WASHINGTON—Republican Whip and Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis Ranking Member Steve Scalise (R-La.) today released a timeline of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s order mandating COVID-19 positive patients to be admitted to nursing homes and long-term care facilities, his actions to cover up the scandal, and his obstruction of congressional oversight and justice.
“The facts are simple: Governor Cuomo issued an order sending thousands of contagious COVID-19 positive patients into nursing homes and then he lied about the death toll,” said Scalise. “Governor Cuomo endangered the most vulnerable, which resulted in the deaths of thousands of nursing home patients and caused unimaginable grief for their families and loved ones. Governor Cuomo refuses to take any responsibility for his actions, continues to cover up the truth, obstructs congressional oversight and justice, and threatens anyone who crosses him. We need a full investigation into Governor Cuomo’s actions—anyone responsible must be prosecuted. Grieving families and the American people deserve answers and accountability.”
