Politicians are slippery. They hate to admit when they are wrong, especially on large scale like in the case of Governor Cuomo and how he killed countless elderly by introducing COVID positive patients to the nursing homes. He was recently asked if he would apologize for his part in their deaths and he instead decided to take responsibility for not disputing misinformation…
Cuomo’s response.
“Um, Apologize? Look, I have said repeatedly, we made a mistake in creating the void. We made a mistake in creating the void. When we didn’t provide information, it allowed press people, cynics, politicians to fill the void. When you don’t correct disinformation, you allow it to continue,” said Cuomo.
“We created the void, not because people were not working hard Mike, because you know how hard people were working. ‘Well, You should have prioritized providing more information.’ Yes. Yes. In retrospect we should have prioritized providing more information,” he added. “I get the operational demand, I don’t like to second guess my team. They were all working twenty-four hours a day. You know remember where this was, you were in the middle of hell during this time. But, No excuses. No excuses. We should not have created the void. We should have done a better job in providing information. We should have done a better job of knocking down the disinformation.”
“You can never knock down all these conspiracy theories, the political conspiracy theories because they generate ten a day. But we should have done a better job of providing as much information as we could as quickly as we could. We should have done a better job at that. Yes, no excuses. I accept responsibility for that. I am in charge. I take responsibility we should have provided more information faster, we were too focused on…”

Cuomo instead blamed nursing home staff for spreading COVID patients, instead of the positive COVID patients he had been placing in the homes.
“We have 613 nursing homes in the state — 365 received a person from the hospital. Of the 365 who received a person from this March 25 guidance, 98 percent of those 365 already had Covid in their facility. Covid did not get into the nursing homes by people coming from hospitals. Covid got into the hospitals by staff walking into the nursing home when they didn’t even know they had Covid.”
Good to see Liberal leaders taking responsibility for what really matters… Cuomo must know that if he were to actually apologize for the deaths of countless elderly it would be the end of his career. So instead he is talking about failing to fight against misinformation, yet he was given an award for his use of the media in spreading the news about COVID…
