quote:

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said in a press conference on Monday that he made a "mistake" in not providing information about nursing home deaths from COVID-19 in a timely fashion. But Cuomo continued to defend his and his administration's handling of the crisis, saying he would trust his top health adviser, Dr. Howard Zucker, with "my mother's care."

Cuomo has long faced criticism for his administration's handling of the release of data related to deaths from COVID-19 in nursing homes, which intensified last week when one of his top aides admitted that they were concerned the data was "going to be used against us."

In recent weeks, the state has been forced to acknowledge the nursing home resident death toll is nearly 15,000. The state had previously reported a death toll of 8,500 — a number that excluded residents who died after being taken to hospitals.

The only thing worse than how much all democrats lie, is how they always blame others.

This probably kills him.

Apologizing will only feed into the attack pieces.

His mistake was causing the deaths, not withholding the count.

His mistake was forcing nursing homes to accept covid patients and forbidding them from laying off staff with symptoms for quarantine. He did so with explicit threats of bringing the state bureaucracy down on them with a vengeance.

It was profoundly stupid.

The story first broke on the Mark Levin Show when a lady who owned a nursing home called in to say what was going on. Mark thought the notion so absurdly stupid that she must have been a crank caller. She wasn't.

I was gonna say a mistake is putting tomatoes in jambalaya, but even that is unforgivable.

Rumor is he’s coming out with a 2nd book detailing his fight against these charges. He’s gonna call it “My Struggle”. I can’t wait until it’s translated around the world.

No. The (D) after his name means his apology is sincere and accepted by the propagandists.

That’s nice. Now how many sons and daughters no longer have a mother directly due to his decisions? He’s a sick bastard.

100% kept them off the ship and Javits center to hurt Trump.

Same as the other governors from NJ, Mich, and Penn.

They sacrificed people for politics.

Who's the tyrant?

Is this the ramp up to apologizing for his actions that resulted in deaths?

This seems like a non-apology.
