There’s a truth that the media and others who fawned over New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo didn’t want to hear. -- His executive orders were one of the biggest reasons why so many of our parents and grandparents died of COVID in the state’s elder care facilities.
We lost more seniors to COVID in our nursing homes than we lost New Yorkers to 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina combined. That staggering death toll includes both of my husband’s parents, Mickey and Dee Newman.
Why didn’t this fact spark outrage in 2020?
Now, we finally know why, and it’s what we have suspected for many months: Because this administration has been doing everything it could to keep that information hidden by blaming, bullying, lying and covering up.
I’ve personally been attacked by the governor’s spokespeople as have my family members and the other brave people that dared to challenge this administration.
I have been told that I wasn’t a credible voice about anything except the weather and that I was part of a death cult that wouldn’t stop hounding Cuomo or his office.
I was warned to "watch my back" and "be careful."
Why? Because Gov. Cuomo was too powerful, both revered and feared by those who covered him and worked for him.
