Gov. Andrew Cuomo is a hypocrite on life, death and nursing homes
NY Post, May 20, 2020, Miranda Devine



In his daily coronavirus briefing on Wednesday, Gov. Andrew Cuomo was as haughty and boastful as ever.

The difference this time was that the Albany press pack didn’t give him a free pass.

It’s incredible how highly he rates himself when he has presided over the most COVID deaths of any state in the nation by far — 22,976 as of Wednesday, some seven times more than California, 11 times more than Florida. New York still hasn’t come to grips with why that is. The disparity is not a random act of God, as the governor would have us believe.

And yet, not a trace of worry do we see on Cuomo’s tanned face. There is no remorse, just buck-passing.

Wednesday, for instance, he blamed President Trump for the nursing-home deaths. The chutzpah is astonishing. But at least he faced tough questions about a potential federal probe into his March 25 directive to nursing homes.

She went for maximum burn!

When did this a$$hole start wearing a mask?
