@NYGovCuomo has deleted his march 25 th order requiring nursing homes to take #coronavirus positive patients. Wait. He says he did nothing wrong. So why try to cover up his mistakes? It’s hard to delete a disaster that big from history governor

@NYGOVCUOMO effort to blame @realdonaldtrump for his disastrous nursing home policies is complete nonsense. It was Cuomo’s DOH directive for nursing homes to take infected people. NO MENTION OF CDC. WHY did he wait 47 DAYS to reverse policy? Did #POTUS tell him to do that too?

If ever there was an atrocity that demanded the death penalty, the murderous attacks of September 11th that claimed the lives of 2,977 innocent souls is one. Sadly, this is just another show of weakness in the face of terror from the Biden-Harris administration.
