Democratic Convention: Andrew Cuomo’s Coronavirus Revisionism Shameless | National Review
It s important to keep reminding Americans that there is no leader in the United States or anywhere in the free world, for that matter who did a worse job preserving life than the governor of New York. Cuomo was late to enact preventative measure and also downplayed the virus, just like the president he criticizes. I can t think of a single instance in American political history when exhibiting this level of deadly incompetence has been given a pass. The illness, not the metaphor, killed 35,000 New Yorkers. It was Cuomo s personal mistake, an executive order forcing nursing homes in his state to accept patients who tested positive for the coronavirus in March, that sent thousands to their deaths. The Associated Press puts the real number of nursing home deaths close to 11,000 more than the total fatality count in any state other than New Jersey.
