Giant ‘Cuomo killed my mom’ sign erected on bridge as heartbroken New Yorkers grieve on Mother’s Day

The governor of NY is no hero. He’s an incompetent bumbling fool who can’t make good decisions and would have been totally lost and out of it were it not for our great President Trump bailing him out.

Furious New Yorkers to Democrat Governor Andrew Cuomo: You killed my mom. (Source: Twitter )
Many New Yorkers are ushering in a grim Mother’s Day amid accusations that Democrat Governor Andrew “Cuomo killed my mom” thanks to his deadly policy that forced nursing homes to admit coronavirus patients.
The bone-headed move resulted in the deaths of thousands of senior citizens living in nursing homes.
In March, Cuomo mandated that nursing homes must accept coronavirus patients even though older people are the most at-risk to die from COVID-19. Making matters worse was the fact that nursing homes did not have personal protective equipment or COVID testing capability.
Shockingly, the mainstream media not only gave Cuomo a pass on the scandal, but lionized him as a hero.
A Twitter user shared a heartbreaking photo of a bed sheet hanging off a highway overpass in Upstate New York. The ominous words “Cuomo Killed My Mom” were scrawled in red across the sheet.
While thousands of New Yorkers mourn the deaths of their mothers under Cuomo’s hare-brained policy, he had screeched back in March that “My mother is not expendable!”
At the time, Cuomo was criticizing President Trump’s suggestion that states should reopen in phases to prevent unemployed Americans from starving to death amid indefinite lockdowns.
While the media gaslights the public by trying to convince them that Andrew Cuomo is a hero, everyday Americans see through the propaganda.
Elaine Mazzotta is a nurse whose mother died last month at a Long Island nursing home. She says Cuomo’s inane decision accelerated the outbreaks of coronavirus in nursing homes, which have proven to be breeding grounds for infectious diseases.
“The way this has been handled by the state is totally irresponsible, negligent and stupid,” Mazzotta told the AP . “They knew better. They shouldn’t have sent these [COVID-infected] people into nursing homes.”
“ The Five ” co-host Greg Gutfeld pointed out the idiocy of Cuomo’s deadly nursing-home policy and the hypocrisy of the media, which constantly howls that “Trump has blood on his hands” but say nothing about the actual blood that’s on Andrew Cuomo’s hands.

Gutfeld also mocked CNN’s Chris Cuomo , who interviewed his older brother numerous times but never once asked about the nursing-home scandal. Keep in mind that Fredo considers himself an actual “journalist.”
“As Governor Andrew Cuomo’s New York state barred people from visiting their loved ones in nursing homes, his state simultaneously forced infected patients into the same places,” Gutfeld said. “And now we hear of an extra 1,700 deaths at these homes. The death count is nearly 5,000 now.”
Gutfeld continued: “So unlike other parts of the world — where people try to slow the spread of the coronavirus — this action accelerated it. Thank God CNN anchor Chris Cuomo pressed his brother on it. In an interview on CNN, Chris Cuomo asked Gov. Andrew Cuomo: ‘Do you think you are an attractive person now because you’re single and ready to mingle ?” Gutfeld remarked: “It helps to have a brother in the news business. And to have a brother in government. Then scandals have a way of disappearing in a big shrug. Plus, it means more time to bash President Trump. So Chris saves his moral outrage not for friends and family, but you.”

I know the reason for this directive, but what an irresponsible thing to do. Put positive people in with the group most susceptible, yeah, great idea.
Cuomo also said nursing homes were responsible for getting masks and gowns because they are privately owned. Force covid patients on nursing homes with zero state help for supplies. Again, great thinking, cuomo.
Could you imagine the outcry from libs if a certain somebody did what cuomo did?
They were supposed to be put in if and only if there was proper facilities. Otherwise they could object.
Never said. Never done.
“Never said. Never done.”
this is from the article i was referring to.
“ Cuomo faced criticism at a recent briefing for saying that providing masks and gowns to nursing homes was "not our job" because the homes were privately owned“
Here is the link if you’re interested.
So let's first get some things straight. We have both public and private nursing homes. The public ones were totally covered. The for profit private ones he said the following:
April 22, 2020
“We have been helping them with more PPE but, again, it’s not our job,” Cuomo said Wednesday during his daily briefing in Albany.
Nursing homes, Cuomo said, “have to do the job they’re getting paid to do, and if they’re not doing the job they’re getting paid to do, and they’re violating state regulations, then that’s a different issue — then they should lose their license.”
As for the mandate:
April 23, 2020
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Thursday announced a statewide investigation into nursing homes, with the support of the state’s attorney general and health department, amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Under the terms of the initiative, all nursing home operators will be required to submit proof of the steps that they have taken to comply with local and federal regulations — including directives around adequate use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and effective “cohorting” of residents — to the state’s Department of Health.
“Nursing homes, they are our top priority. They have been from day one,” Cuomo said during his daily coronavirus press conference. “Remember how the nursing home system works: They are private facilities. They get paid to provide a service. They get regulated by the state government. There are certain rules and regulations that they must follow.”
Should the DOH and the office of attorney general Letitia James determine that a specific facility failed to meet those standards, officials will inspect that property and levy fines of $10,000 per violation. Facilities can also face the loss of their license.
Operators deemed out of compliance will also be required to submit a detailed action plan for fixing the problems.
“We have been helping them with more PPE but, again, it’s not our job,”
But if you sign a mandate that forces nursing homes to take covid patients he should help them with ppe, especially if they are having trouble acquiring it. He complained about Trump on the very same subject.
Regardless, forcing a business that caters to those most susceptible to illness to accept covid patients is a terrible idea.
Gazoo,
At the state facilities, he provided for all PPE. We have both state and private facilities. The private ones are for profit, hence why he was annoyed with the situation. But he did provide, begrudgingly. And yes he did have the same complaint about Trump, said he was going to supply the states with PPE and then held it for a while in the national supply.
As for forcing patents on the facilities, he actually didn't, but things were worded poorly. We have conflicting regulations in NY, one that says you can't discriminate and not let someone into a nursing home if they are sick (with anything) and his order, which the nursing homes knew they didn't have to accept if they didn't have the facility to take them. Also, many of these same nursing homes have been cited for forcing their ill staff to work. That didn't help matters either.
Now I will say, the order could have been clearer than it was, but it wasn't.
One last thing kind of a side bar. These people who claim to love their parents so much, are putting them into nursing homes. My hubby and I have 3 seniors we watch over. One is 92, a life long diabetic with Parkinson's disease. He lives at home with a caregiver during the week and we get him on the weekends because no one wants to go to a nursing home. If you put a parent into a nursing home, imho, you don't really love them that much. There is always another way to deal with the situation.
