Mr. Mayor, Respectfully: How DID You Kill All Those Old Folks in Nursing Homes?

A Killer Encourages Us To Ask How He Did It

Governors are a repulsive breed, for sure, but New York’s Andrew Cuomo may out-repulsive them all. Corruption and arrogance ooze from every pore under his menacing aura.

Some of that was on display at “his daily press briefing” when he opined, “I hope people learn from what we have accomplished here in New York … I hope people around the country look at New York and say, ‘how did they do that? How did they go from the worst situation in terms of transmission to the best? How did they do that?’”

No doubt this megalomaniac wants people asking because he’s sure all credit will redound to him. And I admit it should: Andy’s word has been law, including decisions on who lives and who dies, since March, when the legislature handed him even more immense power than he already wielded.

So I, too, urge Americans to ask how he did it. Perhaps then the thousands of folks in nursing homes who died because of his diktats will at last find some justice.

But I’m not holding my breath. And I bet Felix Bronstein, who sent me the link, isn’t either.
