Here in New York, Governor Andrew Cuomo is facing an investigation for not initially reporting close to half of the 15,000 coronavirus deaths at nursing homes and other long-term care facilities during the pandemic. On Monday, Cuomo acknowledged his role but stopped short of an apology.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo: “We should have provided more information faster. We were too focused on doing the job and addressing the crisis of the moment, and we did not do a good enough job in providing information. I take total responsibility for that.”

Republican state senators are calling for Governor Cuomo’s impeachment. They’re also demanding a special session to strip Cuomo of his emergency powers — a call that at least 14 Democratic state senators have joined.

Democrat Jessica Ramos tweeted, “People died and Cuomo lied. Then he had the gall to write a book.” It’s a reference to Cuomo’s best-seller “American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic” — which does not include information on how many New York nursing home residents died of coronavirus.
