He is responsible.
ex-gov. Andrew Cuomo repeatedly thwarted responsibility and stubbornly refused to admit mistakes in his long record at frequent two-hour editorial meetings on Monday.
Cuomo argued that the “anti-Semitic” democratic socialists of America, the true architect of the generous criminal justice law he signed, and generally the true architect of New York and even more misery, were the left.
Even when Cuomo was unable to change his responsibility, he still didn't admit his mistakes, including the worst day of the Covid-19 pandemic, where he was governor.
He defended a highly critical order issued on March 25, 2020 by his health department requiring nursing homes to accept recovery for coronavirus patients who have been discharged from hospitals.
Not only that, but Cuomo, who brought about a slideshow presentation that reminded him of the daily pandemic-era briefing, continued to deny the link.
“You want the state to say, 'We killed people,' but that's not true,” Cuomo insisted during one cheerful exchange when asked why he wasn't wrong.
When Cuomo broke in, he almost turned around – admitting relaxed lockdown rules and school closures could take place sooner.
And it went.
Cuomo defended approval of the Cashless Bail Act in 2019, approved by fellow Democrats in the state legislature, hinting at the detrimental effects of DSA lawmakers on the far left.
“The governor is not a dictator,” he said, distracting responsibility.
“We'll do our best we can… Consider the political environment and what we can do in legislation, think about finances.”
At one point he insisted that he was not a “ti-sick flower.”
Elsewhere, he defended sanctuary city and state policies.
Cuomo signed the Greenlight Act, which allows illegal immigrants to obtain driver's licenses, proudly envisioning the final Trump administration accessing data from the state's Motor Vehicle Bureau.
“We don't give them a database. They said, 'We'll work together, but we can't give them an entire database of people who didn't do anything,'” he recalled telling President Trump during his previous term.
He also attributed the politicized environment of the pandemic, as he said Americans should be skeptical of the COVID vaccine pushed out by Trump's administrators.
Cuomo dismissed the accusations he had recuperated Covid-19 patients to nursing homes as “cruel” and “strange” at the request of a politically influential hospital executive who was worried about being hit by a patient hit by a deadly virus.
The brave former governor also denied that he intentionally undercounted the number of nursing home residents who died in Covid while writing a $5 million profitable book on handling the pandemic.
Reports by both the state attorney general and the director concluded that he voted low in deaths.
“If you create false information submitted to the federal government, it's a felony and the simplest felony to prosecute,” Cuomo said, referring to the Justice Department investigation under Trump.
He also defended writing the book, claiming that critics were manipulating profitable and cash-in-cash policies behind those who died in Covid was “authorised” and “really offensive.”
“We went first. We were the worst. Tell us what we know,” Cuomo said. “I thought it would help. “Don't learn the lessons we've learned from making mistakes we made.”
However, he insisted that he does not remember to request a cash-bound bar to sell food along with drinks, under interrogation by the Post, one of the most laughs and authoritarian pandemic rules in his administration.
Even if state regulators say Nosing doesn't meet food requirements during social distancing, some of the pubs, known as mandated snacks, are called “cuomo chips.”
“I don't remember that. What was it again? That wasn't my idea,” Cuomo laughed, claiming that the experts had advised him about it.
The strange revocation of memories was not Cuomo's only strange stumbling.
He mentioned City Council Chairman Adrian Adams. Adrian Adams is running for mayor as chairman of the council.
He also confused the NYPD with the MTA police. And at certain points he seemed difficult to hear people at the end of the meeting room table.
Meanwhile, he also defended his green energy policy, which critics accused as infeasible.
Cuomo has closed the Indian Point nuclear power plant in Westchester, which provided energy to New York City utilities while banning fracking for natural gas.
He also approved The Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act.
The law requires New York to reduce its overall economy's greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 by 40% and by 85% or more by 2050 from the 1990 level.
However, an automotive industry representative needed to increase sales of electric vehicles said the target is Pipedream.
“What happens if you can't achieve your goal in 2030? You're just violating your goal,” he said.
