From the Daily Caller: Republican New York Rep. Elise Stefanik and former Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo got into a heated shouting match on Tuesday over Cuomo’s responsibility for nursing home deaths during the COVID-19 lockdowns.
The House Oversight Committee’s Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic held a hearing to gather Cuomo’s testimony on his handling of nursing homes after reports revealed an undercounting of patient deaths. Stefanik stated the committee’s investigation found Cuomo and his senior aides “made a deliberate decision” to “exclude” certain information related to the deaths.
“And for the public, Governor Cuomo changed the methodology of counting nursing home fatalities to exclude out of facility deaths to undercount those. I want to ask you what period of time were you negotiating for your book deal?” Stefanik asked.
The former governor pushed back, questioning the facts of her statement. However, Stefanik continued to press Cuomo, asking again about his book deal, but he evaded the question.
During the fiery exchange, Stefanik told Cuomo, “This is about those seniors, governor. They deserve to hear from you, in the eye that you apologize. That you were negotiating for a multimillion dollar book deal. It is a disgrace. There is a reason why you are the former governor of New York state and you will never hold elected office again!”
