New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is taking heat from New Yorkers, Democrats, Republicans, and former governors after he appeared to callously wave off the alarming number of nursing home deaths seen in his state during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Gov. Cuomo was responding to a report written by New York’s state attorney general, which alleged that the administration downplayed the number of deaths caused by the forced placement of elderly patients in nursing homes.
“We’re below the national average in number of deaths in nursing homes,” Cuomo said. “But who cares? Thirty-three? Twenty-eight died in a hospital — died in a nursing home. They died.”
The New York Democrat has been on the receiving end of criticism over his handling of the virus for some time now — despite his often glowing treatment from the mainstream media. The governor even penned a book where he essentially praises himself up and down over his response to the crisis. Now, this undeserved sense of accomplishment seems to be finally fading in the eyes of the public.
Joining in is one of Cuomo’s own predecessors — former New York Governor George Pataki, the last Republican to hold that office until 2006.
Pataki has referred to the incident as a “new low” for the current governor, who is waning in popularity even among Democratic voters.
The former governor predicts that Cuomo’s behavior as governor will have dire consequences for him as well as the Democratic Party in New York. He says that he will be challenged both from the right and from the left as the party’s ideological civil war continues to intensify.
New data suggests that New York’s government has underreported COVID-19-related nursing home deaths by the thousands. Along with California, the state is considered to be one of the biggest hotbeds for the pandemic — despite the fact that it has imposed some of the harshest economic and social restrictions to slow the spread of the disease.

Does this sound familiar – Ms Clinton “responds to the death of Americans in Benghazi, ‘What difference does it make?’”
Absolutely! They do not care.
Who cares if cuomo receives a bullet?
Who cares, Mr Cuomo well maybe the family and friends of those who died due to your stupidity and poor leadership.
What would you father say? What would the Italian Catholic in NY say? I do believe Cuomo is finished. I thank God that I no longer work in NYC.
Goodbye Cuomo and the fake Italian Di Blasio.
glad i don’t live in NY..would have to pool our $$ and hire some one to break a leg or two…
Cuomo know Satan after his soul! He guilty of killing elderly people. Just doesn’t realize he getting old everyday
Cuomo: “Who Cares”, sounds exactly like Hillary Clinton on the Bengazi deaths , when she said: “What does it Matter now” . I think it matters too all the people who had their “Loved One’s sent too their “Deaths” by these “Socialist Godless Rulers” ! It proves that they care for no one but “Themselves” !
FUCK CUOMO
Any death matters he’s just got the attitude like I am God and you are my disciples he’ll have to reckon with Jesus when he decides he’s going to die
Jail cuomo!
WILBUR, it wouldn’t cost you a dime Just ask for a few Volunteers. He certainly has PROVEN what a DIRT BAG HE IS. but he is like ALL the other homo sapiens in his party. I used to never vote a straight ticket. Now I have to say the same about the Republicans. I was very much involved during WW-2. In todays world all that is done is they CHEAT, STEAL, MURDER, RAPE, PILLAGE, COMMIT ARSON, BEAT UP OLD PEOPLE, BULLY, SHOOT COPS, HARASS PEOPLE WHILE EATING. AND MORE.HERE IS WHAT FLIPS ME. “BLM” has about a 10,000,000.00 dollar bank account. all they get is a SLAP ON THE WRIST why don’t the have to pay for all the damage and killing they committed Politicians, they ALL suck, especially their leader the QUEEN of death.
DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS CAN CARE LESS ABOUT OUR NATIONS PEOPLE THEY CLEARLY EMBRACE POWER & CONTROL.
The people have now seen this ‘FRAUD” unmasked , by himself publicly.
Como is a total dirt bag but they keep voting for him?
Cuomo is the dumbest mf I’ve ever heard of is he really a college graduate what school I can’t really believe it sounds like a garbage truck driver from queens
“Live and let die,” seems to be Cuomo’s mantra. Do New Yorkers really keep voting for this turkey and people like him? He’s causing New York to become just like many other cities run by Dems that used to be places one might want to visit, but have been turned into hell-holes! Now, New Yorkers with the means to do so are running scared and away from their state. If you voted for Cuomo, please do NOT come down to my state and mess it up.
We are starting to see New York tags in Florida
This jackass is just a symptom to a far greater problem. That problem is the fake, partisan media that refuses to proactively report the real facts. They are no longer the neutral watch dog for the country. They are dangerous activists that suppress real news in favor of promoting an ideology of leftist propaganda. They are the enablers of the incompetent dirt bags of our progressive political class. The more the media covers for them the more corrupt they become. They know there are the brain dead partisans out there who will believe their lies without question. They hide behind the privileges of the 4th estate . They have now advanced to total censorship of speech with weaponized threats and actions against anyone who dares to not bow to them. We now have a senile president who is nothing more than a tool for the cowardly puppet masters . What in the hell is it going to take for people to wise up and shut them down.
Just like black lives matter any death matters but what he did isn’t what the federal government told him to do I care even though he doesn’t care I care
Governor Cuomo is a BIG New York FAILURE! He’s a failure to the Seniors in the nursing homes, he’s a failure to the health care professionals in New York, and he’s a failure to the citizens of New York.
This egotistical Jerk should be tarred and feathered. He is a liar, and can’t take any responsibility for anything. It’s all Trumps fault. Yeah right. I hope the people that keep voting this idiot in are happy with what they got.
It’s hard to believe his denial and his attitude. The facts are there on what he did and the news media cover-up are truly evil. Stupid people in NY need to wake up now. These are facts and are not political.
If everyone is against cuomo’s who cares comment, (I am too) why do people keep voting in these lying democrats. WAKE UP PEOPLE ARE YOU CRAZY?
Cuomo doesn’t deserve his job, because the only person he cares about is himself.
He should be prosecuted for murder.
