Governor Cuomo today tripled down on the lies and deception regarding his administration’s coverup of nursing home deaths. Instead of apologizing and taking one iota of responsibility, he politically attacked the press, lawmakers, nursing home staff, and blamed just about everyone but the man in the mirror for his deadly decisions.
His unhinged rant should make one thing absolutely clear -- Governor Cuomo will continue to abuse his power until we as a Legislature stand up to him. We must remove his emergency powers, we must provide extensive oversight, and we must stand together to demand he and his administration be investigated and held accountable by state and federal authorities. We will not be intimidated by this Governor. Enough is enough. New Yorkers are demanding justice.
