ALBANY, NY- The “bloom” is coming off the rose for New York’s Emmy Award winning governor Andrew Cuomo.
Cuomo, a darling of far-left media and held up as a success story by the ever wrong Dr. Anthony Fauci finds himself in a pickle after the New York Post obtained a recording of a video conference where a Cuomo aide, Melissa De Rosa admits the administration hid nursing home data to keep it from the feds.
Now, people are calling for accountability – and rightfully so.
The Post in its February 11 edition reported that DeRosa privately apologized to Democratic lawmakers in the Empire State for withholding the real death toll from nursing homes relative to COVID-19.
She told them the administration “froze” out of fear that the real numbers would “be used against us” by federal prosecutors.
DeRosa, secretary to Cuomo said the administration turned down a legislative request for the data back in August, saying that “right around the same time, [then-President Trump] turns this into a giant political football,” an audio recording of the two-hour-plus meeting revealed.
“He starts tweeting that we killed everyone in nursing homes,” DeRosa said. “He starts going after [New Jersey Gov. Phil] Murphy, starts going after [California Gov. Gavin] Newsom, starts going after [Michigan Gov.] Gretchen Whitmer.”
