Jake Tapper shares CNN's fact check about Gov. Cuomo's nursing home claim (Hint: 'Has hell frozen over?')

As we told you Thursday, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo set off BS detectors everywhere after he told a local media outlet that COVID-19 patients were never sent to nursing homes.

How bad was Gov. Cuomo’s lie? It was so big that even CNN, the cable net that employs the governor’s cheerleading brother Chris, could not cover for him:

Amazing, isn’t it? If CNN were serious about the truth they would confiscate Chris Cuomo’s giant prop cotton swab.

Bro, why would @NYGovCuomo lie about this?

This is beyond a lie and I’ve been saying for months some sort of third party investigation should occur to see why NY and NJ saw the devastation that it did in March, April & May#COVID19 #coronavirus #NYC #Cuomo https://t.co/WWNBMM3Sjy
