“Who cares [if they] died in the hospital, died in a nursing home? They died.”
That’s how Gov. Cuomo callously responded Friday to the damning state attorney general’s report that revealed his administration downplayed the total number of nursing home residents killed by COVID-19.
During his first remarks on the spiraling controversy, Cuomo said, “If you look at New York state, we have a lower percentage of deaths in nursing homes than other states.”
“A third of all deaths in this nation are from nursing homes,” he said.
“New York state, we’re only about 28 percent — only — but we’re below the national average in number of deaths in nursing homes.”
“But who cares — 33 [percent], 29 [percent] — died in the hospital, died in a nursing home? They died.”
Cuomo’s stunning remarks sparked a furious backlash, with Timothy Dunn tweeting: “My uncle died in a nursing home from COVID two weeks ago.”
“I care @NYGovCuomo,” added Dunn, whose website says he’s from upstate Malta and runs a consulting company.
State Sen. James Tedisco (R-Clifton Park) tweeted that Cuomo’s comments were “Pathetic!”
“How about the families who lost loved ones! We need to know where the contagion spread and if the Gov’s March exec order doomed many of them to suffer and die alone from COVID,” he added.
Well, now it’s out. It had to take an investigation from New York’s Attorney General Letitia James (who he endorsed to win) about his lethal edicts and internecine obfuscations and obstructions of the state’s nursing home fatalities data to finally come out with this callous take from Mario’s son Governor Cuomo. Fatalities which he also callously conflated with his own father’s demise, which happened by natural causes while he wasn’t in a nursing home, especially a nursing home that was given immunity from responsibility of the care of residents and patients.
But don’t be mistaken, Cuomo’s dismissive response about being accountable for his negligence is not out of character for a guy who once remarked when 71 people died from COVID19 back in May that because less people were dying of the contagion at the time that it was not that devastating because of the absurd reality we’re all living in.

So now that the pumpkin has gone, the NY Post and the Murdoch fascist propaganda machine have decided that Covid-19 isn't a fake virus after all, and its actually been Cuomo's fault all along.
Then again there was those times during the pumpkins reign, when the fascists decided that the virus was real, and was the creation of the Chinese govt.
Except for those other times, when they decided it was a fake virus used by the evil Democrats to hamper the pumpkins quest for world domination.
Except for those other times when the virus was real and the result of a bat eating person in Wuhan, who probably just wanted to be like Ozzy Osbourne.
Except for those other times when Trumpanzees (Just as a reminder, Trumpanzee = (Fascist - Brain) ) decided that the virus was just a mild bout of the sniffles. Except for those other times, when Trumpanzees decided it was real again, but could be cured by drinking a few gallons of Chlorox.
Who are you going to believe this, or CNN?
Oh wait...It's all Bidens fault!!!!
Good thing liberals are the compassionate ones, eh?
Next to Mussolini himself this stronzo deserves the Mussolini treatment.
Get the Moreland Commission re-activated!
I noticed a funny thing the other day. Remember all the pearl clutching and indignation by the press when Covid was being promulgated as the "China" or Chinese virus ?
Why then are the variants universally referred to as the UK, Brazilian or South African strains ? Who decides these things ? I need some guidance as to what I'm supposed to be selectively indignant about...
So what? Everyone in this state would still run out and re elect him if election day was tomorrow. We get the representation we deserve.
@BoredWithFascists Do you suffer from #TWS ?
Look for help from God, friends and family you need it !
Trump withdrawal symptom is real. Trump is censored everywhere so you and AOC can't n respond to him. Now both of you have to find a new enemy to go after on Twitter.
Yep! New Yorker's are programmed. Cuomo is Governor for life.
@Bored
Please spare us from your wisdom. You cannot fix stupid - this applies to you,
Socialism, Kill all these old people then take 60% or all their money in probate court.
Now you getting the idea :) Plus no social security, SNAP, Medicare, Medicaid.
Win-win situation.
"Useless eaters" said one of the globalist pigs.
No conscience, no empathy, no remorse.
These are textbook characteristics of a psychopath.
I’m in NY and most liberals are still walking around like a brainwashed battered wife proclaiming Cuomo’s greatness. I’m not kidding.
This time grandma didn't get ran over by a reindeer.
Here in Florida there are a whole lot of Grandmas whom Governor De Santis hasn't killed, and they're out on the golf course having fun.
Hey Bored try to watch some real stuff

Benito, isn't Rochester in NY State?
So this is how 9 year olds are being handled in NY State?
Seems the elderly, the young don't matter in NY State.
Well, well. Pepper spraying 9 year olds while in handcuffs takes the cake!
But hey George the porn star supposed demise created massive riots.
No mention the little girl who did nothing, but ask for her father, is of what color?
What a double standard, just tells the world everything was organized and executed.
