"There is a toxic political environment and everything gets politicized," says Andrew Cuomo, about @bern_hogan's reporting, deriding it without disputing a single thing.
@bern_hogan What Cuomo is saying about the DOJ request is not what Melissa DeRosa is caught on tape saying about the DOJ request.
@bern_hogan "The New York State DOH has always fully and completely reported" nursing home deaths, claims Cuomo, which is decidedly not the case.
@bern_hogan Now Cuomo is talking about all the requirements put on nursing homes to care for COVID patients. Which, sure. But guess who's in charge of regulating and safeguarding nursing homes? Cuomo's administration. And guess which industry has often struggled to care for patients well?
I love it when Cuomo selectively refers to data that every reporter has requested under FOIL — and which his state DOH has failed to produce.
Cuomo is quoting the defense his administration gave the state AG on Page 36 of her report -- while completely ignoring all of the things he got wrong on Page 37 -- ag.ny.gov/sites/default/…

Lehrer's question: You accepted the DOI report but the special response group -- accused of repeatedly roughing up protestors sans cause -- keeps responding to protestors. Why?
