New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd wrote a piece about New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the #MeToo movement, but the indefatigable Janice Dean shamed her (mistakenly) for not once mentioning Cuomo’s nursing home scandal.
Nice essay @maureendowd. No woman should endure this behavior. But not one mention of @NYGovCuomo’s nursing home massacre that helped kill over 15,000 seniors? Shame on you too.

Dowd got back to Dean with the highlighted portion of her column that dealt with Cuomo’s nursing home massacre, and we suppose Dowd thought it was a win of some sort:

OK, so she gave it one sentence: “He was preaching openness and honesty while fumbling and deceiving on nursing home deaths.” Fumbling? That’s it?
Must’ve missed it. Thanks for pointing out. I still think you “buried the lede.”

14 words in the piece and she's defending it ??

You misspelled lying and covering up

Ha ha… see ?there is one “kinda” mention of the thousands who likely died of Cuomo’s corruption schemes… Seems like Maureen is doing some fumbling and deceiving of her own.

No need to use the words “fumbling and” in that sentence.

My bad. 15,000 elderly deaths got this one line in @maureendowd’s lengthy @NYGovCuomo column. “Fumbling and deceiving” wouldn’t be the words I would’ve used to decribe it though. https://t.co/mhDDCNwu6O

#MeToo is a big deal. No question. Cuomo should be punished for his disgusting behavior. BUT PUTTING 9,000 INFECTED PATIENTS INTO NURSING HOMES AND COVERING UP THE NUMBERS SHOULD NOT GET A THROW-AWAY LINE IN A MAJOR NEWSPAPER COLUMN
— Janice Dean (@JaniceDean) March 6, 2021
Interesting and deliberate arrangement of words. By putting "fumbling" first softens the "deceiving." Like Cuomo only deliberately falsified the death numbers because he was confused.

She misspelled " lying and obstructing"

Weaseling and lying

Perhaps you are unfamiliar with Ms. Dowd's work?

It’s Maureen Dowd, she will go against a man but not a Democrat
— Victoria (@VictoriaV012) March 6, 2021
Dowd says Cuomo was “fumbling and deceiving on nursing home deaths” and thinks she’s covered the story.
