Dustin Hoffman. A former top aide to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has accused him of intimidation and sexual harassment, expanding on allegations she first made in December. In an essay posted to Medium on Wednesday, the former staffer accused the governor of going "out of his way" to touch her "lower back, arms and legs," and kissing her during a one-on-one meeting.
Lindsey Boylan, the former chief of staff at New York's state economic agency, claimed that the governor took an "uncomfortable" interest in her after she was appointed to the role in 2015. "My boss soon informed me that the Governor had a 'crush' on me," she wrote, saying she was told by the director of the governor's offices that Cuomo suggested she "look up images of Lisa Shields — his rumored former girlfriend — because 'we could be sisters' and I was 'the better looking sister.'www.cbsnews.com/news/lindsey-boylan-andrew-cuomo-sexual-harrassment-claims/

A similar thing happened here in the UK but the media in our country never holds the right people to account.

LOL liberals are every bit as hypocritical as conservatives. Cuomo should resign and be prosecuted. He's a monster. He fucked up handling covid just like Trump did.
