Cuomo brothers decide to make jokes as 1000's of elderly died of COVID (CNN, deaths)

[WannaliveinGreenville]

The Associated Press (AP) chronicled how New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (D) and other state officials pathetically insisted the decision was “was not to blame for one of the nation’s highest nursing home death tolls.” (They decided to put COVID patients from the hospital into Nursing Homes... which killed many of the elderly after they got COVID from the transferred patients).

But a thorough search of CNN on-air transcripts shows that CNN completely ignored the blockbuster AP report on-air Monday and Tuesday. No coverage whatsoever. CNN’s website had no digital coverage either.

The AP story reported how “The directive was intended to help free up hospital beds for the sickest patients as cases surged. But several relatives, patient advocates and nursing administrators who spoke to the AP at the time blamed the policy for helping to spread the virus among the state’s most fragile residents.

A blatant dodge of the question. How does his brother, a hard-nosed journalist, respond?

“I’m wowed by what you did and more importantly, I’m wowed by how you did it. Obviously, I love you as a brother. Obviously, I think you’re the best politician in the country.”

After the pesky subject of the deaths of thousands of New Yorkers because of the governor’s policies was shoved out of the way, the Brothers Cuomo went for shtick.

“Is it true that this was the swab that the nurse was actually using on you [for the virus test]?” the CNN host asked his brother, while holding a large cotton swab. The anchorman then quickly followed by presenting the governor with an even larger swab, asking if that was the one the nurse used on him. Making a joke out of the pain many elderly deaths which they caused by making the decision to move COVID patients into Nursing Homes where the fragile elderly caught the disease and died.
