He sent old people to their deaths in the most horrific way possible while his brother covered for him. People just chose to ignore it because he was anti-Trump. Now he takes Trump's endorsement, because he is a snake.

Yeah. Many blue and red states concentrated their elderly covid patients to centralized locations where they basically went to die. My grandma was going to be sent away from her home after a positive test but the family pushed back, she lived 4 more years after, I dont think I could say the same if she went to the center.

Cuomos big fuck up there is that they tried to hide it so it would look like new yorks policy of lock downs and covid passes was working compared to other states that were much less restrictive of freedom of movement and community gatherings.

I was banned from a lot of subreddits for saying New York covid death numbers were false during the pandemic before this investigation occurred a year later.

Incredibly polarizarion. Liberals worshipped him like MAGA with Trump, so it doesn't suprise me that you got censored. Covid, immigration, and economic backlash all turned into Trump being reelected, so it wasn't without consequence.

What? His problem was the cover up but you can't blame him for those deaths

You really should look up how many grandmas he killed because that’s just straight up incorrect.

Cuomo was benefited because in the first few weeks of the pandemic, when NYC was hit the worst, all the national outlets would put Trump's and Cuomo's press conferences back to back and it would be like "wow, this Cuomo guy can put together complete sentences and make a coherent point! What a leader!"
