Dr. Anthony Fauci, who previously praised Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s coronavirus response, is suddenly tight-lipped after allegations that his administration purposely hid data on the nursing home deaths:
Fauci, who praised N.Y. for 'correctly' responding to COVID, says he 'can't' comment on Cuomo scandal https://t.co/lMwjnKbRzV

Twitchy favorite Janice Dean called him a “coward” over his silence and she’s 100% correct:
When asked about his buddy @NYGovCuomo’s nursing home coverup, after many months saying he did it “right” suddenly Dr. Fauci says “no comment.” Coward. https://t.co/rIeOOZ0uP6

And, actually, Gov. Cuomo wouldn’t be in this mess if he had taken this advice, too:
Fauci is now playing politics, and that will undermine his credibility going forward.
Just admit he screwed up, and move on. https://t.co/jRBN4wPD9G

Flashback: Remember in December when the two Italians were goofing with each other and comparing themselves to Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino?

Yeah, “no comment” doesn’t really cut it, especially now that Gov. Cuomo is reportedly under FBI investigation:
These two were laughing and clowning around. Now, Fauci wants to distance himself and give @NYGovCuomo the Percoco treatment. “Um… yeah… I don’t know.. Ahh no comment.”
Too late Fauci. Was he in on the deadly nursing home decision? https://t.co/nzEN0s8A7z— Steve McLaughlin (@SteveMcNY) February 17, 2021
What’s even funnier about the Pacino-DeNiro shtick is that Dr. Fauci was just yessing the governor during it, too:
Gov. Cuomo had Dr. Fauci on to pat him on the head and tell him he's a good boy doing a good job, and it turns out Fauci didn't even know the plan he was endorsing. That's really where we are. https://t.co/j9nlfdQpTS

Imagine if Time had made either one of them the Person of the Year?
TIME Magazine announced the dozens of candidates for its Person of the Year for 2020 and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Dr. Anthony Fauci, President Donald Trump and President-elect Joe Biden are among the candidates. https://t.co/Nfy0vSdkio
