This week has brought with it New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo lying about his response to the coronavirus outbreak as it pertains to nursing home policies:

While the governor won’t accept any blame, he’s always eager to pass it around to others. In this case, it’s the Orthodox Jewish community, which Cuomo blames for spreading the virus around because of their religious practices:

And there was even a little more to the video:
More Cuomo:
"We're now having issues in the Orthodox Jewish Community in NY, where because of their religious practices we're seeing a spread. But we see it, we know it, we understand it – because we're doing more testing than anyone else, and then you have to attack **them**." pic.twitter.com/t89M3C0oDW— The Meturgeman (@HaMeturgeman) October 14, 2020
Did he really just say that?
"because of their religious practices we are seeing a spread."
He actually says this in the clip. https://t.co/6FCUpjCNQZ

Cuomo says a lot in that clip, and he might not even realize it:
Quite the Freudian Slip at the end there. https://t.co/rUaClT0RRl

"Judaism is a disease vector" is a bit over the top, even for an antisemite like Cuomo. https://t.co/0zZ9DmnnFW

If they had just carried BLM signs all would have been good.

I am sure it sounded less ominous in the original German.
