Thousands of New Yorkers died on Andrew Cuomo’s watch.
At the height of the pandemic, Cuomo enforced a policy that required New York nursing homes to accept patients infected with coronavirus. And now he is going to be rewarded for this.
He is getting an Emmy award for his press briefings.
You could not make this up.

Andrew Cuomo deserves to be on trial for the elderly people his nursing home order directly murdered. Instead, he's getting an Emmy. https://t.co/06wlXtP2pq

Giving Andrew Cuomo an award for pandemic leadership is like giving Hannibal Lector an award for excellence in the field of culinary arts.
