At the beginning of September, we told you disgraced former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo would be testifying in front of Congress about his role in sending COVID patients to nursing homes. The move killed many seniors in The Empire State, and back at a hearing in June the panel that questioned Cuomo found his behavior 'shockingly callous' as he denied responsibility for issuing the directive that sent thousands of seniors to an early grave.
Well, it turns out Cuomo personally altered COVID death numbers related to his nursing home directive and that he lied during the hearing in June.
We also call that 'perjury'.
Cuomo personally altered COVID nursing-home death report that low-balled fatalities, emails show: report https://t.co/ZhvWK3K9qc pic.twitter.com/9trJLcFxe2

More from The New York Post (emphasis added):
Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo personally altered a state review that lowballed the nursing home COVID-19 death count, emails detailed in a new report show – a revelation that directly contradicts his claims he had nothing to do with it.
Emails and congressional documents undercut Cuomo’s defiant assertion during a summer congressional grilling that he never saw or even had any memory of the state Health Department report, the New York Times first reported.
“Governor’s edits are attached for your review,” Cuomo’s assistant wrote to the then-governor’s senior staff in June 2020, the Times report states.
He. Knew.
He knew his directive killed thousands of New York seniors and did irreparable harm to families.
He. KNEW. And lied.
Why isn’t he being indicted for a crime? Why isn’t he under arrest?

Excellent questions, both.
Sounds like somebody needs to look into Tim Waltz nursing home deaths https://t.co/RMQF8EYrpS

It absolutely is.
@ChrisCuomo remember when you and your brother did comedy skits when this was going down? Good times.

We'll never forget that.
Sad that the New York Post gotta say it. Cuomo Sucks and that was no more apparent than during the horrors of Pandemic Year 1 https://t.co/3svx4VaTGM

The rest of the media largely ignored this and we all know why.
Unforgivable https://t.co/pswdtFfAOi

Absolutely unforgivable.
Love how it’s taking this long to show what any logical person knew already. He should be in jail along with the other governors that did this in their state. Millions of dollars in field hospitals were never used, instead they put it with the most vulnerable population https://t.co/GdzrWfAJ57

There needs to be a reckoning for this.
And he wants to be the next mayor of New York City. 🤦♂️ https://t.co/NzgrKEfzEA

Absolutely not.
Scumbag. Now he wants to run for Mayor of NYC. And, the sad part is.....New Yorkers will vote him in. New York deserves everything that happens to it, because they keep voting clowns like this in. Cuomo has been riding daddy's coat-tails his whole life. https://t.co/BSxk2xeiLr

We hope you're wrong.
Here's more details on the emails.
NEW: Earlier this summer, @andrewcuomo told Congress he had no memory of reviewing a 2020 DOH report about nursing homes deaths before its release.

New reporting appears to show Mr. Cuomo not only saw the report but personally wrote parts of early drafts https://t.co/sPpNvgHHo1 pic.twitter.com/MMIZwGFf6T
The headline from The New York Times is a gross understatement:
“Undersold” is an understatement. Cuomo lied at his Congressional Subcommittee Hearing in June. https://t.co/KfRUQdIJTX pic.twitter.com/HSi8SXmIgD

'Undersold' is a nice way of saying HE LIED.
“Undersold” maybe the NYT headline writers’ most absurd euphemism for “lied through his teeth about” yet: https://t.co/3uiTiylZZG

You don't despise the media enough.
And, as always, this writer thinks of Janice Dean, who lost both of her in-laws to Cuomo's gross negligence.
PERJURY https://t.co/tjb1OTRrb0

It absolutely is. He lied in June.
He needs to be held accountable.
