New Cuomo Scandal Surfaces: How Is He Still In Office?

New York clearly needs some new management. Governor Cuomo has proven to be lacking in numerous areas. He clearly should not be left alone with any women and during this pandemic, his decisions to house covid positive in with the elderly was practically sentencing them to death. But now on top of his other poor decisions, it has come out that he was hoarding tests for his friends and family. Tests that were supposed to go to nursing homes. Does he just hate the elderly or what?

The Cuomo administration largely ignored a county official’s pleas for COVID-19 tests for nursing homes at the pandemic’s height last spring — even as the governor allegedly secured the then-scarce tests for his relatives, The Post has learned.

The slight is the latest stumble in Cuomo’s pandemic response, particularly with respect to nursing homes, where thousands of residents have died of confirmed or suspected cases of the coronavirus.

Troubled by reports of COVID-19 running roughshod through nursing homes early in the pandemic, Jack Wheeler, the manager of upstate Steuben County, requested in April 2020 that the state Department of Health provide enough tests for every resident and staff member of three facilities in his jurisdiction.

The DOH, however, only came through with enough supplies for one of the three facilities, Hornell Gardens, with the precious diagnostic tests then hard to find, Wheeler told The Post.

That lackluster response came, as The Albany Times-Union reported last week, as Gov. Andrew Cuomo allegedly pulled strings to secure tests for bigwigs connected to his administration, as well as relatives including his brother, CNN host Chris Cuomo, and their elderly mother, Matilda.

“I’m furious because testing of the most vulnerable population should be the absolute priority and a simple request,” Wheeler told The Post. “But [that] high-level, connected people had that luxury when we couldn’t even get people in the nursing homes tested is just infuriating.”

It looks like Cuomo has repeatedly assaulted women and has caused the deaths of numerous elderly. Why is he still in Office? Is this what New Yorkers want? Or is it just because he is a Liberal that he gets a pass? If Cuomo had been a conservative they would have been rioting in the streets demanding his removal.
