Nursing Home Families Urge NYC Voters to Reject Andrew Cuomo as Mayor Over COVID Deaths; Low-Ethics Cuomo’s Cover-Ups Harmed Us All — Voters Should Not Forget, and other C-Virus related stories
Nursing home families urge NYC voters to reject Andrew Cuomo as mayor over COVID deaths:
Leaders of an advocacy group for nursing home residents who blame ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo for the COVID-related deaths of thousands of relatives, urged New York City voters to reject his expected comeback bid for mayor.
“New York deserves better than Andrew Cuomo, and we’ll be there every step of the way as a reminder,” an open letter to the three-term Democrat drafted by the group Voices for Seniors said.
“We will not forget,” the letter, obtained by The Post, said. “Silence is not an option.”
Chief among the group’s grievances is the Cuomo administration’s controversial March 25, 2020 edict that directed nursing homes to admit recovering COVID-19 patients discharged from hospitals.
They also slammed Cuomo for undercounting reported deaths of nursing homes — while drafting a $5 million profit-making memoir on his and his administration’s handling of the pandemic.
“As you prepare to announce your comeback and run for Mayor of New York City, it is paramount that we remember what your former failed leadership left behind,” the 5,000-member group told Cuomo.
“Over 15,000 seniors dead in nursing homes—livelihoods shattered—families shattered—businesses shattered—communities shattered—dreams shattered—all because of your reckless, selfish, and heartless decisions that put your own agenda and ambitions above the lives of those you were supposed to protect,” the searing letter said. —>READ MORE HERE
Low-ethics Cuomo’s cover-ups harmed us all — voters should not forget:
How good are voters’ memories? The outcome of the New York City mayoral election may hinge on that question.
Disgraced former Gov. Andrew Cuomo got a boost Monday when a key New York Democrat, Bronx Rep. Ritchie Torres, called on Cuomo to join the race.
“The city is in crisis,” Torres said, adding that he isn’t interested in “relitigating” the circumstances that forced the fallen governor to resign in 2021 — even though Torres himself was among those who demanded that Cuomo step down.
At that time, Cuomo’s entire party had abandoned him as he faced an impeachment inquiry — something that had occurred only once before in the state’s 250-year history.
Less than four years later, most New Yorkers only remember the salacious accusations of sexual harassment that helped bring Cuomo down.
But he was accused of far worse: a string of self-serving decisions, cover-ups and outright lies that cost some New Yorkers their lives and put others at risk, all aimed at boosting his image and lining his pocket.
Yet last week, the Staten Island Democratic Party preemptively endorsed the ex-governor’s potential mayoral bid.
Cuomo “is the only proven leader with the track record of results and resolve,” said local chairman Laura LoBianco Sword.
Really? New York’s Democratic Party can offer moderate-voting Staten Islanders no one better than a defrocked governor still under an ethical cloud?
That’s a thin bench.
Torres may not want to relitigate, but Cuomo’s still in hot water over the conduct that led to his resignation.
A state attorney grievance panel continues to consider a complaint asking that Cuomo be disbarred or suspended from practicing law, Gothamist reported Wednesday. —>READ MORE HERE
