New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Monday said “you’d have to be blind” to think calls to further calls to investigate the coronavirus deaths linked to state nursing homes amid the pandemic are “not political.”
Cuomo, during a press conference Monday, said he “wouldn’t do an investigation” into the nursing home deaths during the coronavirus pandemic in the state of New York.
“I wouldn’t do an investigation whether or not it’s political, everybody can make that decision for themselves,” Cuomo said. “I think you’d have to be blind to realize it’s not political.”

Trump should as the Dept of Just-Us to lloking to the demographics of those that died in nursing homes. I bet a greater than the population share were black. Since Dems are claiming Covid is a racist diseaes and Cuomo ordered the murder of more balcks than normal in nursing homes, Dems and the media are protecting him. If Trump can claim racism and get the Dept of Just-Us to investigate, Cuomo will be sweating off a lot of weight. Imagine a Federal racism case against NY state and Cumomo. Wonder if the NY AG will have time to harass Trump then?

Rejecting an independent investigation is 100% political.

Maybe not political but certainly criminal. Secret deals with nursing home administrators, money paid to them for each patient they took in, pay to play graft, hold harmless from prosecutions. These aren’t the corrupt politicians you are looking, for nothing here, move along.

Why do we need an investigation? All that will do is give Cuomo a reason to kvetch.
The guy killed people.

Is the whole New York legislature going to let this slide? I pity those in New York is they do, because you're not worth a darn thing to any of them.

You're a politician. Stuff is political. Just ask Donald Trump. Then stand up like a man and defend your actions.

You have to understand NYS. It is a cesspool of Democratic rule. Here is a little example. A local small business upstate likes to post Republican candidate signs on his property. The Board of Health was sent in to inspect the property, which sold ice cream products. They found a leaking sprayer hose, like the type many folks have on their sinks. The eventual fine was $50K, reduced to $10K, for a leaking hose that affects NOTHING. You can guess the party in office there. TYRANNICAL. This is not a story, it is a fact.

Time for the Feds to get involved. One of the biggest coverups in history. Cuomo sent those seniors to the death chamber.

What's new? The guilty don't want to go on trial either. Cuomo will be happy to appoint his brother at CNN to do an extensive review of the Gov's policies.
I can read the report to you already: "Trump is a racist. Trump is a crook. Trump is why all those old people died." End of report. Please send $4 million of state money for this exhaustive report to my bank in Switzerland.

What made it political was the fact that Cuomo didn't have to send them back to the care facilities. President Trump and Franklin Graham had furnished an entire hospital ship, the Javits Center temporary hospital, the Samaritan's Purse hospital facilities, and unlimited support for PPE and ventilators. It was Cuomo's ego that made him ignore the generous help he had gotten from outside conservative agencies and instead return the COVID positive high risk seniors back to uncontrolled and overworked care homes against all common sense.
This is what needs to be investigated. In the old days the free press would publish and "expose" that would trigger a public outcry for answers. When leftist politicians have the press "on their payroll" they are like Don Corleone in the Godfather.

sorry, #17, but the Samaritan's Purse facility was contaminated by Jesus Christ. Putting Jews and Muslims and others into that facility would have been unacceptable.
(I am not being sarcastic. I am speculating about the reasoning in NYS government. And I could see Pa Governor Wolf, and his Public Health Commissioner, Dr. Rachel Levine, applying the same twisted logic.)

I have found this is one, consistent way to shut down the “Trump has killed people” talking point. I always retort, “No, that was Governor Cuomo.” There is no defense of that.

What are you scared of, Andy? Are you paranoid that someone might lie? What about what's happened to President Trump every day for the last 4 years? Andy, you fear an impartial investigation because it would reveal what a nincompoop you are, and how you were directly responsible for the deaths of thousands. You killed someone's Mom, Andy.
