Andrew Cuomo changes the state’s nursing home policy after thousands have died. And naturally, he threatens nursing homes as if they, and not he, is to blame.
This weekend, after thousands of nursing home residents have died from New York State’s deadly nursing home policies, Captain Hindsight Cuomo finally got around to changing the policy.
First, the NYS Department of Health quietly removed the page on its website that ordered all nursing homes to readmit COVID-19 patients to their facilities whether or not they can adequately provide for them or protect the safety of their other residents.
Then, because he loves issuing edicts, Captain Hindsight took to Twitter to share his decrees.
What a terrific idea! Too bad you didn’t implement this, oh, say, two months ago. Then again, Captain Hindsight is great at closing the barn door after the horse escapes.
Naturally he also leveled a threat. Because that too is standard operating procedure for this feckless buffoon.
As if it was their fault they brought sick patients into their facility.
Nursing home administrators were begging the state to let them place COVID patients away from their residents. They weren’t allowed to.
So why on earth is it necessary to threaten their license?
That’s a rhetorical question. Fact is, Captain Hindsight has a long track record of passing the buck, covering his ass and issuing threats.
The glut of deaths in New York nursing homes wasn’t the fault of the nursing homes.
It was your fault, Captain Hindsight.
And no amount of threats and lectures will change that.
He was too busy doing cutsie interviews with his brother to be bothered to protect those most vulnerable.
He had more important things to do – you know, like figure out what actor would play him in the movie about his life.
But none of this is a surprise to me. It’s why I told you back in March that Captain Hindsight here isn’t a Hero; he’s a slime ball with a long history of passing buck, hiding corruption, and shifting the blame.
But for Democrats who adhere to the Politics of Good Intentions, words always matter more than actions.
So all Captain Hindsight has to do is utter some “inspiration-a-day” platitude, and the national news media and Democrat voters will gush like teenage girls meeting their idol.
You can bet little brother Chris won’t challenge Cuomo on his deadly missteps during this pandemic in any of their wacky one-on-one interviews.
Nobody in the news media will.
Their job, their only job, is to serve as fluffers for this incompetent boob.
No matter how many New Yorkers pay the price with their lives.
