Since late June 2020, AMAC has been working with the minority (Republican) members on the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis to get answers from the governors of New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Pennsylvania and California regarding their decision to defy Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Service (CMS) guidelines, and, instead force nursing homes to admit COVID-19 contagious patients who were discharged from hospitals. A tragic number of seniors in these states perished due to these decisions.
When alerted to these deadly errors in judgment by these states’ governors and after discussion with the Select Committee Republican Members, AMAC Action was asked to assist in this investigation. As a result in July, AMAC members sent over 4500 emails to these governors demanding their accountability regarding their decision to discharge COVID-19 contagious patients from hospitals to nursing homes, causing a disproportionate spike in elderly nursing home deaths in those states.
Now we learn that in an investigative finding published in a scathing report by the NY Attorney General that the state undercounted – little doubt to “cover up — nursing home COVID deaths by up to 5o%!
This led House Republican Whip and Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis Ranking Member Steve Scalise (R-La.) on January 28 to renew his call for New York Governor Andrew Cuomo to provide all data on nursing home deaths related to Cuomo’s deadly must admit order causing COVID patients to be housed in available space in the nursing homes. Rep. Scalise letter says, in part:
“Considering the shocking new report revealing you and your administration drastically undercounted nursing home deaths in New York state, we write to request your full and immediate response to our previous questions. To date, you and New York State Attorney General Letitia James have failed to respond to [prior] requests posed in three separate letters. The report released today establishes that you ordered COVID-19 positive patients back into nursing homes, this order caused infections and fatalities, and you took concerted efforts to cover it up.”
“…This raises serious concerns and insinuates complicity in thousands of preventable deaths.
“Today it is clear, you ordered COVID-19 positive patients back into nursing homes, this order caused infections and fatalities, and you took concerted efforts to cover it up.”
In another bombshell regarding counting nursing home fatalities in New York, a top aide to Governor Cuomo recently apologized to Democrat lawmakers about an alleged cover-up involving the number of deaths due to the coronavirus in these facilities. Melissa DeRosa, who is the Secretary to the Governor, allegedly expressed her fears of investigation from federal prosecutors if accurate COVID-19 nursing home deaths were disclosed. DeRosa reportedly admitted hiding data from the state after the Trump Administration began looking into nursing home deaths in New York.
Back in August 2020, U.S. Department of Justice joined in the investigation and requested COVID-19 data from governors in four of these states: New York, New Jersey, Michigan and Pennsylvania. The Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division was to evaluate whether to initiate investigations under the federal “Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act” (CRIPA), which protects the civil rights of persons in state-run nursing homes. The then Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights said at that time:
“Protecting the rights of some of society’s most vulnerable members, including elderly nursing home residents, is one of our country’s most important obligations. We must ensure they are adequately cared for with dignity and respect and not unnecessarily put at risk.”
We hope that actions do not stop with the new Biden administration.
AMAC is continuing the fight to protect susceptible seniors and we will provide updates as they become available. AMAC Action continues to work with the minority members of the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis to assist where we can in these investigations.

Send it to the grand jury and get them indicted on the felonies they committed.
Is it not possible, indeed, desirable, that relatives of the those who died of coronavirus because of contact with those who entered a home for the elderly with coronavirus contagion, due to the governor’s order, sue the governor on the grounds that his order was the effective cause of the relative’s death?
Here in Michigan our Governor is a want to be far-left Queen. She has closed mom and pops stores while letting the big box store stay open. Even though her action with nursing home residents has not come to a head yet, the truth will come out she did little to protect the elderly. Our leadership here in Michigan is far from fair. I have written senator Gray Peters also Peter Meijer as of today no response. I will admit I was not the nicest person in my letter to them, but I still ask for a response. They were elected to represent all of us, not just people that ask softball questions. I want to know what their thoughts are regarding The Great Reset, the new green deal. gun control, taking away free speech and voting rights. You would think they Peters, Meijer would want us voters to know what to expect in the coming months. Unless they are afraid that the voters won’t like what they are thinking. I did tell Meijers I thought his vote to impeach Donald John Trump would make him a one-term senator, he is already part of the swamp. As I have said before If you part of the radical left I PRAY you FAIL. Wake up Michigan before it’s too late. Thanks.
Socialists and rinos keep getting elected because they have been using VOTER FRAUD for DECADES, MOSTLY in local and state elections which gives them control of thier states, PRESIDENT TRUMP EXPOSED THEM, THATS WHY THEY HATE HIM, he is NOT a politician, HE IS ONE OF US, THE REAL AMERICAN CITIZENS who want TRUTH AND JUSTICE!!! STOP THE STEAL!!!!
I believe one of the biggest problems is people not getting out to vote in local elections. At least you have more knowledge of the locals and it’s a whole lot easier finding out about them.
Heard this morning on Newsmax Cuomo stating “there is nothing to investigate”—–Really??
So many of us have suspected the dishonesty in this.
The judiciary jailed and executed Ted Bundy for killing how many people? Cuomo and HIS directives directly killed how many people? What should be done? Bring Cuomo to the brink of death a few hundred times before finally executing him? Justice for this pompous self centered lying bastard should be quick, direct and permanent. Whats good for the Bundy is good for the Cuomo.
It is also a well-known fact that many deaths during the pandemic were reported as Covid-19-related, when, in fact, they were not. In an age when computers make the communication, accuracy, ease and scope of accountability an exact science, it is and has been the obvious failure of professionals to implement policies which are scientific and which, actually, inform the science. Partisan-political prejudices prevented purposeful discrimination with respect to those infected with the virus in order to prevent its rapid spread, just as these same prejudices, now, inform the policies which are injurious to the American citizenry, particularly those related to the prevention and treatment of illegal aliens at the Southern border.
Confusion reigned at many of the daily, Covid-19 information sessions from federal and state, government officials. It was obvious the medical professionals were ill-informed and changed their opinions and advice concerning measures to be taken with respect to prevention. It is, particularly, noteworthy that, once determined, the measures of wearing a mask and washing hands often or using hand-sanitizer and “social distancing” have been the ONLY preventative and protective measures which have not changed during the entire period of the pandemic. Ignorance has been the greatest cause of confusion, whether a simple lack of science-based information or willful disregard for the nature of contagion with respect to communicable diseases and it is the ignorance of majority rule which allows democrats to go unpunished for their wanton promotion of the culture of death. It is purposeless to make these observations.
Andrew Cuomo has been a nightmare since his days as A.G. His leadership has given the State of NY more unconstitutional laws and mandates than any other state EVER has, and has given us the distinction of being the MOST Corrupt, Least Free, and Least Religious state as well. We also pay the highest taxes. When Cuomo forced the NY Safe Act through in 2013, he did it in the middle of the night, violating both the right of the Legislature to read it, and the required, 3-day aging period. He also violated the U.S Constitution, Second Amendment. Despite massive protests, he got away with it. I could tell you WHY and HOW he pulled it off, but there isn’t enough room here. In the years since, Cuomo has made Abortion Legal, Same-Sex Marriage Legal, Passed Red Flag Laws, Bail Reform, Special Rights for LGBTQ Groups, Allowed BLM and ANTIFA to riot in our cities,etc., etc. His extreme and tyrannical response to the Covid Pandemic was the worst in America, save maybe for Newsom in California, who is now being recalled. Now, Cuomo is DIRECTLY responsible for the unnecessary deaths of over 15,000 Senior Citizens in NY, which he and his Democrat Cronies tried to cover up. If THIS doesn’t send Cuomo packing and see him facing Trial for his crimes, NOTHING WILL. We might as well abolish all Law Enforcement and the entire Judicial System and let chaos reign.
The only thing I would like to know is why we, US citizens tolerate PAC’s or Super PAC’s. Seems like rich people get richer and then give that to the political smart people who grovel at their feet for more money. Ya know we should be worshiping God, not the “almighty” dollar. Any way you look at this we’re screwed, it’s always nice to have “good guys” versus “bad boys”. They all make money off our hard work and while we all agree about unity and fairness, they prefer to keep screwing everything up, just to get more money. When will “more money” be enough for those people, probably never, just look at their deeds, Biden never did any meaningful laws, he’s just a follower that lets his family profit off of Oblama. I kinda bet the Founding Fathers didn’t plan on this raping (yes, I said that word) of the United States.Hopefully they’ve already asked for forgiveness from God daily (I know I have to, I screw up/sin without even trying). I already know if Hitler asked for forgiveness daily from God, he’d be accepted, if he meant it. That’s way above my pay grade. All this leads up to God accepting us for being too worldly, which ain’t gonna happen except by Christ. Can’t see Dad without going thru our Bro. Just saying we’re screwed.
Wake up America.
These socialist democrats, with their failed and immoral policies, cancel culture,corruption, and law breaking , have in days;
cheated voters in elections,sold out our Country with the green deal, bypassing our Constitution, their negligence is killing our seniors,aborting our babies eliminating our jobs,free speech, opening our borders, raising taxes, and taking away our guns????
So when do Americans say HELL NO!!
Freedom is being taken from American Citizena right before our eyes.
We the people better stand up now and remove these failures or risk the destruction of America!
Contact them today and say NO MORE!
Believe me that we have tried but there’s a big Pac funding these politics and we have that 7% of extremely high-income individuals who demand their special treatment, plus pay for their chosen politicians to remain in place. Plus we have 13 billionaires living in NYC alone which explains why DeBlasio is the mayor. Neither Cuomo nor DeBlasio or AOC are looking out for the real people of NYS, just the ones lining their pockets.
Democrats. Nothing will happen.
Only the mentally challenged would vote for someone like Cuomo. But the dems voted for Biden
so I guess if your a dem-o-rat you have to be mentally challenged in order to vote!!!
We are so tired of the lies of the left!
It is unfathomable to me how the people who elect these corrupt people are not embarrassed and not demanding their removal now, much less not even bother to vote them out of office during scheduled elections..
Hmm, no one is above the law except Gov. Cuomo. He will end up with a HIGH level job with the democrats. What else can we expect from socialist?
Coumo should be in prison for all those murders he should be on death row
If that simple truth is banned AMAC is. It what I thought it was.
He needs to go to jail he is a criminal for the rest of his life prison !!!!! PLEASE
The thing is Cuomo is a lousy communicator and comes off as talking down to people. Yet the media and every Democrat I know think he is the second coming. He accomplishes nothing and is praised for the failures not being even worse than they are. Talk about a low bar to clear. It is just amazing that the act Cuomo puts on is so effective in fooling so many people. Just goes to show how many truly stupid people there are in the world.
Cuomo lied because, like most Democrat politicians during the Covid-19 crisis, party politics supersedes the value of human life. The President had supplied not only a fully-staffed naval medical vessel, but converted the Javits Center into a huge ICU facility to off-load the strain on the city’s numerous hospitals. Other emergency field hospitals were set up around the city and the rest of the state of New York to accomplish the same purpose of ensuring there would be available hospital beds to treat the infected.
Cuomo didn’t want to use any of these facilities, because he didn’t want to acknowledge that the President had supplied him with everything he asked for and then some. That would be giving Trump a win and no Democrat politician in 2020 was going to do that. In short, Governor Cuomo like every other Democrat Governor didn’t want to give Trump a win no matter what the consequences. Politics was valued above everything else by Cuomo.
So the facilities went almost entirely unused. All while the city and state hospitals were over-worked and elderly people infected with Covid-19 were sent back to nursing homes to infect whole facilities while Cuomo played “the Good Democrat” for the media with his daily TV and radio broadcasts. He even won an EMMY for his performance. Unfortunately, that is cold comfort for the families of the 15,000 people Cuomo essentially murdered with his executive order.
Will Cuomo “pay a price”? He’s a Democrat, so it is really doubtful based on history. The Mayor of New York, Comrade Bill, has been a total disaster and he is still there. The people of NYC won’t even consider anyone other than a “Progressive” Democrat, no matter how bad things get. So the state, as a whole, is kind of stuck circling the drain, because of that stupidity. Maybe the Biden administration will offer Cuomo a high-ranking job in D.C., if things get too hot for Cuomo to just sweep it all under the rug. Who knows.
cuomo got elected by the “flipping” machine just like chinajoe, STOP THE STEAL!
Typical socialist/dem action, they murder millions of defenseless babies for PROFIT, Why do you think they CARE about seniors? They think seniors are TAKING “RESOURCES” from THEM, that means MONEY, cuomo thinks everyones mother is expendible( except his mommy) he took her out of a nursing home to protect HER from the PANDEMIC, THAT is abuse of power! Remove him from office
Cuomo cried and complained. Being a native New Yorker and understanding the potential to wipe out the city’s population, President Trump built a hospital in the Javits center and staffed it as well as sending the naval ship, modified to accept contagious patients. He also sent every ventilator he could find after the city sold the ones they were not using! Cuomo sang the president’s praises for his federal assistance for a New York minute. It is a sad state of affairs when elected leaders fail to value human life and the welfare of the people they are duty bound to protect. As they continue to elect their democrat leaders, I find it hard to sympathize with them. Praying for the lost souls and and the disenfranchised.
The New York City voters and many of the suburbs are died in the wool progressive liberals who would rather elect one of their famous rats than a Republican. Now they are stuck with the kind of leadership they selected.
I agree entirely that Cuomo was negligent in his decision and should be held accountable. But I hope that journalists, pundits, anchors, etc., do not forget that the virus originated in China, maybe on purpose, and China should also be held accountable. More people have died from this disease than from Pearl Harbor and 9-11 combined.
Not only should they be impeached, they should be charged with either murder or premeditated manslaughter. Having the Naval Ship to use, there is absolutely no excuse. We all knew he did it at the time. Other governors I was not aware of but this governor and mayor have absolutely no excuse. The secretary should NOT go down as she probably did not know where she could whistle blow to. Glad it is coming out now and even CBS news is reporting on it. Cuomo is finally going down, one way or another.
I think that Andrew Cuomo and the mayor of New York should be impeached over their handling of the COVID 19 nursing home debacle. They had the U. S. Naval Ship in harbor to use for COVID patients and refused to do so. A lot of deaths could have been avoided if they had handled things the way they should.
Did anyone notice Scumbag Cuomo got his secretary to take the fall? I’m a former “secretary” and would have quit my job before going down for him. Of course, I wouldn’t have taken a job working for that POS in the first place.
The Dims gave him an Emmy for his great acting during the mayors Vid 19 updates, next the bass ackwards left will nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize for great work on ushering old folks to their final rest-in-peace destination. The left in this country are crazy, nonsensical, lying children….
Cuomo did all for Politics & didnt want Trump then to get credit so People Died while Cuomo lied
Day 1
Wheres all the lawsuits from kin?
Cuomo lied People died
Whose gonna Recall him
Keep the pressure on them!
Governors must be held accountable for their actions!
did anyone believe Cuomo? at any time? really?
I recently read online that not only did Cuomo mislead everyone by not counting the numbers of nursing home residents who died in hospitals, but he also lied about the numbers of those who died in nursing homes from Covid. This drives up the rate of under-reporting Covid deaths in nursing homes to more than 65%!
He needs to lose his job and to be banned from running for public office ever again.
Cuomo is the ultimate swamper. He’s “entitled” to be governor because his daddy was. Just like Beshear in KY or the Clintons or Bushes in DC. You get a free pass regardless of how stupid and corrupt you are.
If I did what my illustrious governor did to ONE person, I could be charged with, at least, involuntary manslaughter. I can’t fathom how or why New Yorkers consistently elect crooks!
Cuomo cried wolf for ventilators, hospitals, and anything else he could get. So President Trump sent him everything he asked for. More ventilators than anywhere else, hospital ships with our finest military doctors and nurses, built temporary facilities all over New York trying to head off the coming crisis. But Cuomo thumbed his nose at the aid, used hardly anything that was sent, and forced nursing homes to care for Covid positive patients, when they were neither trained nor properly outfitted for such patients. Many staff and patients died because of his actions, and nothing happens. First sue him, then hang him!! But I suspect it will all be swept under the rug, as usual!! Shameful!!
I admire AMAC’s desire to get to the bottom of this scandal, but also remember with whom you are dealing. These individuals are some of the more dictatorial members of government drunk on power and draconian edicts.
Our countrymen watched helplessly as the New York governor did what any imbecile would have known better than to do–send patients with a known contagious disease into nursing homes filled with some of our most weak. Repeat: ANY IMBECILE! No one was allowed to advocate for these people, no one was there to hold their hands as they were sentenced to sure deaths. Bodies piled up in the most sickening way. Many, many of us called this murder, as it unfolded. Arrests should be coming. And freedom in our country needs to be preserved. No more forcing us into health decisions that we are not even comfortable in accepting!
Should be no surprise to anyone. When you have NY State legislators celebrating the ability to destroy unborn lives, what’s next? People on the other end of the age spectrum!!!
Remember when MSM gushed about the GREAT job ComodO was doing and he’s top notch Presidential material? He belongs in prison!!!
I would like to see that report. It’s more likely that they over-counted. I would like to see an audit of the deaths and thee payments they received for them. After all, a doctor or medical facility received $10,000 for each Wuhan flu case reported…or something like that. Hard to get down to the brass tacks on some of this basic and vital information so that we can make informed decisions. Whenever information is hidden like this, you can bet corruption is so deep that you can expect to find major crimes underneath it all.
There are people who want you to be canceled/prosecuted for using your right to free speech and letting them know that you don’t agree with them on a wide range of topics/policies. These same people look the other way when actual crimes are committed or actually support the committing of crimes if it fits their narrow-minded ideals. What I would like to know is what can be done legally and without violence to get people (especially politicians) held accountable for their crimes. Without equal unbiased justice I believe we will see an escalation in violence.
Como is a liberal….Why would this be a surprise to anyone.. Not me…
When you have uneducated, uniformed idiots voting in elections
————————this is a prime example of what happens!
The appropriate saying, “YE SHALL REAP WHAT YE SOW” !!!!!!
Just another example of what happens when you try to put SOCIALISTS in charge.
As a resident of Michigan I made up my mind many months ago. The only way this old geezer goes into a nursing home is at gun point.
Coumo should be forced out of office and put in prison for this inexcusable act on seniors.
